/// praha

time stretches to eternity here. i was really confused if i had breakfast at cafe louvre today... or was it a day ago? while walking down the streets, i catch myself thinking: where am i again? brussels? paris? and then, it comes back. i'm in prague.

everything reminds me of mordor: a fairy-tale mordor where a good sauron of white light reigns. flowing robes, melancholy statues, menacing spires, a long white hall, a pink and gold sunset. an old square with ten thousand competing beautiful details all at once. 

i ate my way across this golden city: breakfast at cafe louvre. pancakes with hot raspberries and sour cream, omelettes and summer iced tea. a coke and a kellogs bar while standing outside the cathedral (a.k.a. gondor), lunch at bar bar. a beef skewer with potatoes and cream, coke, iced tea. dinner at louvre again: chicken breast with ham, potatoes and tomatoes. two summer iced teas, strawberries and lime ice cream. mmm

and becoming melancholy when i saw a creditrans card. it's only been a day, but it feels like something that happened so far away. to realize only when you're away: it has been home. 

to cross white bridges with you. to sit in parks and wallow in the sun. the third floor of the library. to ride the metro to casco viejo, the anticipation. to feel so much, and not have enough (time?) (courage?) to write. to make it last forever. is it possible?  

always towards the end. to let myself go and stop making sense of everything. 

you are my big, big prize at the end of the struggle! who knew?

to go home and stand still and breathe. 

to see you again! to feel, to seize, to let it flow.
