[Alexandr Korol]

After a long, dark winter and night, you want to put away the winter sleds
and skis, you want to take off the warm protective clothing with the mittens
and earflaps and put them away. You know, you want to peel off the tape
from the windows that were sealed against the cold — like they used to do
30 years ago — and wash them after the winter. Everything is blooming,
and it feels like you want to get out your summer clothes; that is what is
happening now. And you know what is very interesting? In the winter, people
don’t want to leave the house unnecessarily; it’s dark and cold. But here, it’s as
if you want to go out and walk in the park, because everything has bloomed,
or is blooming. It feels as if something like this is happening now; maybe
I should continue to reveal and develop this in the tenth volume. Maybe
this is the conclusion of the tenth volume, and the eleventh will follow.
I just catch myself having these sensations, that I am already starting to
reflect on it — that some kind of result is being summed up now. I decided
to record this as well for today.
