The sea itself
The mere immersing
of the toes of one’s feet
The mere immersing

Mini-human life
Sisyphus horizontal
Is already a prologue
Into a verse

Daniela helped me learn basic Bulgarian so I could talk to family members. I’d highly recommend her classes and tutoring to anyone interested in learning the Bulgarian language or about Bulgarian culture.

I am […]

An Impetus

Embrace me, fire. Allow my bare feet to go over the glowing embers unburned and triumphant. Help me, Lord. Give me courage and daring. I make one step… then another…For my soles which are not used to (or rather, have lost the habit of) treading barefoot, even the grass is merciless. I can hear the […]
