l.u.x. & erving concert

noaptea ploiasa si cizmulitele mele rosii suprasaturate de apa. din baltoaca in baltoaca strabatand kreuzbergul, ca sa ajungem sa o vedem si auzim pe Carrie...credeam ca strabatusem jumate de noapte, cand la marginea unei alei am auzit de departe vocea ei. am intrat intr-un gang intunecos si de acolo intr-un coridor lung cu bar si scena la capat. coridorul sau barul erau strabatute de meteoriti minusculi generati incontinuu de o bila de disco. sub ninsoarea de lumina se genera muzica folk pop - impletita cu vocea ei, atat de linistitor totul si atat de perfect incat tot ce lipsea era cainele acela mare si alb si pufos care trecea din cand in cand prin fata si pe langa mine. magic. ca si cum, capacul unei cutii muzicale s-ar fi deschis si eu as fi patruns acolo, in visul meu din copilarie pe intuneric, iar in miez as fi descoperit lumina, muzica si cainele alb.

human race pe sub brandenburger tor

si pe Unter den Linden (pe sub teii din centru); seara, sub luminile de la Festival of Lights. teii sunt luminati fantastic in diferite culori: rosu, galben, albastru, violet. de o parte si de alta a drumului suporterii cu surle si trambitze incurajand alergatorii. pe Unter den Linden miroase a balegar din pricina cailor de la trasurile care trec pe acolo sa plimbe turisti. am trecut de doua ori pe acest drum al norocului, a doua oara cu limba scoasa si respiratia sacadata...aproape as fi renuntat, dar de fiecare data se gasea cineva sa ma incurajeze. sa-mi zica ca se poate. ca mai e putin...mi-a placut. mult. sentimentul. si incordarea. si adrenalina. a durat 58 de minute...nike, human race. si nu numai in berlin s-a desfasurat cursa.

all alone

when I am alone in a big room at dawn, when I listen to Lhasa, my mind is dancing. I invent a choreography in my mind and I love being all alone. I taste my freedom. I savor my freedom with my fingertips.
