Rememberance

❡ And you wait, keep waiting for that one thing

which would infinitely enrich your life:

the powerful, uniquely uncommon,

the awakening of dormant stones,

depths that would reveal you to yourself.

In the dusk you notice the book shelves

with their volumes in gold and in brown;

and you think of far lands you journeyed,

of pictures and of shimmering gowns

worn by women you conquered and lost.

And it comes to you all of a sudden:

That was it!
And you arise, for you are

aware of a year in your distant past

with its fears and events and prayers.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Translated by ⎆ Albert Ernest Flemming




Sir, I thank you everso kindly... for I love Rilke; if not for your translating...

Water, is taught by thirst.

Land -- by the Oceans passed.

Transport -- by throe --

Peace -- by its battles told --

Love, by Memorial Mold --

Birds, by the Snow.

It's a colourful life

It's a colourful life,

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."

In the darkness, was it you

So very busy working on the walkway, the driveway, clearing the attic and basement, I seem to be covered in paint not the sort I'd like... not flickring ~ boo hoo I miss my friends, when I get there there's yet another ƒlickrhiccup, no beach, nothing but working these hands, I'm still shooting, always shooting.

Coo and lots of plans for my sabbatical (almost 6 long months)to England to be with my honey & to see the country side ... yay ~!!
