Diamonds for Truth and Secrets

Today I got a wonderful visit. My two granddaughters came around. I call them ”My GoldenHarts”. We spent all afternoon together and had what’s called ”quality time”. Chatting, laughing and also playing cards. I told them that playing with cards wasn’t allowed on Sundays when I was a child. I think they thought it was very odd. I thought so to at that time.
They also brought a gift for me …

my cards of tarot
diamonds for truth and secrets
a dear gift
from daughter to mother
some real goddesses

… from my youngest daughter.
Tarot cards …. a lot of them … about all kinds of Goddesses …
Now I have something to find out … on my Pilgrimage …

Not to Be

You should do what you want with your time! To you – yourself – being in time – isn’t an issue. But …

just in time
how lucky for us  – not to be
out of time

… agreed appointments or deadlines – with other people – it’s all about mutual respect – respect to the other persons time.

In Sweden we have something called ”Academic quarter (15 minites)” and it means that meetings starts 15 minutes after the official starting time. I don’t like that 😉

And … at last … how do you cooperate with the clock of the day? Are you a morning-one or a night-one? I am definitely a night-one …

dear flow
I’m so thankful you chose me
to inherit all time

…. and I like it a lot! The night is mine.

Moments when time doesn’t exist – moments having the ”flow”.
Best moments – all times!

… could be with pens, crayons, brushes, camera …. or just to be …

Your Ticket to

I love walking around and exploring. The conditions varies a lot from place to place. Of course. Roads inviting you for free are the best. Even in countries with restrictions you may find roads for your free walks. Because it has to be a connection between the road and you. You have to reach that special feeling to be able to learn from the road.
Finding that mood …

the two of you
will be engulfed by and live what’s
between every step

… that’s the way to learn – like feeling every curve in the thoroughly handmade wooden doors … and then open it. The kind of doors I have always imagined to have on my living room wall.

I am a bit weak about doors. Two pieced. With that special patina only life and sun can create. Three places in the world showed me the unique about doors. My grandmother’s, my aunt and uncle’s and the doors in the outskirts of Dubai. Where I used to walk with my youngest daughter. While the others were at school or at work. A very long time ago – early eighties. It was like walking the treasure of mud house road. All these sun dried worn in – absolutely not worn out – doors.
Instead of – on my living room wall – I keep them in my heart.

So why this talking about doors!??

an open door
the most essential to keep
in mind
your ticket! – traveling
the roads of wisdom

Symbolic for me.
Without an ”open door” you will not be able to learn from the road.

Yuxta Lives

This time here I haven’t given myself treatments I use to. Visiting the hairdresser, having manicure and pedicure, nice outdoor bath …. but today … soon before returning … I had pedicure. How nice to spoil myself and so good for my hard working feet. Soon I will leave all wonderful happenings behind … leave home here …

I’m happy
living in your longing thoughts
until next time
we will meet – soon enough
and share our yuxta lives

… to check out what’s going on at home there …
… to soon leave – home there – again behind …
… my yuxta lives …

Today I totally forgot to visit the Geisha exhibition – a ‘must’ to remember tomorrow!

In Contact

I love a blue sky and I love the sun. But not to sun bathe. On a beach. Not at all any more! I like to bathe in salt sea and I like to walk along the shore. And everywhere else. To explore the macro and micro world.

sunny sky
most tender balm for bodies
yours close to mine
both dressed in nature
the cosy bay style

In first read my tanka perhaps doesn’t give the impression of having with growth to do. But it is meant to. It’s harder – with lots of struggle – to grow by oneself – it’s possible of course. But so much easier to grow together with others …. I think.

in contact
like seed and raindrops
we grow deeper

Finally ….

…. I hope for a blue sky tomorrow.

Feelers needed – for two

I also believe in miracles! Miracles in the tiniest. Miracles in the mighty great universe. Miracles in minds.

feelers needed
walking in life of miracles
for two
with a watcher in the middle
enjoying the path way

It’s not enough to look closer! You have to look even closer! If you don’t want to miss the tiniest. Watch out …. Click on the pictures!

Did you see him in the above photo?
This is the miracle about macro shooting. Always surprises back home looking at the day’s result.
I find the ones I first didn’t see … miracle every time … and so fascinating ❤

MACRO - Pentatomidae Bärfis
Nobody else but me saw this exciting happenings in Budapest city center by the Danube  close to Chain Bridge. I showed a girl but I think she got scared by the bugs.
People were occupied  with selfies – with Buda Castle or the bridge in the background.

Recklessness

Today I am so inspired by the Pilgrimage. It’s about an incredibly important topic! We have to watch out when on Internet. We don’t know who is in the other end. Is it really that nice and charming person or is it a devil? And I am the kind that wants to be openminded and welcoming. But …

I will use a haiku I wrote some days ago because it fits well here too:

you know
hawks are hunting – but only
in the sky


…. at the same time my integrity is very important and I am not stupid. I can take a fight and I do about catfishing (my webpage with useful links) and on Facebook. One of the latest has got himself a lot of female friends in a short time.

Sometimes I get tired of myself – about such kind of fighting – …

-Why bother! I say to myself. I have bothered all my life. It’s enough!

-It’s time for ”after work” now, I keep saying to myself. But I don’t seem to listen.


What to do with myself? 
Advice much appreciated ….
