Jemal Karchkhazdze, Igi

«There is something in everything. Everything is something. The earth is the sky, but it has the form of the earth, the leaf is the tree, but it has the form of a leaf, the darkness of the night is the eye of the sky, but it has the form of darkness. Everything is something; and when Igi sees something, then Igi is everything. Igi is the sea and the sky, the hunter and the hunted. Igi is in everything and everything is in Igi»

🌺🫀🌺 Sometimes sadness gnaws in our bones like a wild animal. In the prehistoric era Igi learnt to ask sadness what it wanted from him. Igi had to follow a hard and painful way of solitude in order to gain free will and find the essence of being.

Someone brought me this book from Georgia. I told this someone my idea that I have more than one heart, that flowers blossom in my chest like hearts or that my heart flourishes through many hearts. A flower can be just a flower, but a flower can also be everything. If you know what I mean. 🌺🫀🌺
