...I will lie down on the wet grass and look at the swaying tops of the thirsty young birch trees...
And early on a beautiful bright spring morning, I go outside and take a deep breath of the birth of a spring day...

Sometimes, thankfully very rarely, I can't get back to sleep after I've woken up in the middle of the night. Then I get up and go to the kitchen, get some hot water from the thermos and pour it into the leftover tea from the evening before.

So getting lost in the pale light is very easy when you stroll around for a few hours...
