A spell .......

Have you ever met some one with uncomparable boldness,with tough determination. His fearlessness and his fanatical enthusiasm amazed you.A person who is just willing to challenge everyone, even the devil, even God. No it isn't megalomania, its only flourishing life and a volcanic, raging outburst of awakening forces.
You always found his soul restless, always full on energy, always onto something. There's just no one to oppose him, no one dare to challenge him.

But... there is something, someone: a girl. A girl who dares to be near him. When she came over and sat down next to him: he seemed to become completely calm all of a sudden, freed of the burden of his alertness and quickness, freed of the weight of his incessant presence of mind, the torment of having constantly to outdo and surpass himself. Sitting next to her, you would have the impression that he'd like never to stand up again. He just don't want to be pulled back from the paradise of this precious effortlessness.
Just like when a trainer touches a restless horse and the animal just calms down, You can see the same effect, same calmness on him when she put her hand on his shoulder. He just look in awe at her simple actions, As simple action as she'd tie her shiny black hair into a ponytail with a rubber band.

He seems to be under some spell, a spell that could finally, though only brief moment of time, bring his ever running thoughts, to a standstill..

A crazy journey

Can it just happen that you found an old shabby book in  the corner of some second hand bookshop, you start reading it, and you just get lost in it. You forgot about everything else, your personal life, you get so engrossed in it, in the words, in the author that you set yourself on a whole new quest.

A quest to find more about the author, to peek into his real life. His writing style, his expressions fascinated you so much that you decide you want to know more. You want to know how this person lives, what are the surroundings which carved such sentiments in him, that he came up with these ideas, these thoughts.

A reader sets himself on this journey. Ok, but now the question comes up why he want to do it? Is he so bored of his own life that he now want to see 'how it would be to live the life of that author?' or is it because he find some resemblance in author's life, some solidarity in  author's  thoughts and he is intrigued to find out the circumstances?. Does he want to observe those circumstances and compare them to his own and see if he would have been in those,' would he have come up with same thoughts, same lines ? '.
