Lyckan har anlänt

Skrivpuff: En bild.

Mörker i sena kvällen. Nästan klar med julkupan. Barr, mossa och ljus på plats. Det överblivna raspet ihopsamlat. Oj! Det lever. En liten skalförsedd bagge kryper fram och förbi en pytteliten ljusgrön larv som kämpar sig över en liten kvist.

Lyckan har anlänt.

Fram med kamera och macro.

Odd peculiar
funny things are taking place
in every person.

It stands for you to
controlled in every second
is lacking some life.

Differently go
seems interesting enough
otherwise running.

Good old experiences

Daily Prompts: Salad Days.
Is there a period in your own personal life that you think of as the good old days? Tell us a story about those innocent and/or exciting times (or lack thereof)

No, not exactly. But I think about my teenage life as a lot of fun in a life with good music and lots of friends.
Actually I don’t feel very comfortable with thinking in terms of ”good old days”. I like more to think about periods in my life that brought a lot of experiences to me.

The time in my life that brought lots of interesting and exciting memories to me is when I lived in the United Arab Emirates. So different from my usual life in Sweden. I had the opportunity to get to know many arab friends in the country as well as arab friends from other countries – from the Middle or Far East – yes friends from all over the world. I lived in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We travelled all over the seven Emirates. This is the period in my life that I appreciate the most. People were so friendly and openminded. I learnt a lot about humans, different cultures and ways of living.

This happened in the early 80-ties.

    for the key to your safe box

No – just wait

Daily Prompt: Waiting room.
”Good things come to those who wait.” Do you agree? How long is it reasonable to wait for something you really want?

HAIKU – Senryu

No, I don’t agree!
Good things come to all of us.
Just wait and you’ll see.

Carpe Diem's HAIKU

Carpe Diem Special #117, Tomas Tranströmer’s 3rd ”a mother of stone”.

The boy drinks his milk
and sleeps cozy in his cell,
a mother of stone

Jailed into myself
Unbreakable fence captures
Mother of sadness.


War is not over
Bring some well-meaning actions
Giving love a chance.


Longing and wishing
Summer meadow is flowering
Waiting for lovers.
