in your eyes

All my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
the light the heat
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches,
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

HARPER'S ISLAND

I spent few evenings watching CBS horror thriller/mystery show called HAPRER'S ISLAND having been encouraged by some good reviews praising show's climate and screenwriting. The show is definitely difficult to follow during the first few episodes as the tempo and action was rather slow. It got better with 4th or 5th episode when the characters were subjected to some really creepy and violent acts of terror. There were some truly breathtaking twists of action and the writing got better and better with every single episode. Again with the 10th episode or so the show both action- and writing-wise went downward and several times I was almost intimidated by the stupidity of some of the scenes included. All in all I wouldn't consider watching 13 episodes a waste of time as I was really looking forward to seeing who the murderer was and as it turned out the show ended up on a happy note but the amount of corpses left on the island is beyond belief. So go ahead, buy the officially released DVD or watch it here and you probably won't regret it.

GUITAR CIRCLE OF POLAND performance

An unexpected visit from my dear old friend Jacek last week resulted in an unforgettable evening spent in his flat among some of my friends I haven't seen for ages. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Jacek for several years now is taking part in The League of Crafty Guitarists courses for young guitarists organised across Europe. He's a brilliant guitarist and I have had a privilege to listen to him practicing and playing always having goose bumps because of it. On his last visit to Tychy he and his three friends from the same guitar course decided to give a very intimate and private performance to a handful of his friends among whom was I and Caroline. We were invited to participate in this performance on Sunday, August 16th. I was thrilled to be able to talk to Magda, Lemur, Łysy and others as we haven't seen each other for quite some time by then. We sat on the sofas, floor, armchairs and so on and with only small light in the corner of the room the performance commenced with typical League number called Circulation I, four acoustic guitars playing complex, intricate and laborious compositions made a great impression on us - listeners and we enjoyed the concert a great deal. Among other compositions played that evening was boys' own piece of music called "Altana" as well as several other incantations of Circulation and another League number called "Asturias". It was magical, inspired and intriguing. Thank you Jacek and hopefully we'll be able to relive the experience someday in the future.
