Recuperation

Getting back to normal state of mentis et corporis after a couple of weeks full of dolere.

With yet stronger reasons..


from foot to head,

from what comes before,
from the beginning of time,

from the absurd,

from  what has happened,

from wandering to the point,


from pursuits to habits,

from sweats and struggles,

from flames and dangers,

from greed and misfortunes,

and from there, to the END.


From here on.

Take. Have and keep.

To many happy returns. 

I will either find a way or make one.

Resilience needed!

Backpains are here again, and am trying hard to remember those times when I was able to recover from this malady.

Dolor. It is only in my brain. And I have to get rid of it.

Tonight, I spoke with Mjean. Hearing her sorrows and troubles nowadays, my coccyx pain is nothing compared to what she is experiencing right now.

I am asking how a person could be so mean to someone? There is a kind of evil in such a man.

I just wish and hope she would learn to fight back. To never let him ever abuse her. Not even verbally.

She asked me which is better. Fighting against a dead man or a living one?

I assured her it is the same.

We have to try to take care of ourselves, so as not to lose our minds, and to take care of our health, or else, we would both end up losers.

Not to lose control of our impulses and emotions, not to lose confidence - that someday, these heavy rains would stop and we would find ourselves under a huge, pretty umbrella.

We will make it, Mjean!  
 

P.S. We are both lucky, though, to have somebody around, on whom we could lean our heavy shoulders on.

Topsy-turvy..

Tired, both mind and body... but cannot fall asleep...so what to do?

Right! Write.

But what about?

Dayum!!

Durcheinander...

Sometimes, life just sucks!

I aim not to sound disappointed.

Really, am I not.


Is this the indubitably place under the sun?

Or just another year of drifting around. Of no direction?

This is the one last try.  

A fine day along the Aller, Lower Saxony

Drifters....      

 Goodnight, everyone!
