Hello, thank you for your letter and attention! And also for the news. I wrote two sad poems in succession here, although I don’t seem to feel too bad, but you understand that life outside is better, and used to live a «dreamy life» with a predominance of computer reality. Also, in the Buddhist description of feelings, in addition to the well-known five, there is a sixth, which is called ordinary consciousness. Seventh is habits. And the eighth is the garden into which the previous seven senses throw their seeds. From this garden come dreams. I remember in an old game there was a cutscene. When the player forgets about the main quest — saving his native village, time is limited and half of it is up. Then in a dream, a shaman from his «homeland» comes to the player, to the character :), and says «My garden is beautiful, Chosen One. What about yours?» You can share these verses if you wish. Perhaps they will decorate someone’s garden :).

Thank you for your attention and take care of yourself!

With scorn sifted through a sieve,

deeply and for good,

No, forever shut tight

the window to a world of dreams—

the distant lands I’d wished for,

the things I never had.

All that remains in my garden

is suffering and death.

«While the soul is alive,

don’t abandon your attempts!»

The words of others

will join in a bright scroll.

But the cry: «Never

will I meet with you,

words can’t express it!»

Words can’t express it.
