aphorism

Day 2472, hard to see.

aphorism, Daily picture, Poetry

Without some scars on your soul
the outside that defines you
is hard to see

Day 2409, distance.

aphorism, Daily picture

Standing alone 
we can feel out of place
but looking back or from a distance
we can see that we fit right in 
with our surrounding 

or

when too close to reality
one can not see where it starts or ends

Day 1980, stuck.

Daily picture, Poetry

When I drifted away, many years ago, I got the feeling that I got stuck, maybe halve way. I don’t know why I thought that, knowing that I was going, without aim. I guess everything makes you feel stuck if you go to nowhere.

Day 1979, sail.

Daily picture, Poetry

It looks, that what I hold in front of me, is a shield. But I can tell you, that it works like a sail, a sail that helps me to smoothen the passage over rough tidying’s. leaning against time and its companions makes you stiff and will, at the end, break you, like the tree that never learned to give.

Day 1911, radius.

Daily picture, Poetry

It feels like I am going in circles

but maybe I am not even half way

Day 1902, what!

Daily picture, Poetry

Do we branch out from one root

in the world of idea’s

or does it all lead to one root

Day 1842, tool.

At work

I have more tools to cut

trim or straighten

all the access I encounter

then I have in my life

~

how strange.

Day 1841, reaching to far.

Daily picture, Poetry

If you start building

make sure you have everything nearby

otherwise you might fall over

when you have to reach far

Day 1263-1.jpg

I see

an ancient landscape

detached forever

and my mind

an artificial

line

in silence

with nothing
