Friendship

I think true friendship is great.  Maybe also rare. Friendship between people I mean. Friendship with an animal is different. A dog is always loyal and faithful. You will never experience betrayal together with your dog.

being there
whenever – for both
and each

High … really!

Such a beautiful picture! Amazing landscape. A place on earth where I could wish to die – when it is time – but not now.
Captivating and feeling the colors, the highlands touching the sky – it’s like poetry …

the highland sky road
worthy my feet – only if  my heart
feel the beauty

… and also captivating in its mighty desolation. Such places are to me – as I believe churches are to religious people.

The Way you Live

Well well well … I don’t know what to say about this story! First I thought:

-Why all this about God and religion!? That’s not interesting at all! Just boring!

the way you live
your life will tell about your need
for penitence

Interesting is life and life philosophy! No need for a God!
It shouldn’t be … in the time we live …

I probably sound harsh and tough talking about religion … so destructive, suppressing and inhibitory to people. I’m sorry – I’m not humble in this issue 🙂

With Power to Share

Today has been a dazing and shattering (hope I use correct words) day. Really! I am still a bit shaky about what I experienced.
I had some errands to do. Library for Basho poetry. To AF – Academic Society – to ask about The Debate taking place tomorrow. Oh how I enjoyed to walk in Lundagård – the park in where Lund University and the Cathedral are situated. I do love to have my heart in this city of old and new knowledge. To share myself between two gems – Budapest.hu and Lund.se

While walking I lived in every breath. Satisfaction in every step until …

beside the pass-over
standing with most bowed back
tired and old
depending on rollator
I offered my help

… I met this old lady. Her body language spoke – ”need help” – so clear to me. She accepted my offer to help her cross the street. I stopped the rushing cars and we crossed. I couldn’t leave her there. Long story ….
So we spent 90 minutes together and what I experienced these minutes about old peoples life in our society …. I felt so sorry about her … I got so angry about the community … and not to talk about the transport service she called for to get home!!!!!

Above all this – it’s a cold late afternoon – she was marked of her reumatism – our long waiting for the transport service made it worse – and worse – long story – I also had to phone – twice ….

depending
on my own ability
for now
with a strong stream in my spine
with power to share with you

… and I got a clear reminder about our fragility. For now I trust myself and I am thankful that depending on myself works. Also in humbly insight there will be a day when …
During the time we spent together I got to know Ulla. We both were happy to have met each other. At last the transport service came. And the driver were very kind and helpful. Which was a relief for me.

After waving them off – I went home – dazed and shattered in mind. Now sitting here – writing …

Tomorrow will be a day for ‘take action’ – depending on myself.
