A streak of grey brings an old boy to his spring day! How rattling that phrase sounds.

As a child, one is brave enough to run around in garages, watch horror films and eat ice cream in bad weather. But what children don't realise is that the main characteristic of their bravery is the wonderful superpower of being able to live through all the emotions and feelings. Funny - they laugh, sad - they are sad, simple, but as we get older, simplicity fades and we cork our feelings into the thirtieth realm

How many books, songs and films have been made where a man is like a looking glass - living in reverse. Hates, but pretends to love. He gets angry while pretending to be a benefactor. Hurts, but broadcasts indifference. Loves, but shows indifference. But of course, this is not about us).

When it's midnight of life and midday doesn't cast a shadow, and it's no longer interesting to wonder "for whom do the bells ring?", at that moment there's hope that a portal from the looking glass will open.

You certainly stand a good chance of being branded the town madman, but you'll regain the wonderful superpower of being able to relive all feelings anew.
