Karma – Haikus & Interludes

My compositions created in 2020 – 2021

A “Project” about our Life, about magical Moments, about Youth and Old Age,
and things between Them.

Thanks to Kristóf Melecsky ( spoken word).

 

 

 

The mind of the sage, being in repose, 
becomes the mirror of the Universe, 
a reflection of all creation.

That fell like cherry blossoms
Is water once again

Goes no one,

in a world of one color
the sound of wind.
