   About Caspian Hat Dance
---> to main website

"You arrive just as the sun is setting and the landscape is getting dark. You wonder briefly how you ended up at a remote village wedding in Rumainia but can't seem to remember. Half the guests are crying, half are laughing, most are drinking and every last one is dancing. The bride is delirious, the moon is gently relentless and the tambourines are spinning you around and around. The musicians play for hours on end, stopping occasionally only to suck on a bleeding finger. At first it looks like chaos. ..r inspection, it's irresponsibly happy, carefully painful music. ..r inspection yet, it's really just chaos. You are vaguely aware of someone's legs getting tired, and it doesn't seem to matter any more that your memories are sad. Just before you pass out under a tree, you hear yourself mutter a phrase you never heard before: 'Caspian Hat Dance' ..."

once upon the time poor fishermen caught gold fish and wanted to have the biggest lake on the world...he called it caspian as drunk cheese/word games which cant be explained/ but it was so big that all humans tought that is sea...fishermen got so angry and disappointed that he throw his hat on the ground and start running around the lake...people again misunderstood him and thought hes dancing...and this is where it all began :)

Un mio breve pensiero d'inizio estate...


Se non hai un amore non capisci il senso dell'amore.

Se non hai un libro non capisci il senso della lettura.

Se non hai una matita non capisci il senso del disegno.

Se non hai uno strumento non capisci il senso della musica.

Ma tutti abbiamo un cielo

per capire il senso

dell'infinito

dell'infini

dell'inf

dell'in
