Last time in Budapest I didn’t bring my Canon EOS … only my G12 and of course my iPhone. It was more of poetry in my head than photography and it was and still are … a very dull time for shooting I think. I don’t like autumn and winter. I only like spring and summer when I can dress less and enjoy sun and light … the blue sky. So I long so much …
Ramlade på … i en annan blogg … och förflyttades tillbaka … till oktober 2013 … Budapest … med Milton …
mitt sällskap
på vägen som vandras – där
också vila
… så roligt vi hade … tills … du blev anfallen av en lös rottweiler … och jag fick bära dig ut och hem på kissrundor …du repade dig snabbt … och sedan kom nästa chock … inför hemresan …
av de båda
valde jag det ena – passet
så fel
… jag hade helt enkelt tagit Daisys gamla pass … och inte ditt Milton … du fick din erforderliga spruta inför hemresan … och en nervös matte som sällskap … skulle de upptäcka … att du var pojk … med fel pass …
Vi kom båda hem … så lyckligt!
When the sun is shining … and it is 18°C … and there is an empty bench by the river Danube … and there is a perfect breeze … no body smoking around …
… when there is … like today …
body of roses
thoughts like happy piruetts
life is smiling
… a just so perfect day! Couldn’t be better. Well it could … if you were beside me …
ask me to cruise
all night long – loving
the upward curve
… I felt just crazy … in what was popping up … piruetting in my mind … I smiled … chuckled and giggled … crazy me … and I went on …
Well it would be nice to cruise on the Danube. In a nice room … in a pleasant bed … and with a sea view … of course …
a sip of nectar
a kiss of wild strawberry
my dizzy surrender
… with you … and your desire to … remember? …
waves unveiled
when string of kisses – opens
scent of violin flower
… I remember … clearly … like … a tip of tongue … remember … the taste of nectar.
Time went quickly and I had to get my salmon at the great market before they close. I always plan somewhere in my head so I was close to the tram. Right tram for market.
Went home to secure the salmon in refrigerator and off I went to check the film shooting outside Opera. Than finally a glass of wine in Anna café on Váci. Such a perfect day!
And I got a little sunburn – red I suppose …
How nice to read this post by Kristjaan in Carpe Diem. He told about feelings being close to nature. This is immensely important. But I think … not everyone know how to do … or even that it is an option. How sad! What about young people nowadays. Will they find – in their smartphones – what our generation finds in nature? Allow me to doubt!
searching the lost
most important of all – call
for nature
Today I had a day of pleasure. I was really in good mood. Went to the Thermal Bath. No turists only Hungarians …. and me. Not crowdy like in Szechenyi. Outdoors under the sky. 38° Oh how I enjoyed! Floating, swimming, doing some exercises … just for my wellbeing.
And then …. these water jets!!!! My back got a deep make over. Hard and strong – every knot inside disappeared. I shut my eyes. Me and the water in this mesmerizing jet. When I hold out my hands … palms upwards … to catch the yets … I felt as … they played piano with my fingers. Feeling my fingers to be the keys. It was amazing. I let myself be played … for a long time … and where were I with my mind … in that room I like so much.
I noticed people studied me but I didn’t bother. Was I standing out? I wondered.
such pleasure
connection to origin – habitat
water – loving life
These two I wrote after – on my way home – when sitting in the city center park -watching people – resting for a while – with so much peace in mind …
exhausted
after pleasure – living
above all
It took a long time … living … to find this balance … I nowadays feel … for my body … in my soul … in my life.
I think … I have definitely reached the best level … for living my life. I’m so happy and thankful.
And I think I am worth it because I have been working very hard on all levels … in life …. society … at work … … you name it!
Now is *After Work* – and I love it! Seize the day & Be live.

… pleasure in life …

keepers of the earth.
Will there ever be another conductor like him! No, of course not! He was just outstanding! He was one of the reason I started to enjoy classic music. How fascinated I became. Keeping the whole orchestra so strong in ones hands. Fantastic I thought and still think.
In Herbert von Karajan I also found that special sensitivity. I always look for that when it comes to artists of all kinds. Musicians as well as dancers.
Tonight at the premier of ”In our Past – We have the Present” and I met him. My – now – favorite choreographer. Actually he is the director. He was happy I came, he said, after the performance. Most happy I was – of course. How hard he had worked, I noticed. But now ”paid off” with ovations and applauds. He really has a wonderful dance group for his national dance theatre. I got three new favorites tonight. I had Alexandra (left) first and has still of course. She is also outstanding!

My two favorite female dancers.
One more female dancer now and two male dancers. They have classic schooling – which I want for contemporary dancers. Otherwise it tends to be more gymnastic than dance. So many practicing classic dance and when they grow up they have ‘wrong’ body measures for classic dancers. Life is hard for them. Luckily they can have a career as contemporary dancers.
PERFORMANCE ARTS – I LOVE ❤
tonight my skin
will miss the hot spring
it seems colder

My skin too …miss that hot spring … I would like to sit there with the Master of masters. Talking about experiencing nature – its inner scent. Talking the poetry language.
like the steam
from inner body of earth – onsen
lifts my soul
This is not at all hard to imagine for me. This is something I love to take time for. Both in Hungarian ‘onsen’ and in my bathtub. Probably I will not vist Japan but I probably will visit Iceland where also ‘onsen’ can be find.
mighty nature
mountains and valleys – healthy
liquid for pleasure
In Hungary I have been to many termal bath from Hévíz in the south to Salt Hill in the north. I also have them close here in Budapest.

dressed by onsen
I’m completely in your care
the touch of you
…. I’m now floating away … this must be heaven … this is how I want to die … dressed in onsen.
But in fact I want to end up in the sea. Hopefully my children will burn me up and then poor me out in a streaming river close to the sea. Then I want them to have a fun party – thinking about how much I enjoyed life.
How odd thinking about death when it’s all about pleasure with onsen. But for me death isn’t odd at all. Of course you must talk about it! It’s natural – or you have to make it natural. My children know – so no problem. I will die some day. No problem!
Until then I’m busy living … very busy! Tonight I’ve had an awesome evening. Premier contemporary dance event. Cannot be better!

I turn my back
on Buddha and face
the cool moon
Interesting history about Shiki, I think, when reading. I get curious and search more haiku by him. I must say I find them a bit difficult to like and he will probably not be a favorite of mine. But the haiku I choose above – I think goes well with his history – being radical and not allowed to give public speech. I think he felt a cool and hostile society then.
saw the country
and returned—now deep at night
I lie in bed and
fields of mustard flowers
bloom before my eyes
I myself had a wonderful day today – meeting friendly people and feeling spring – also love – in the air. I walked along the Danube passed a young couple …
she giggled
swaying her head ‘n hair backwards – and
he kissed her
… I smiled and felt happy for them – went on my walk. After passing two bridges I sat down. Studied the Japanese – or Chinese – turists modeling with Chain Bridge and Buda castle in background. A young handsome man did beautiful moves – Qigong – while his girlfriend filmed him with iPhone. I enjoyed and felt such nice harmony.
I laid back and closed my eyes … poetry popped up …
I’m sitting
by the river Danube
feeling the wind
dancing in my face
and playing with my hair
*
whirls of water
coming from down under
to hit the water surface
just to play with
the sun rays
*
people passing by
know nothing, nothing at all – about
wind and water playing
… this very minute … a moment I liked so much. I got a crazy idea. Why not film and record! So I did. But when listening I thought … how sad and sleepy I sound … that’s not me. Think it was because I didn’t want anyone to hear what I was doing.
Would you like to listen to it? Perhaps I can get enough guts to publish 😉
If you want – I will publish here … it’s on the way to Youtube just now …. ready … scroll down … 😉
So here it is … (I think I have to ask my granddaughter about advice for recording) …
