Thank You For Coming Unpainted

I usually hear in the grocery: "Package? …..thanks for your purchase …..come to us again …. we will be glad to see you again"

And here: "Thank you for coming unpainted" and a smile.

No, such a relationship has developed with me and with this cashier. Accidentally.

Usually, in your silence, you put milk, cottage cheese, sour cream, fruits and halva in a basket with a stable morning ritual. Necessarily, halva. Without it, my morning coffee doesn't create that mood. And always with a slice of grapefruit. And look out the window. Cars back and forth.

If you look at one point, without being distracted by their movement, then you can get to an amazing illusion: flickering of lights in a single rhythm and a colored blurry path from hurrying metal boxes.

If dance is on, then everything inside comes into its own motion, I catch this rhythm … my own, cars, the world … …

This is how the spontaneous dance begins. Through it you are grounded and you feel the axis within yourself. She is the basis and in her confidence, acceptance and movement of you into this outer space. Through her, self-presentation to this World. So huge and accepting you are different.

I have been paying little attention to makeup for a long time. And when my gaze chooses a beautiful face adorned with makeup from the crowd, I always admire and peer.

… In one of these morning purchases I reach the cash register and cannot take my eyes off. The girl is so pretty at the checkout. She has little makeup, but she glows from the inside, the hair from her movement synchronously takes off in a light cloud upwards. For a long time I have not kept in myself thoughts that I can say and here I share: "Victoria / badge /, you are especially beautiful today. I would like to look at you"

Victoria smiles: "In fact, I am so tired of work that I want to go to the coffin."

I stop and, for some reason, I also smile and say: "Oh, now I will know how beautiful people are when they want to die")

We both laugh.

And from that day on, a special relationship has developed between us. Once she said: "Thank you for coming unpainted. It sometimes helps me not to paint myself" and now she just says goodbye to me at the cash register with this phrase.

I collide everyday

(through Others, through stories, situations, books / articles / films / music)

"with many in itself" / the phrase belongs to Boris Pinsker, my respect /.

External-internal, true-false, yours-someone else's, want-must, can-must, attracts-repels, disgust-pleasure, movement-stop, decision-doubt ….. and in fact-Life.

Life begins with me every morning.

Every evening before going to bed you say goodbye to her and in the morning all over again.

Hello Life. Thank you for coming unpainted, in your natural beauty) ……
