"They say: the past does not exist, only the present is important. And what about the past that doesn't want to go away? And what happens to love when it leaves us?
I was told that in Africa they were not interested in the past at all. Nor from the future. They don't make any plans, tomorrow doesn't exist, only the present is important. The day there was very long, the weather was slow. In the morning, your only concern is to open all your senses and be ready to meet the moments that await you. Young children are like that - they wake up happy. " from "Inverted Constellations"
