Cloister (28th of July 2009)
"Can you see this wealth? This rock here and the sea, the plants growing from the rock... Can you recognize this wealth? This place where we are now..." He just stares. Doesn't know what to say knowing that the rock and the sea will be there for a million years, and that the two of them have... perhaps thirty more? Still, he says: "Well, yes. You are right."
As if all this happened to someone else. Your life, and yet, so foreign. There were some places, some time, the pieces of memory no livelier than a photo. And then one day you wake up with some word. Cloister. And you wonder what that is. And you find out that you've already been there. In those times that seem as someone's elses. You unearth the cloisters from those times of yours where they ment nothing to you and you polish them for this time.

Their motion was extremely unpredictable since they developed a flying technique that enabled them to spend more than a half of the time gliding vibrantly or even falling, and in those moments when they used the strength of their wings, they could abruptly change the direction, using their forked tails to revolve around their axes in all sorts of ways. It looked as if they were particularly upset about something, although their energetically wasteful and chaotic motion could also be a habit of this tireless specie."
