"Blind people don't have an outside. They only have an inside."
"What really makes us is beyond grasping, it is way beyond knowing. We give in to love, because it gives us some sense of what is unknowable. Nothing else matters. Not at the end." - David Hare

Imaginary Houses
We were walking through our talking when we came upon our beautiful house. Even when we were walking in our house, we were still walking through our talking.

Night Vision
"Mama, it's to dark in the room."
"You don't need much light, Milla. When you sleep, your eyes are closed anyway."
"Yeah, we don't see anything at night except our dreams. Mama, how do people see their dreams if their eyes are closed?"

Moments
One day we bought chocolate and on the chocolate wrapper there was writing. It said enjoy the small things in life. I thought it was about bugs and other small creatures. But daddy told me it meant enjoy the small moments in life. I agreed. And during the day I got to see all the different moments that happened. In the morning I was happy because we were painting eggs. Then I was grumpy, because I like to be bossy and I wanted the eggs to be on the coffee table and my mom wanted them in the kitchen. Then in the afternoon we sat at the window and watched the sea. It was beautiful and relaxing. I could imagine what the weather was outside. I could feel what it felt like. It was like summer night, kind of windy, but warm. Then, at 11 o'clock, we went to church. It was squashy. But the music was beautiful. It was Easter. I was happy.
Life isn't one whole big moment. Many different things can happen in a day. You can be happy all day, or be grumpy or sad. But even if you are sad, there would be all these small moments that you could enjoy.

Sonata for Rain and Piano
We met a girl today. Two years old, blue eyes, red hooded raincoat. “Hi” - I said. She stared at me for a while, then asked: “Is it me?” “Yes, it’s definitely you.” - I said. “That rain is awesome” - the girl said and started singing and dancing, clapping her little hands. I smiled. Her mother smiled. My daughter smiled.
Somewhere in the recesses of the universe God smiled too. And the rain kept falling.

Practical Magic
Днес практикувахме интересни магии: превърнахме тревата в трева, дървото в дърво, къщата в къща. Всички магии проработиха безотказно. Успешен ден за практическата магия.

Семиотика за начинаещи
Мамо, Господ можел ли е да говори преди тези двама братя да измислят азбуката?

За произхода на света
Облакът е пара. Парата е вода. Водата е от Господ. А Господ просто е дошъл. От въздуха.

***
- Ще дадем на кучетата да ядат и от дървото на езика. Те ще проговорят нашия език, а ние - техния.

Новата Ева
- Мамо, защо кучетата не се срамуват да се разхождат голи?
- Защото не знаят, че са голи. Не са яли от дървото на познанието, чедо.
- Утре ще им дам да си хапнат тогава. Ще отидем в Докторската градина и ще предложим една ябълка на Марта.

За безкрайността на котките
- Мамо, нали знаеш, че котката е безкрайна?
- Как така е безкрайна, дъще?
- Ами ако вземеш едно малко коте, то пораства и си ражда друго коте, то също пораства и така до безкрай...
Човекоядците и Нищото
- Мамо, какво ще стане, ако двама души се глътнат взаимно?
- Не знам, Мила. Какво ще стане? Може би гещалт?
- Не, мамо, ще стане едно Нищо...

Children and Philosophy
I have a very tough six years old teacher at home. Yesterday I didn’t pass her test, so she gave me a B+.
“Stop laughing” – she said. “I will test you again tomorrow. If you still don’t know the answers, I will give you an F. “
There they are, the questions I failed to answer:
How was God created?
Do numbers have and end?
How many years do dinosaurs live?
How does a bean grow?
How do people exist?
When I grow up will you get small?
