It’s a simple story. It is difficult not to start flickering inside the bustle of the city. Therefore, I need to slow down sometimes. Then I can see more details around and remember that I literally live in the world. This world is not just about countries, ideas, ambitions and the resources to make them happen. It is substantial, packed with life as much as possible, and can exist quite peacefully without me. And I hang out somewhere in the middle between algae, bacteria and constellations, galaxies. This feeling of being inscribed in the big world helps to get used to many things and not to turn up nose too high.

A drop of water has a convex shape, so it works like a lens and if a laser beam directed at it, then all its contents open up in the projection.
