"Just finished the first essay, and I have to say, this guy really knows how to build an argument. As stated in the introduction, Josef doesn’t have the beautifully crafted sentences that Gilbert or Clive do (if you know, you know), but his ability to make you think and ponder seemingly ordinary things is unmatched. I can’t wait to get through the whole book and write a proper review." — Jan 01, 2026 03:13PM

“Am legat copacii la ochi
Cu-o basma verde
Şi le-am spus să mă găsească.
Şi copacii m-au găsit imediat
Cu un hohot de frunze.
Am legat păsările la ochi
Cu-o basma de nori
Şi le-am spus să mă găsească.
Şi păsările m-au găsit
Cu un cântec.
Am legat tristeţea la ochi
Cu un zâmbet,
Şi tristeţea m-a găsit a doua zi
Într-o iubire.
Am legat soarele la ochi
Cu nopţile mele
Şi i-am spus să mă găsească.
Eşti acolo, a zis soarele,
După timpul acela,
Nu te mai ascunde.
Nu te mai ascunde,
Mi-au zis toate lucrurile
Şi toate sentimentele
Pe care am încercat să le leg
La ochi.”

“I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.”

“The simple fact is, you are not the point of your life. You are not the star of your show. If you live for yourself, your own comfort, your own glory, your own fame, you will miss out on your very purpose. God created you to bring glory to him.”
