You’re my flame…
in the pitch-dark monster lair
and beacon in eery glares of ugly nights.
You are never away…
You are always in the array
of blooming next day.
Sometimes I do prey
other flames gleaming
But I am just dreaming
at the same organ of fire…

Then you cannot escape it.
It coils around you deeper and deeper
and burns with words
Unwritten.

A piece of magic by Sam Chivers.
Being an entrepreneur I need to be happy in order to find creative ways of fitting a giraffe in a fridge* every day.
To be happy, I need my space and time for exercising – at least one hour per day.
The castle of sport is where I live, allegorically. As I have imagination and means for sport-(fortify)ing.
When the sun shines in the sky and in my schedule, I take my bike and head up north to the park, hence my Biking Else Matters stories.
Sometimes I get tired, really tired, but this is the only way I am able to smile for approximately 17 hours a day. And my biking trips come with a lot of perks…Always finding something real and beautiful.
Sunset on the Herăstrău lake:

To be continued.
Dba = doing business as – used before the name of a business to indicate that a person or company with a different name is doing business under this name:

I bid you a beautiful (rainy) day teeming with happy events!
