Monotony is not a story; it is a pause...

...a pause until something happens be it falling in love or out of it. That is the action and nothing more or less than a mere act of transition.

Being in love on the other hand…

…being in love is a state of mind. It is more passive than a courageous and adventurous mind would dare to admit. But static is so much more.

It is hard to stop.

It is.

You have to keep yourself balanced and there is your partner rocking the boat with its waves: the sea; and there is the wind who keeps you dynamic and there is the scorching sun and the land and the fishes and them clouds and so much more.

...And you keep on standing there watching.

"Omul care venise la malul mării ca să scrie nu avu timp să audă răspunsul. Un val neașteptat de mare se abătu peste premonitoriul de unde contempla mareea secolului, îl înăbuși sub forța sa narativă si-l trase apoi spre larg, spre ceea ce Bernard considerase dintotdeauna ca fiind o imensă rezervă de ficțiune."

Some things follow a much simpler pattern than we could ever imagine at first sight

We may be too blind to see... but sometimes we are our own problems

We create beauty and limits all the same...

...but once we notice that...

...everything seems easier.

Just how far into her childhood was she able to see?

As she looked back, not listening but deep in thought, she searched for answers.

"The golden great wave"

The becoming

Sometimes we feel those past experiences pressing hard on our present.

But let me tell you my darling... there is no real substance over there... no physical form... no flesh... no coldness...

But we give our fear the eyes to stare right through our souls... we give it the lungs to breathe and the mouth to scream them out; we give them the smile that ridicules us and the hand that holds us tight... that crumbles us between its fingers... we give it a name and give it an identity and suddenly it is not just paranoia... it is not just past... it is our present... it is our world... it is us...

Then it all becomes a monster and us with it.
