Blog à la Jozef M. Svajl. Call me a maker's idiom: I'm with you in Rockland. The heart and head, while clashing by their very nature, are not enemies. Rather, they are two forces in the human psyche.

It is an example of Umberto Eco’s wittily crafted dialogue:. 8220;Which number is greater, that of the living or of the dead? 8220;Which is stronger, death or life? 8220;A...

I so wanted to change the road. But somehow we both resisted change. Somehow we were both too strong. And yet we both winded away, unsure of where we head. And it’s like we’re both confused as to who is who. As if, late in the night, you can’t tell the runner from the road – the walker from the walked. From → Music. Leave one →. Live W...
