You're a work of art. Celebrate it.
Gentle breeze
Temple bell
Mighty earthquake
We swallow a cloud
Of incense smoke
It brings tears to our eyes
Tour guide
Spewing out facts
In shrieking voice
Old man calling
His wife back home
Girls taking selfies
We’re all
Lost pilgrims
In search of
What’s already there
Imagine. Just imagine. Imagine you’ve been deaf all your life. Then after a few decades of living in a silent world, you receive an experimental hearing implant. The person who gave it to you insists you go to a symphonic concert together… The concert starts, and you’re immediately taken aback at the array of exotic […]
A few days ago I married the most fascinating person I know. A lot of people came to me after the ceremony and said “I’ve never seen anything like this. I never thought it is possible.” In Poland, humanist, secular, or non-dogmatic wedding ceremonies aren’t really a thing. Most people get married in a church. […]

Take off your shoes
And expectations
Let your hair
And baggage down
The jungle drum will guide you
You and I

Take all your kids back home
Before one cuts off the branch
We are all growing on

Some people might hold a special reverence for their family, nation, or local football team, but to many it’s not even that. Sacredness has little space in the postmodern world that pulled […]
What a coincidence
It must have been
The Cosmos
To send you here
Just when we needed you
I heard you say to me
With awe
And relief
Well
I just–
I just really hope
The Cosmos knows
What They’re doing
Cause I haven’t
The slightest idea
Myself
You know what’s the least cool thing on Earth when you’re a teenager in Poland? Traditional folk music, that’s what. Only village grandmas would perform it when I was a kid, they sang in regional dialect which sounded weird and archaic, and the lyrics never made any sense. A rose grew in my garden, tell […]
I planned to add a few details on an old painting and ended up reworking it completely from scratch. Looks like a little bit too much, but it’s okay, I can always paint it from scratch again another time. Now that I discovered that glitter sticks pretty well to oil paint, my life will never […]
