I’m walking through the city, holding a lemon tree in my hands. It’s quite large, and I’m holding it up like a banner of joy.

10 minutes from my sofa
Society is every contact between one person and another. All the events, past and future, that come about because two people cross paths.
from What You Are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama
I’m sitting on the sofa in a floral dress, but wrapped in a blanket. I don’t really feel like going out; clouds are enveloping me, even though it’s Resurrection. So I force myself to poke my nose out. I put on my coral jacket. After all, my city is always waiting for me.

On Thursday afternoon, I enter the tenement house at Ruska 46A/101 in Wrocław, intending to visit the BWA Gallery.

Tears well up in my eyes. I feel like I’m hiding somewhere, like a nine-year-old Raj. Meanwhile, I check the map to see where Mapou is, and then Beau-Bassin. I discover that trams run through this city today.

‘I can be with life just as it is.’
I wake up in the morning and peek through the blinds to see what color the sky is today. It’s usually black at 4:30am But on Saturday, it’s the color of denim. Then it dissolves into a bluish gray. And before 10:00, the white blue shimmer.
