It’s the same from all angles.

“What is it?”

It’s not static.

“Is it moving?”

A bubble.

“Can I go inside?”

Now. Go. “Will you know when I want to leave?”

It was like a hug “Let me go! “ It’s cozy inside.

“Mom, why is it moving?”

I can see myself.

“But, I want to stay!”

You can.

“It’s you. It’s us”

3.2 LONG BRISTOL

and a Foundation of Ideas for the City Where I Live

12.12.2018

Long Bristol is a city extend in time, In our minds.

It’s dark until an idea comes.

A ceremony.

It has always existed, it will always exist.

You just have to dig deep down.

Long Bristol doesn’t have a physical form.

- a reality built in our unconscious.

Bristol and Long Bristol co-exist in the same territory. The same geography.

They reciprocate.

When the gates open, both these cities combine.

“I can ear the echo of the gates: ‘Qrrrr, Qrrrrr’, and the waters from those two cities mixing in perfect harmony.

They dance with each other.

Up, at the top of the island, something moves every now and then.

Never static.

Like an idea.

Like our ideas.

So beautiful, the ideas for the city where we live.
