Carpe Diem Extra #43.
Carpe Diem Kamishibai Kurisumasu.

I took the flight. Like I so often do. To my favorite city in Europe. Budapest in Hungary. The center of all kind of arts. The city of many festivals. Now it is Christmas market. Everybody is out and I love mingling around with my Canon. All kinds of handicraft. All kinds of Hungarian food – made out in the air. Chimney cakes baked for never ending queues. All kinds of languages spoken. Some people or many actually like the mulled wine but I don’t. But I wouldn’t say no to an Unicum.

Blue Open Door

Daily Prompt: Pick Your Gadget.
Your local electronics store has just started selling time machines, anywhere doors, and invisibility helmets. You can only afford one. Which of these do you buy, and why?

finding myself
confronted
facing options
like always
in life

since I know myself
and I am not
a messy gossiper
I don’t choose
invisability

since I know myself
and I am
very curious
I just love
open doors

since I know myself
I will start
open  the doors
one after
the other

… and I will not
shut them!

So far away

A Special for hook-line-and-inkwell

Swedish English
jag stod framför
dig
det kändes så
fast vi var kontinenter
ifrån
varandra
du jobbar för freden
i världen
där långt borta
jag upplever konstens
alla snillrika former
här
där jag är
långt ifrån
dig		 I was standing
in front of you
it felt so
although we were
continents away from
each other
You work for peace
in our world
so far away
I enjoy all kinds of arts
here
where i am
so far away
from
you

Working on the Top

her tears fell
silently
after just having left
her friends
the couple
of two souls
they went their way
and she hers
all alone
feeling the sadness
over an ended marriage
after some long time
of years
some tears
fell
then she went on
the yourney
in her own life
not so sad
any longer

Daily Prompt: Sorry, I’m Busy.
Tell us about a time when you should have helped someone… but didn’t.

should and/or would
about different
situations
circumstances
demands reflections
 a conscience
”should” is probably
very different
from soul to soul

In my case –
I act and react
probably too much.
My own guide line
is very
string and strict:
”Birgitta,
you must live
in a way
so you can be
proud of
yourself!”

For me – there is no other way but sense and ethics!
If someone is in danger – I act …
No money to beggars in the street …
Children are most important …
