“I hope there is someone…” Antony sings in I’m a bird now
In a week I believe I’ll be in complete exhale after listening to this incredibly but so positively disturbing performer that simple embraces my senses with such deep feelings that I will never be able to express, just fell.

23 hours ago, I took all I had and used the word in my “fathertongue” that simple resumes the most amazing feelings I can evolve for someone. How heavy words can become in our existence, but how heavy can we make this words appear for someone else as saying and using it means so much to us (cause I barely used it in my life, at least with this meaning)…

For years I’ve used written words to communicate, as I thought it was a correct way of functioning, so pure as my existence…but a huge friend confronted me with the fact of all this being thought and weightned…how un-spontaneous it can be…how rational and un-emotional, and now her words make so much sense to me. On the other side, this is a way of throwing out in the world all I feel in a subjective way…all I am feeling, trying to reach out persons or person…
I wanted to publish a specific picture I composed, but I reserve it for our privacy, cause I made it for you…so here stays a picture from a photographer I recently got to know and recommend to visit his site http://www.jonasbendiksen.com/ accompanied by the song of Antony and The Johnsons: Man is the baby (the white spots on the picture are butterflies).

I.M.H.

P.S. – And Killa, let me dedicate you Bird Girl performed by Antony and The Johnsons, just because I feel like. I dedicate it to you and to me too.

"The Rapture" is performed by Antony and The Johnsons in the album Shirley and Dolly Collings
