Blue Photo - Give me a Chans and I will take it!

Och gilla Läget

Livet bjuder inte bara på en väg – knagglig eller slät – den bjuder på en mångfald. Vissa tvingas du ta andra väljer du själv.

Om jag fick
en chans till
skulle jag inte ta den!

Det är dags
för en annan att fortsätta
den kampen!

Just nu
ger jag mig själv de chanser
jag vill ha.

I en första period får man mycket hjälp i vägvalen. I en annan period är det för många krafter som bestämmer. Till slut lämnas alla val till dig själv.
Då ska du ta chansen!
Och gilla läget 🙂

Skrivpuff: Chans.

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 …

free ticket
for a ride in the dark world
to turn on the light
covered waited in endless queue
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.”

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!

with music
comes the strongest weakness
a spider leg

or

with music
comes the weakest strength
a spider web

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

The Glass House, Budapest

Viktoria Halleluja

In Budapest there are always a lot of culture events and performances going on. Both with famous artists and artists to be. In city center there is ”The Glass House” where not so famous artists take the scene and perform. I  often go there. Some days ago it was time for children and I recorded. Viktoria sang Halleluja so beautifully – I think.

children’s voices
tend to fill the christmas air
with carols

Catfishing on Internet

Well well well – There is fishing and there is fishing!

As having great interest in people and their behaviour I will choose to focus on ”catfishing” – fishing on Internet. It’s such a fraudulent activity.

Often young far eastern men targeting women. Often the lonely ones – the vulnerable. I sometimes get questions about friendship on Facebook. Very odd ones. Luckily I’m not vulnerable or weak, maybe lonely sometimes. When it happens I get militant and combative – I take a fight for a better world – even on Internet. I also have warned some women. And they were thankful.

Like when working against mobbing – I aim to show the bad behaviour – yes make it real – describe – show in pictures – a clear picture about the phenomenon.

So I made a webpage and I made a Facebook page. Sometimes it’s so stupid!

”Pierre Oblin” a general in US army – What general will make a Facebook page like this? And why contact me!? Isn’t it stupid! So insane! I would like very much to hang out the ”figure”  behind this.

Bäst att ta en funderare till

Ja det är något jag gör en hel del. Funderar. Både på mina egna och andras tankar. På hur det står till i världen och om vi just nu är upp och ned i alltet. Alltet det där Universum där utanför, omkring och bortom. Som snurrar och snurrar i en farlig fart.

Man måste lära sig att fundera och tänka var det någon klok som sade. Jag tror det är så. Jag tror det är viktigare att barn växer upp med frågor än med svar. Med problem i stället för lösningar. Naturligtvis måste det vara måtta på problemen – arten av problem. Likaså måste det vara måtta på svaren. Frågorna däremot ska det inte vara någon som helst måtta på. Ju mindre måtta desto bättre.

-Tänk om vi finns – lever – i skiten under en nagel på en jätte!? kunde min farbror säga till mig när jag hälsade på som liten. Min hjärna gick i spinn och tankarna dansade av glädje och spänning. Och vi tänkte tillsammans om detta och en hel massa annat.
-Tänk så opraktiskt att vi ska bära hem en massa vatten! kunde han säga när drickaförrådet fylldes på från lanthandeln. Vatten hade man ju gott om i brunnen utanför. Och jag höll ju med och funderade på hur man skulle kunna lösa den frågan för mänskligheten.

i vattnet
från allt omkring rinner livet
bort

Det där med drickan är delvist löst numera. Det finns ju brustabletter men fortfarande bär man hem läskbackar med vatten samt med en mindre del av annat i.
Dessutom finns det nog lite annat i vattnet i de flesta brunnarna nu för tiden också.

Bäst att ta en funderare till!

Skrivpuff: Fundera.

Min farbror spelar dragspel för mig och min storasyster som hälsade på denna dagen.
Häromdagen skrev jag en hyllning till denna platsen – mitt hjärtas smultronställe – .
Ps. Det är en kattunge jag håller.

A Lead Sheet

When reading about this challenge and when I saw ”The Great Wall” my mind thought about another wall. Not the Chinese one. I thought of Hercule’s Corona Borealis Great Wall. Funny isn’t it. Great and great from different perspectives. I would also like to walk on and shoot the Chinese wall. Probably the Chinese wouldn’t like me cause I want Tibet to be free. Until then I will travel the space. And listen to the wall music. But Ayers Rock is a dream to visit. And the Aboriginal lands – Aboriginal’s land.

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.
