Easter Island
The region is full of giant volcanic rock statues called “moai”. The people of the island were called Rapa Nui and no one knows where they came from and where they vanished. The reason for the carving remains as unknown as the islanders. There have been a lot of research in finding out the stories behind these giant structures but there hasn’t been any concrete answer to this question.
I told myself: ‘I am surrounded by unknown things.’ I imagined man without ears, suspecting the existence of sound as we suspect so many hidden mysteries, man noting acoustic phenomena whose nature and provenance he cannot determine. And I grew afraid of everything around me – afraid of the air, afraid of the night. From the moment we can know almost nothing, and from the moment that everything is limitless, what remains? Does emptiness actually not exist? What does exist in this apparent emptiness?

In a tiny corner of western Poland a forest of about 400 pine trees grow with a 90 degree bend at the base of their trunks - all bent northward. Surrounded by a larger forest of straight growing pine trees this collection of curved trees, or “Crooked Forest,” is a mystery.

Being a somewhat dark person myself, I fell in love with the idea that the mysterious thing you look for your whole life will eventually eat you alive.

I’ve thought a lot about it and there are no mysteries, just comedies that people mistake for tragedies. I listen to what my teachers say and it strikes me that they don’t even believe what they’re saying. I shot a squirrel once but it just looked at me like, get a bigger gun. There’s a storm moving in over the middle school. I clap the erasers, whack whack whack. Wouldn’t it be funny if all that chalk dust gave me cancer.
Twenty Lines, Unremitting Failure (excerpt)
A monastery in Bhutan that is closed to all outsiders without special permission.
It’s quite magnificent with its old world charm. I wish I could see the inside. X D
It also makes me wonder…how many more hidden places are there in the world? I want to see them ALL!
"I took my time, trying to find the right words. I always feel as if I’m struggling to become someone else. As if I’m trying to find a new place, grab hold of a new life, a new personality. I suppose it’s part of growing up, yet it’s also an attempt to re-invent myself. By becoming a different me, I could free myself of everything. I seriously believed I could escape myself - as long as I made the effort. But I always hit a dead end. No matter where I go, I still end up me. What’s missing never changes. The scenery may change, but I’m still the same old incomplete person. The same missing elements torture me with a hunger that I can never satisfy. I think that lack itself is as close as I’ll come to defining myself."
