| Haris Pallas He thought about it six times before he would put it into words. And in the end he never said anything at all, but he did it! Actions are what count. If words are not as strong as steel they take with them every inch of creativity, as they leave the body and clash with the oxygen. At this point they undergo oxidation and rust, and the more we talk about what we want to do, the less we actually do. Maybe that is why. There was much to be said about their common uniqueness. But the most important of all was the transparency of their character… the light it transmitted. Protected-trapped, safe-suffocating, who knows? The dry placenta was full of air, but they could not breathe it. Its protection was both visible and exposing. At this point one realises that they were not there by choice. It was life’s circumstances that had placed them in the dregs of the substance that has driven the human mind crazy over the last years. Through the magic of human nature, they held hands without touching… the one arose from the other, no questions asked… they were made of the same matter but of a different essence. They did not care though, because they had each other… the Golden Courage and Hope for survival were there… together! Harris Pallas  Download CV |  Golden Hope, 2009 |
