A bicycle beside a wooden house under construction, seen past a seated person’s legs, with Russian text about choosing a road overlaid above.

A pause at the fork — a literal and poetic image of choosing one’s own path.

🚩 Two months later, I found myself back on the personality market…

This gigantic apple, this gigantic mother’s breast… Ah, greed. There’s an ocean of stimuli here for every possible taste…

The will to power makes your head spin, and hundreds of stimuli simply come at you like a wave and knock you off the road! Sex, alcohol, internet chewing gum, gossip, information noise… Everyone gets their own sweet little bone tempting them to leave the path 🐶

“Is there a briar patch?”

“Yes. The briar patch is our fear and greed. Confronting fear, weaknesses, and neediness by choosing our own thoughts is the way out.”

Choose the thoughts you need! ❗❗❗

Remember summer, remember the stars, remember the road, the promises, the thoughts…

With every autumn, Donkey understands a little more clearly that the carrot really doesn’t taste that good after all.

Yes, The Tempest (Shakespeare) is still ahead, but I can feel an aircraft carrier growing out of my wooden raft! And maybe I would have sunk again (God, how deep I used to go — bathyscaphe 😜),
but luckily, now I have a small Family! 🦊🔴🔵🟡✈
