Noon- lowered sun burns into boiling brain..
Suffocated, breathing goes slow.
Inhalation draws threaten with death
and pangs of squeezing heat silence the dumb beat.Black wind mounts to my sweltering brain
and hastens to smoke all rising flame.
Waters run lest they would be swept in vain
leaving us with muddy hopes of the swamp.
Predilection goes up with torrid flood

 So vile, faces threatened the child

 And oblivious of flow and tide,

<p ALIGN="left"><strong>Black vision and gloom are neither desirable nor recommended, on the contrary they‘re often stigmatized and condemned for pessimism. Yet, one can not avoid perceiving the beauty that emanates from negative pondering over apparently placid states of the mind. But then, isn’t “la joie de vivre”  -as an ever lasting pursued aspiration- defined in total opposition to this sordid state i.e. black vision?</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong>  	 I once ventured to this realm -so much avoided for fear of being marked as nihilistic, pessimistic, gloomy and desperate.</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong>In complete clearness of vision, I tried to enter those realms so dark and there I found and reflected on Impressions I’d like to share. </strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong>Most of these reflections actually go back to the time I was still a student, others were considered when I graduated and later when I idled -for about three years. I long hesitated to publish them. Now I just can’t let the opportunity slip away again.</strong></p>
<p ALIGN="left"><strong><br />

<p ALIGN="center"><strong>You will read them  periodically on the” Introspection” posts.</strong></p>
