Woke up too early, a June morning, but it was too late to go back to sleep. I must go to the green dotted with memories. Memories follow me with their eyes. They are invisible, completely blending into the background, like a group of chameleon lizards. They were so close that I heard their breath through the deafening cries of the birds.

I heard the stones we threw falling, as transparent as glass, passing through the deep valleys of the years, the momentary confused movements, shouting, flying from treetop to treetop, silent in the thinner air than now, like swallows flying from the top of the mountain. Sliding towards the mountain tops until they follow the boundaries of existence to the ultimate plateau where we all fall as glassy transparent to the depths of just ourselves

Where others see only failure, full of confidence People see success: where others only see clouds and rain, he sees bright sunshine.
