Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
"One can only face in others what one can face in oneself. On this confrontation depends the measure of our wisdom and compassion"
James Baldwin
Water study. I have so much trouble executing what's in my mind.
Thanks to KleptoHeart for all the sage wisdom on water and light reflections!

... stooping down to catch the graceful curving log in an overgrown field
there are some days I choose to ignore bad news that I see and hear and refuse to discuss the latest disasters of the day, I just want to chill, pretend that all is right with our precious planet ... but eventually it seeps into the nooks and crannies of my troubled mind and I feel helpless and overwhelmed, where does one start?
spotted these three silly fellows on Vancouver Island in Genoa Bay on this day last year.
to calm myself I listen to Debussy :
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.” – Theodore Isaac Rubin

i’ve been watching the clover bloom in my backyard. by many standards, this is a weed—something unwanted. but i think clover is beautiful. the more i look, the more i see. and this makes me think about people in general. how we, as a culture, box in beauty, intelligence, and worthiness. but if we look more closely, there’s beauty and wisdom in everyone. people can surprise us in interesting ways. when i’m not in a rush, i see differently: instead of boxed-in people, i see imperfect humans doing the best they can in a difficult world. when i’m not in a rush, i see many moments of grace.
I have met many cats, each with a unique and unrepeatable personality, but there are some who leave a permanent mark. She was one of them.

My final attempt at the "FlickrFriday" theme "Wisdom"
Franz Kafka is well known around the world and many have read his famous novels and stories. However one of his most impressive works in my opinion are the lesser known "Zürauer Aphorismen“ (aphorisms)! I think they give a glimpse into the incredible wisdom Kafka had despite his young age and struggles. That‘s why I chose it for this theme!

OrangAid SOS Benefit
OrangAid, Lyceum Theatre, London 12th May 2008
Films4Conservation came along to help our friends at the Sumatran Orangutan Society by shooting the photos for the OrangAid comedy benefit night. We have worked alongside SOS for the past few years, working closely on the palm oil campaign, and producing targeted Indonesian language videos on subjects ranging from orangutan and human conflict mitigation to the disenfranchisement of tribal forest people at the hands of the palm oil industry. To find out more about our friends at SOS please visit: www.orangutans-sos.org/

I use Flickr like that, you know
I used to write a diary, all the way till I was 16 and went off to England for a working camp for 3 weeks.
I was so sure that I would never come from that trip alive
So I burned the diaries I had
Little did I understand that the burning was a way to tell myself that I was finished with the life I had till that day.
It was often a wretched life, lots of circumstances made it like that
Things no child should experience
So deep down I understood that I had choices to make
I had a life to live
How to start the change?
Tricky one for a 16 year old
But I started to live fully and I definitely took it all in.
I had to, you know
Because how could I else understand the good things from the bad things
So I experienced loads, both good and bad - but now I was in charge, I was to do the choices.
When you experience yourself, instead of being told how to do or not to do things it settles in your mind in quite another way.
It is the first step to get things right, life schmocks right back at your face and the experiences you just did makes seeds in your mind and you can start to harvest after a while
Life could begin
Don't judge a person for dealing with life, we have reasons you may not understand and often the ones living the life don't understand before later
And yes Dear Diary, I did escape from the working camp, lol, I ran off to London and lived there for some weeks. My folks didn't know.
No cellphones, haha.
I made it home, refreshed, smuggling lots of miniature bottles with Cherry Heering and Cointreau
Life could definitely begin, lol.
Happy ending today too
And yes, Christian - this is Karmøy, sunset towards Great Britain :D
So I spent the day running around with my grandpa today while Chucho slept in. He had a doctor's appointment to fix BOTH of the hearing aids he "accidentally" broke weeks ago. Then it was off to breakfast for a senior meal - he loves those discounts. Then he wanted to get parts for his weed eater, at 2 different stores. Then it was across town to get some tomato plants to replace a few that he doesn't feel are performing good enough, and then he needed to get a card for a wedding, so I got to read to him and most of the store half an isle of cards...and he settled for "one that just holds money - who cares what it says. THEY won't"... Then after I asked if we were finished and ready to head home, and he says yes, Chucho wakes up and calls, saying he's hungry and could I bring some Mcnuggets. I say sure and pick some up figuring its our last stop before home. While at the drive thru he remembers he wants some beer for tonight, so it was off to the liquor store for supplies. That was the one thing that wasn't an ordeal. He knew right where the specials were. Then he had to go to the ATM to get the money for the card. I helped him push the buttons while he loud whispered to me the code on that "damn ATM that nobody can see" He was right. Even I had a hard time reading that faded display. Then it was back to Loma...and halfway there he panics saying that he left his glasses on the ATM because he could read better without them, but he needs them for tv... He pats down his body and says we have to go back... We go all the way back, he gets out of the car and stands up to go to the ATM and feels them in his pocket.... So we get back home and have a beer for our half hour day that turned into the whole day and I give Chucho his now cold nuggets... So Grandpa wants to see the pics we took at the Monument. He sees this pic and says, "If you want to live as long as me, you don't do pictures like this" and shut the laptop.
And I do :)
