The night donkeys
At night we go out at the same hours. Our direction is
known and our goal is clear.
News, information and analysis before the ink gets dry
or before the sunrise.
Daily target without a rest, without a horizon.
But it is our daily routine to gather these papers maybe
we could one night find a way out.
But we always miss reading this red bold headline:
This road has no end …
Small Donkey:
Keys glued on an acrylic ultramarine.

I have my keys
The donkey knows its way. It has passed through it going
and coming many times. This knowledge is an essential
part of its existence. It is even clever enough to walk
head down. It clearly knew and experienced every detail
on the main road and its sides. Yes…it is the road to
work and back home, the road of hard labor and rest. It
is the human road too, forward and backward, but he has
to notice the signs and make sure of it and even stops
to experience and understand. So he doesn’t lose his
direction on his boring daily routine.
But this blue donkey is totally different and doesn’t
have anything in common with other donkeys. It doesn’t
only know its ways and its directions but has enough
keys and solutions. And all its keys gather again to
confirm the direction.
But he has around his neck a very unique key, which
surpass the other earthly keys.
It is the key to eternity.
