You’re trapped in one single period of time

You’re trapped in one single period of time

You’re trapped in one single period of time and, at any moment, in one single place ; but, still, you can imagine rather precisely what happened long before this moment you’re always trapped in, and what’s coming next in a very long future starting from this same single moment, you can also imagine precisely enough any other place  than this one you can never escape from, at any moment : this is a good summary of the human condition.

My thoughts reached to that point in a playground at the end of the first day I spent in Tel Aviv, walking through the city, in the very good company of Sacha, a guy from Chile, traveling for almost ten years in the area, seven, so to speak Central Europe and Middle East — anywhere but Chile actually ; and « Voïtchka », the Czeck student in architecture (the Archiczeck ?).
