A lazy Sunday afternoon for containers

“It’s a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that’s quiet, except for daisies running riot
And there’s no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me”

(B. Streisand in Lazy Afternoon)
IJmuiden (NL)

Fisherman’s Friends

“Das Fischergewerbe
Giebt rüstigen Muth!
Wir haben zum Erbe
Die Güter der Fluth.
Wir graben nicht Schätze,
Wir pflügen kein Feld;
Wir erndten im Netze,
Wir angeln uns Geld.”

(J.G. von Salis in Fischerlied)
IJmuiden (NL)

Sitting in meditation

“It is not far, it is within reach,
Perhaps you have been on it since you were born and did not know,
Perhaps it is everywhere on water and on land.”

(W. Whitman, no title in Song of myself)

The anatomy of a door

“Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you’re chokin’
Everything is broken”

Chains, chains, chains ….

“Chains, my baby’s got me locked up in chains
And they ain’t the kind that you can see
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me,
yeah”

(The Cookies in Chains)
