Life is a great journey through illusion.
Every moment of this journey is so
intense. Some people play with it, some people
try to learn how to win, some people just pass through it!
I am sinking into every passing moment.
And I am grateful for this illusion which
presents me every second with a new fruit
to taste. Sweetness, sorrow, anger,
happiness, passion and depression. All is
Fullness and Emptiness. Oh, what a taste!
I’m born naked and I will die naked.
All I can take from this great illusion called
Life is my Spirit…..

L’Afghanistan fut le Vietnam de l’empire Soviètique. Et l’U.R.S.S. s’est d’autant plus enlisée dans ce bourbier que la C.I.A., jamais en reste, a attisé cette guerilla en appuyant les fractions islamiques au nom d’un anticommunisme de bon aloi…
