Sky, memory

Memory of a sky,
other planet's sky
with flowers and rivers
impurity included,
chases me.

A memory of sky,
pure and clear
with stars shining, twinkling,
planets stalking them,
haunts me.

A sky of memory,
blue and vivid
with clouds dancing
and birds balancing,
kills me.

Bern runs

Bern is an essential Swiss city: expensive not only for Eastern Europeans, kind of polished, kind of not boring, kind of full of relaxed locals, svimming in the fast white-green waters of Aare river.

Bern turns out to be a kind of depressive city for me, still have to understand why. Both times I visited it, it made this impression. And it should not, so many young people, students, around, so lively and lovely, no irony. Must be just so different from my Eastern Europe experience that it is unfathomable?

To add some novelty and try to break the depressive air, this time I gave myself experience of running along the river, between two pedestrian bridges, from one side of the city to the other. Highly recommendable!

It gives you an excellent view to the city. The red one was 12 km of pure pleasure, the blue one a bit shorter, 10km. Make certain you find the exit to the river and just enjoy! The path is good and you can divert to the city at many interesting places, if you feel so.

Walking the streets and seeing the views later, with them already in your legs, gives another perspective.
