I remember a clear field in the country side. There were a few trees scattered here and there but most of what I could see was clear. It was a safe place to think and to understand as the light was strong and calm. There, the conversation expanded easily and thoughts and reflections were contagious and travelled back and forth freely.

There was however another place, nearby with a more complex structure. It was a quite inaccessible and distant place, much more changeable and unstable. Difficult to approach, difficult to discern.

If you tried to break through, you felt you had to exercise violence in order to be there, in order to understand where you were, in order to see, in order to understand. Violence was necessary in order to not to loose yourself. It is difficult to think. It is difficult to be there. It is easy to get killed by the space.
