A letter from Switzerland
What a strange and lovely feeling it is – being at home. I don’t feel myself so much at home these last years. I write all sort of “homeless” poetry and suddenly I’m at home in a country I spent almost half a year less than I’ve spent in Moscow so far.
It’s not that I feel something to a particular building (say, UNIL or la Bourdonnette) – it’s just the general ambition. The trains are what they I supposed to be, the towns are what I expect them to be. I can’t say I remember every street it just that every street seem familiar and moreover – it seems unusually at its own place.
Maybe this is because of the Lake and the mountains. It feels like the Lake (le Lac Leman) is the heat and the starting point of life. Say whatever your want about the Northern Africa or Middle East – I know that the Life and Love and Tenderness came out of the Lac Leman. And know what? I’m happy!
One more strange though lovely feeling is the one like I’ve never left Switzerland. And same time I still have all the experience I’ve got for these 5 years – and I’m highly aware of it and it still doesn’t contradict the fact I’ve never left this land. I’ve felt it most remarkably when coming along to Lausanne for dancing. I’ve been in the same hall I’ve done my first skip-change of step. It was the same Robert teaching. There were mostly the same people at the class. And there was absolutely same me – despite the fact that I’m a fully certified SCD teacher myself.
I’ve told something already (and maybe not only once or even twice) about parallel realities like Moscow, Kiev, Scotland, Switzerland. So now just that the file Me_in_Swizerland.exe that used to be archived for 5 years was suddenly un-zipped regardless to what other files have been uploaded.
And tomorrow Ilya is coming so I’m looking forward for even more unusual experience of bringing someone from my one reality (Moscow) to the other reality (Switzerland). So we’ll see what happen when you mix 2 of them together =) Must be something exciting, I’m more than sure!
