words



Dear all.
Here a few words.
A few first impressions, and so much more underneath the surface.


With Love.
Zelda.


The sun is filling our irises, she is so bright.
And sand colors cover the streets, with a ever so bright blue sky.
It seems strange to be walking on this historical dust.
This story that is grown into peoples minds.
The history and the division.
Too strong
Too sad
Too much of a catch 22.
People here look you straight into the eye,
instead of the ground.
Straight into the face.
It is important.


And tonight I dreamt of a friend that died.
I woke up crying. And remembering the sentence I said,
She was one of us, who we lost. A Life.


It makes me realize more.
With also being here
How fragile our strings are
how important our connection is
Together we are strong
together we need safety from and for the world.
And with we
I mean every single human being,
every age, living now.
We are all dependent on one another
each others patience and mere existence.


The academy is wonderful an everybody is so friendly.
We have been here for two days, and three nights.
And it seems like so much longer.
It is powerful.
