Who has not witnessed that scene? Why do you wear fear? And upon fear, you wear another fear? Why do you hide in custom and tradition? Why do you age while in the prime of life? Free yourselves and cast off your fear! Free yourselves and break out of habit and routine! Have you not witnessed? The pit; the distant memory—in it are two bodies: a knife and a watermelon. Childhood and adolescence. Maturity, free blood, shine, and shadows. The pit on the shore. Where the orange one broke its eggshell and emerged, towering, dyed with the color of the two blended bodies and stretched to the sand, stretched to the sea, and stretched to the sky....

Everything is orange
Everything...
Except for those who still wear their fear, hide in their habits, and drown in their repetition, while they claim purity and holiness.
