9th august 2007 - ruse

"It is to be seen particularly with the use of language that the words are not just the thoughts, but also the signs too, and that we need the signs not only to make our opinions known to others, but also to help our thoughts themselves."
Leibniz

another boiling hot day in ruse. since we are at the end of our water and diesel, as well as our food, we spend the whole day bunkering and shopping, dragging things from here to there and talking pretty strange rubbish. it’s muggy and sweat is running in rivers. I can’t concentrate on reading, not even on watching films, strum mindlessly and halfheartedly on the guitar and doubt ever being able to achieve anything meaningful again.

tomorrow our journey continues, I can’t wait to be back in the shadows of the carpathian mountains again.
