Escape
Irritationen mot andra människor som inte kan mötas halvvägs, som lever sina liv bakfulla och inte vill bjuda till. Hela misären i att människor bara håller sig till ytliga attribut.
Frustrationen över att ingen verkar se hur grötigt hålet i mig är, frustrationen över att inte vara hemmahörande... någonstans. Tanken på årets escape, bara ett par dagars tramping.
Det kommer nog snart.
”In one moment, I understood more clearly than ever, why we so special, why we kept our secret. Because if we didn’t, sooner or later, they’d turn it into this. Cancers, parasites, eating up the whole fucking world.”

Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild." - Alexander Supertramp May 1992
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; / There is a rapture on the lonely shore; / There is society, where none intrudes, / By the deep sea, and music in its roar; / I love not man the less, but Nature more..."
"If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed."
"The freedom and simple beauty is too good to pass up..."
