Diogenes met one morning in the parking lot near Budapest. He looked a bit like Herman Hesse, tykowaty, bald, in round glasses. He caught hitchhiking. He returned, was not joking, of Sinope. Diogenes is a doctor of philosophy, a traveler, the unemployed, cultural animator, photographer, God knows who else. In Turkey, he spent almost two months. I look at him and I do not want to believe the guy is wearing a jaded jeans, sneakers embraced in sandals, rozchełstaną shirt. Well, a small backpack fastened to the lack of snap lock. Dangling from his half of the mats. Why half? Diogenes explains to me that it is important to have a mat on the butt to the head, legs can sleep directly on the ground and the whole foam mattress is not after every charge.
We stopped at a gas station in Zvolen, Slovakia. Diogenes peach treats. And he talks about his travel, to sleep anywhere, of eating only what his people give, that the journey is for him a kind of meditation. Glad to hear this, but in fact it is such a tale.
Diogenes I was impressed only at the time when, just before departure, that his karimatkę detached and thrown into the trash, saying with a smile, "That I will no longer be needed."
Let's go further. We stopped at a gas station in Zilina. Diogenes, who for all the luggage is only the second T 'and second, linen, pants going to change. The toilet comes out holding a zmiętolone clothes in which I've seen it before. Eyes looking dustbin. When it is, rags and throws an impish smile says, "It will not be me longer needed. "
Diogenes called Leszek Szczasny, lives in Raciborz, and since then I love him like a brother.
