So, here you are, too foreign for home, too foreign for here. Never enough for both.

"The agony of breaking through personal limitations is the agony of spiritual growth. Art, literature, myth and cult, philosophy, and ascetic disciplines are instruments to help the individual past his limiting horizons into spheres of ever-expanding realization. As he crosses threshold after threshold, conquering dragon after dragon, the stature of the divinity that he summons to his highest wish increases, until it subsumes the cosmos.. Finally, the mind breaks the bounding sphere of the cosmos to a realization transcending all experiences of form—all symbolizations, all divinities: a realization of the ineluctable void."

Prison Tattoo “Не буди” (Russian) or Don’t Wake Me Up

In Russia “don’t wake me up” on eyes means that the owner of this tattoo is so dangerous that he shouldn’t be waken up or even touched by other inmates. To make this tattoo without hurting the eye two spoons are placed under the eyelids.
