Budapest – Olympic 2024

 ”The Budapest bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics was announced by the Hungarian Olympic Committee (Hungarian: Magyar Olimpiai Bizottság, MOB) on 11 November 2013, although organizers had been planning a bid since 2008.” Wikipedia.

I will sure cross my fingers. – Will you?

These Olympic Rings are placed along the Danube not far from the Parliament. I am just heading to the Parliament on my way home.

Another Kind of Candle

On my way home today. I walked towards the Cathedral and a poem popped up in my head. (I live just behind the church.)

not so long
way to the other side
of religion

I’m not religious as you know. But when I grew up everybody around me were. As child – visiting the church – I always thought the priests told lies. Couldn’t understand how people could believe what the priests said. I’m interested in facts – not what few people make up in their fantasy and then try to make it true for a mass.
Sure Jesus once lived and he probably had a very good hearted life philosophy.

It also happens with ”facts” in times. Thinking about when the earth was believed to be flat. So I wonder a lot about:

-What do we believe to be very true today – and tomorrow will be proved as wrong and seen as the madness of our time?  Maybe about the climate? Maybe about our planet? Our place in Universe? I would very very much like to know …

to turn on the light

while the button was set broken

Perhaps that one was too mysterious?

wise people
talking the speech of facts ‘n truth
my candles
as interesting people’s questions
provide  imaginative power and fantasy


“We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.”
― Richard Dawkins


”Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.” Lucius Annaeus Seneca.

The Weakest Strength

First I must say – Kristjaan – Host of Carpe Diem – You are fantastic! This journey you bring us on is amazing. Music and poetry goes very well along and you put such an effort in this – I would never have known about so many talanted female composers if not for you. You are my HERO of December – Just saying!!!!!

Now – just at home after visiting an art auction and passing through the greatest Christmas Market in Budapest – …. oh so many new experiences … !!! – I sit down and turn on the music – and the first feeling I get is – this touches my soul!

And in the other end – of cyber – my granddaughter – she just sent a new song -she recorded- to me. She sings and play the guitar and the piano. So lovely!

My senses are overwhelmed – and I love it!

comes the strongest weakness

I like when contrasts meet. It’s challenging and exciting. And a great start for ….

Crazy Art by me - Swinging my Life

My Holy Three – x3x3x3

  1. Fortune about substance – Fortune about happiness – Fortune about experiences.
  2. Body – Heart – Soul
  3. Needs – Emotions – Reason (3Brains: Reptile – Limbic system  – Neocortex)

What’s directing in different situations? 

That’s an important question to reflect about. I think people are far too much focused on tw0 and not the third.

The pedophile – by needs and body pleasure – reptile brain.
The terrorist – by emotions –
The atheist – by reason –

Why do more and more people get immensely fat? – And the TV love to make programs about it! Why?

Why do people turn to extreme collectors and why do people buy all kinds of things they don’t really need? – And TV love to make programs about it! Why?

Why isn’t reason ruling our lives? Is it to blame somebody else?

Well I cannot change the world – I can try … but ….!

My life is in my hands – or correctly – my way of living my life is in my hands. So if I value myself I just have to take care of myself. I ought to find out what is important in life. Not just to me! Not just for me! What’s most important in life! One must find out for oneself. And at the same time – hopefully – be a resource for others.

How should I live my life so I can be proud of myself, stay healthy and enjoy every day as much as possible.

I think I am rather good att living my life. I don’t need a lot of things and clothes but I need my Canon, Mac, iPad and iPhone 😉
I have been a hard working woman all my life and now I enjoy after_work 😉
Since I love to watch phenomena in everyday life, people and their behavior …. and since I love all kinds of performing arts, music and culture …. Budapest is the right place for me. In Sweden I could neither have the possibility nor afford because of distance and costs. My program 2016 and now started up 2017.

And I can choose when I want to be in the crowd and when I want to be in my own space.

Now before Christmas there are more than 1 million turists in Budapest. Safe and sound – so far!

Crazy Thoughts

When I was out walking with my Canon and bracelet Fitbit I suddenly got a lot of funny thoughts in my head. I often do actually – poems are popping upp and I am amused by them. Today they were of a mischievous kind. But not the first.

people in streets
young and old open their faces
when I smile

Mostly I am smiling when walking about – if not in a deep consideration. Then I can look angry I understand. Well today was a day for giggling and smiling.

I want
to get drunk with you
how funny

Thinking of a nice full bodied red wine but I don’t know what you want. Maybe whiskey? Well that’s OK. And I haven’t had a glass of wine since my sister left a week ago.
I also must confess I don’t usually get drunk. Last and only time was …. let me think …. wow … it was exactly 50 years ago! It was Lucia day and I was supposed to be Lucia. Ha ha I remember very clearly.

and then
I want to lay down by
your side
feeling the essence of your soul
open up a glimpse of mine

That sounds good dosen’t it. perhaps it’s coming more ….
Now some music … ”lay down by my side” … is popping up in my head … isn’t that Kris Kristofferson? One of my favorit songs.

That Kind of Mood

I am in a kind of mood to write about love. Don’t know why. Just experiencing. Like I did before about sadness.

The thing is …

I love to write!

Love to listen to music!

I love to take part …. well actually I don’t any longer … in one way … but in another I do …

I love to watch … people … people’s behaviour … performance arts … creativity …

I love to … love …

I love having the flow …

oh my gosh
with mind of joyful ideas
crazy me

… sometimes … often … in right time … the writing time …

Well!
