Finding Sanctuary
An observation of our time: war and emigration are the most effective ways to lose weight.
The Lord has a very rich imagination, how to realize our aspirations.
Stop, little pot, stop, I didn’t order it!1
Where am I now in this world?
Davis teaches that change happens to everything living and even non-living as long as the Earth turns. And this is the only thing that can be called stable.
Paradox? Yes, it is. Because in this place there is a real cognitive dissonance. And our only way out is to immediately find new points of support.
My pillars when I fled became Love, Hate, Recalibrating, looking for a New Balance.
I freed myself from the ballast of political correctness and neutrality, and this was my will and choice. But it turned my vision into monochrome. Going forward I had only two poles – black and white.
The war changed me forever.
Germany gave me shelter from the Russian onslaught. The Land of Order and my personal love at first sight. And this was my new paradox.
I teach Order in the Davis system – and this is my new god. And that’s why I know that chaos and disorder are its antipodes. And each system tends to order. And so any chaos is temporary.
I know that my three whales – Love, Work and Order – will lead me to the Harmony that I and we all so desperately need.2
