Home and away



Area 58 , Elderstreet, 0870 Alice springs. Somewhere in Australia, in a little donga , somebody is typing on his computer. His head filled with dreams, loved ones and work.

His tiny wall start to fill up with all the plans that still have to be realized. Drawings , designs, words, administration.  the sound of his keyboard is the only sound that disturb the silence of an early morning. Only living in his mind, he just try to organize his thoughts and plans
.
Depending on patience and more patience, to realize those plans and dreams in fiscally reality.  The sound of the boiling billy distracts him. He pours himself another coffee full of caffeine. Another sigi is light up. And the only sound of the keyboard starts to break the silence again.

16000 k`s away his mind floats while his body tries to conquer his jet lag and Australian bacterias . Trying to get his body back in working mode. Hauling chains , building walkways , stairs and platforms. He feels his body already protesting against the long hours and heavy duty. But his mind oblige him to remember , it`s all for a good cause. Losing the smuggled fat, and to realize  the projects that`s hanging on his tiny wall. But in those early hours it`s hard to remember that goal.

Knowing that the next months will be a time of artificial contact. A time of living in a future time. He knows while writing , the sound of his words doesn`t sound happy. While his heart is filled with joy. It`s a mixed feeling. A feeling caused by impatience and the absence of loved ones.


Suddenly he wakes up of his melancholic thoughts. a Bell sounds on his computer screen. A skype call that makes it all worth. A smile appears on his face. A rainbow develops around his heart.  And he knows that one day it will be all worthed .
