White cactus family - Cactus Garden - Lanzarote Island

Loving someone who doesn't love you back is like hugging a cactus. The tighter you hold on, the more it's going to hurt.

In Cactus Garden - Lanzarote Island

A cactus is a plant that does not need chemistry, nutrients, or daily watering. Just him one person who watering it every time. In a sense, the same is in love...
They say that chemistry is needed but true love is not just a taking care of the other person, but espect and selflessness. You have to take care of her and show her his feelings, otherwise wither.

Cactus Garden - Lanzarote Island

If God would choose a plant to represent him, I think he would choose of all plants the cactus. The cactus has all the blessings he tried, but mostly failed, to give to man. Let me tell you how. It has humility, but it is not submissive. It grows where no other plant will grow. It does not complain when the sun bakes it back or the wing tears it from the cliff or drowns it in the dry sand of the desert or when it is thirsty. When the rain comes it stores water for the hard times to come. In good times and in bad it will still flower. It protects itself against danger, but it harms no other plant. It adapts perfectly to almost any environment. It has patience and enjoys solitude. In Mexico there is a cactus that flowers only once every hundred years and at night. This is saintliness of an extraordinary kind, would you not agree? The cactus has properties that heal the wounds of men and from it come potions that can make man touch the face of God or stare into the mouth of hell. It is the plant of patience and solitude, love and madness, ugliness and beauty, toughness and gentleness. Of all plants, surely God made the cactus in his own image?

Zombie Walk - Warsaw

Sweet taste of blood
faint odor
life, which escaped
teeth are covered with red
last drop
saturation smile.

You know
someone will cry over the body
tears of despair
when the morning to discover
another murder
and bloodless corpse.

Again night
and hunger
in the dark streets of the city
already feel the smell
another victim.

Lamplighter - Zagreb

The fifth planet was very strange. It was the smallest of all. There was just enough room on it for a street lamp and a lamplighter.
When he arrived on the planet he respectfully saluted the lamplighter.
-Good morning. Why have you just put out your lamp?
-Those are the orders, replied the lamplighter. -Good morning.
-What are the orders?
-The orders are that I put out my lamp. Good evening.
And he lighted his lamp again.
-But why have you just lighted it again?
-Those are the orders - replied the lamplighter.
-I do not understand, said the little prince.
-There is nothing to understand - said the lamplighter. -Orders are orders. Good morning.
And he put out his lamp.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Dusk, is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel, I remember wondering to be always together, yet forever apart?
