Passion – The Funny Way
Today – when watching musicians – I thought about passion. Does passion show in every musicians? I wondered about and pictured – like a film playing in mind – a lot of different musicians in different kinds of music. And in my head of course also dancers are moving around while thinking of passion … and music …
like a violin string
played – dancers move
in true passion
capturing the most inner
feelings to express
… I love so much passion … expressed through arts … performing arts … I love it so much it almost hurts … somewhere inside. The true artist … always shows a great power of passion … They become ‘one’ with their instrument … which for a dancer is the body … for the … orchestra conductor also body and his wand.
And I think a dancer with great passion also finds music inside his/her body … and knows how to transform it into dancing …
I get passionate … only by thinking about this passion …
a blue flower
picked the passing wind
playing music
Talking about passion … can also be made the funny way …

Hot Passion
Some fun ends … and some fun goes on … and most I love … is … the tango… with you … soon to take place again. I love it! Passion and close bodies!
In control!
determined legs
yours – and mine capturing
your insistent moves
You will also give classes this week. So many dancers will be there. Me too – though shooting. Oh how I have looked forward to this. Only once before I have been to the dance studio to shoot photos. Now I will again. Soon!
I like to say to everybody – go and take classes in tango!
like a flower
bursting out promising – spring
for hot passion
And then comes the summer … best of all … best of everything … now ahead … soon …
The Hunter Philosophy
Sometimes … when I read poetry … out there … well here too … I think … POETRY SHOULD HAVE A PLACE IN EVERY SCHOOL … I have always advocated for philosophy as a base subject.
The more technic take place – in our life – the more philosophy we need … is my mantra.
I still believe that!
Poetry … inspire for interpretations … challenge the readers in many ways … explore feelings … other persons feelings … helps to change perspective … may strengthen ability for empathy … most needed in the harsh sometimes very hostile social world … not to forget in social medias …
How romantic and safe wasn’t my life as young … now it seems to be the opposite for young people. Even when it comes to equality between girls and boys. It’s worse now and this is so sad.
Is it about hunting or beeing hunted. As young I loved beeing hunted by boys. It was so innocent and so beautiful. Exploring each other in a way. Life schooling for relations and love.
At the same time I knew more about boys than girls because for me it was much more interesting being with boys than girls. Climbing trees, playing football, sneaking in to other gardens picking fruits … and I was very good at slingshots … playing with dolls wasn’t my kind at all, not girls ‘backtalking’ either. I like the straight … and I found boys much more straight. Always have.
I am still amazed that my parents let me be my personality. My dad bought me football boots with studs. He went to every basket game I played in. My mother sewed jeans and caps for me mostly. Sometimes also dresses – me and my sisters – looking so nice in same cloth. My mother even sew dresses to the princesses of Sweden before her marriage.
Dresses I have saved with much love. Dresses my granddaughters also have used.
Min mamma sydde denna klänning till mig för många många många år sedan. Passar även barnbarnet.
I’m … writing my thinking … that’s why it takes some odd ways … and I like that. That’s being alive … lively …thinking … about the tiny and great … close and far away …
Back to where I started thinking today ….Inspired by … The Hunter tanka … I respond …
I’m also out hunting
dressed in philosophy
and questions
my belt has many pockets
one secret – only for you
He was Outstanding
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 ❤
Tango Touch
next week
we will meet in tango touch
dancing so close
Not for Me
People Passing
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) …

The Top of Hearts
Yes I do! Honestly! And I will – I’m sure. Like to reach that amazing mountain top. Covered with your hesitance. That hesitance I don’t know why it exist. Have you been hurt? Are you shy? I don’t picture you as week. But what do I know! Nothing…
striving to reach
wanting so much – to get closer
your heart
… I just live out my feelings … my curiosity … about you …for now … that mountain top to climb …
… to reach your heart.
And kissing you … on the top of the world.
For ever!
Yes you! …. you know …
