Wir sind schon auf Abschiedstour in Palermo.
Das Wetter ist heute grandios - es ist Frühling! 🌞
Wir sind noch einmal an unserem Lieblingsplatz, dem Zisa Park.
Ich blicke zurück auf vier Jahre Sizilien - für mich geht ein Lebensabschnitt zu Ende. Was das bedeutet, werde ich wahrscheinlich aber erst in Deutschland merken.
Und wie geht's euch damit? Was nehmt ihr mit aus Palermo?
"Palermo hat mich auf jeden Fall mein Heimweh nach Californien vergessen lassen." sagt Barbara. "Und ihr natürlich, meine Familie. Ich habe viel alten Groll im Meer versenken können. Ich habe Daliah verziehen. Wir waren hier viel auf alten Pfaden unterwegs, die ich einst mit ihr ging. Ich denke da an so Momente wie die rote Schule in Cefalù oder die Catacombe dei Cappuccini. Aber danke auch an Abdi und Shashaa, die mir halfen, meine Hollywood Sünden zu reflektieren."
"Ja, Familie." sagt Shashaa. "Ihr seid mir ans Herz gewachsen und meine zweite Familie geworden! Was ich mitnehme? All Along the Watchtower natürlich! Dass jemand den Watchtower in seinem Vorgarten stehen hat! Hhhhh. Aber das ist es, was die hier in Palermo können: Leben und leben lassen. Einfach an der Maqueda sitzen und einen Espresso trinken und die Leute beobachten. Oder Blumen so groß wie Suppenschüsseln. Oder die Bäume mit den Krokodilfüßen. Palermo, I ❤ you! Ich komme bestimmt wieder!"
"Ach, ich soll auch was sagen?" fragt Yinka. "Die letzten Wochen waren turbulent. Ihr wisst ja, was meiner Schwester Bisi passiert ist. Sie ist an einem sicheren Ort, und Bola sagt, sie werden alles tun, sie ins Ausland zu bringen. Ich bin ein wenig beruhigt. Jetzt im Ramadan sind wir ja sehr mit Tafsir beschäftigt. Wir wollen Antworten zum Leben von Jesus und Johannes und wie das Christentum entstand. Das ist so umfangreich, und für jede gefundene Antwort stellen sich zehn neue Fragen. Also, mein Kopf ist voll. Palermo, ja, dann war da noch der Zirkus mit den Carabinieri, nur dämliche Bürokratie halt. Ich hatte halt Angst, dass da noch was aus Rom nachkommt. Aber nein, das scheint wirklich Schnee von gestern zu sein. Rom und Valeria sind inzwischen ewig weit weg. Wenn du zu mir heute Italien sagst, dann denke ich zuerst an Palermo."

#SelfReflection There is such a thing as being more stubborn than You are Sensible or Smart. In this situation You become Your own worst enemy and a threat to Your own Accomplishment of any Aim; i.e. Success. Sometimes in order to feed Our families, We have to bite Our tongues & swallow Our pride; one of My short-comings is trying to teach those who don't want to be taught and heal those who enjoy being sick. I always want better for people however some get offended because in their eyes, they are content as from where they sit their doing heir Best & have plateaued. Point well taken... though You may have the Best intentions most can't see Your vision without Your eyes. Ultimately We must All keep in mind, without valuing Ourselves drawing valuable things into Our Lives is an uphill battle, backwards with 5 1/2 inch stilettos on. 😏My walk is a living testimony that light can be found in dark places. You can get a much clearer picture of Yourself when You stop looking at your reflection thru shattered glass. #MentalSelfExam There's Always room for Improvement. Too much pride pays below minimum wage where Humility can have You wealthy beyond measure.

Of course, it makes sense.
But sense was never comforting.
It does not chase away
The lonely chill.
You shiver, and logic has lost is tongue.
The beast is on the hunt
But even the scent of shame
Must be earned,
And that is not an award I can claim
So I linger on the empty Plain.
The piano keys answer with a thud
As notes swirl within me
The fate of their voice
Keeps all of us deaf
And they land softly, in the dust.
The sign says stop
But I am not allowed the rest.
Because the phantom pain
Wakes me in my ugly sleep.
I lay awake and make up dreams.
Now, gravity goes to work
I let it, because it has a real job to do
Like my patchwork quilt of comfort
I add a patch of heavy sighs
And it wraps around me an embrace,
Breathing my breath for me.
