I give up. Back to square one. (again).

 

I'm beginning to think this 'square one' is the destination maybe...

:) of course it is! the end and the beginning are

one. a moebius leaf, actually... there is only

one side. and it is all ours. so, as our old

chinese friend said, "to travel well is not less

important then to arrive".

 

hehehe and "giving up" is a hell of a way to travel well...
