A True Friend

I am not lonely living here in Thailand.In fact I have already found a really true friend. He is rather shy,so he doesn’t like to be around much during the day,but as soon as it gets dark,which is about sixish he visits me. I call him Alexander. He doesn’t dare to come into my apartment,but [...]

Kris

I lost my heart again last night. He stood,just a few feet in front of me,dressed in black,plucked his guitar and said, rather than sang in a voice that left no woman doubting that this was a real man; “Take the ribbon from your hair” Kris Kristofferson,the All American Rebel,sang at the Zürich Summer Festival,”Live [...]

My Life With The Sea

” Break,break,break, On thy cold grey stones. Oh Sea! And I would that my tongue could utter the thoughts that arise in me” Alfred,Lord Tennyson. 1809-1892. I suppose it is because I was born under Pisces that I have an affinity with the sea. I do in fact compare my life to it. The ups [...]

Hands

Hands clutching at last piece of driftwood, Nerves alive in a rigid body, Waiting for the ultimate wave. Managed to get a piece of poetry written to befit my mood,but darned if I can get an image posted with the new system. At the moment I hate WordPress.

St Patricks Day is on the Seventeenth

Soon it will be time to wear “The Green” again. And as usual tears will come to my ears when I hear this song; Oh, Danny boy,the pipes,the pipes are calling, From glen to glen and down the mountain side. The summers gone,and all the flowers are dying, Tis you,Tis you must go and I [...]

Circle of Friends

I began the week feeling miserable and depressed although I had no grounds for it. It wasn’t the lack of sun, central and northern Europe have been enjoying an exceptionally sunny February,but I felt nasty and was being nasty to those around me. Then I heard within twenty four hours from three friends that I [...]

Hera

Hera is calling, and we will return, Bound with her twine, long faded by Aegean light. Where blue meets blue she stands and beckons us home. Two kindred souls, Mortals yearning for her ethereal world. Not daunted by passing time In foreign lands both grey and cold . The echo of her laughter is heard [...]

Club of Rome

The Club of Rome has indeed been rather quiet lately, they have been reshuffling ideas and goals, one of which I hope is to speak up a bit.They would also like to transfer their headquarters from Hamburg in Germany to Zürich. On the 24th of February,we now have a referendum in Zürich as to whether [...]

My Little Friend Kobi

Yesterday was Kobis’ Birthday. No that’s not quite true, his Birthday was actually on Monday the 19th, but he celebrated it yesterday because his Agenda was already full. It was a special Birthday for him and we felt honoured to be invited. You see Kobi is our neighbour and he is now one year old. [...]
