Swiss and kitten pleasure...


Damn, just realised that all the other holiday pics are on my laptop and I'm too lazy to take my memory stick...here a brief preview of the Aletch gletsjer...And when we came home we were very eager to collect our brand new family member...Mielto...isn't she cute..?

It is strange it is weird

It is strange
It is weird
I thought that it hadn't
But it has
Disappeared
And I am well rid
Without it
I am well rid
Without the emptiness
And ugliness
of it

Sensitivity and Creativity

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create...so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating." -Pearl Buck-

To me not creating is like dying from the inside...I have been dead for quite a while now...

Kindred Spirits

You look at me
Tell me what you see
Does it look familiar?
Offensive or peculiar?
Do you feel ashamed?
Like you're being blamed
For stuff you don't even understand
Do they call you names?
Do they call you names?
Do they call you names?
Is your heart made of guilt
Do you understand?
What is going on inside of you
What is going in the world
Around you?
Do they call you names?
Do they call you names?
Do they call you names?
Are we kindred spirits
Or just the opposite?
You drunk as a skunk
And I, well,
Just a plain non-alcoholic
We're both in it, always
Still you look at me
And I know you see
That I'm not the one
That I used to be
To me it's still not clear
What I need to hear
If I ever need to get out of hear
Do they call you names?
Do they call you names?
Do they call you names?
Are we kindred spirits
Or just the opposite
You drunk as a skunk
And I, well,
Just a plain non-alcoholic
We're both in it, always

Kimya Dawson - Tree Hugger

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,
"The tree said, "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.
And the rattlesnake said,
"I wish I had hands so
I could hug you like a man.
"And then the cactus said,
"Don't you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice,
But hug my flower with your eyes.
"The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,
"The tree said, "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And in the sea there is a fish,

That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.
