Here we played the game “Memory”

“Let it be forgotten as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.
Let it be forgotten forever and ever.
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.”

(S. Teasdale in Let it be forgotten)

“Gestern abend in der stillen Ruh’,
Sah ich im Wald einer Amsel zu;
Als ich da so saß,
Meiner ganz vergaß:
Kommt mein Schatz und schleichet sich um mich
Und küsset mich.”

(Folksong Waldeinsamkeit)
Wijlre (NL)

August 14, 2023 It seems abstract

Can I read these signs on the wall?

“Most of the time
I’m clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path, I can read the signs
Stay right with it when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever I stumble upon …”

(Bob Dylan in Most of the time)

Relaxing at the Red Cross is long gone

“As I listened from a beach-chair in the shade
To all the noises that my garden made,
It seemed to me only proper that words
Should be withheld from vegetables and birds.”

(W.H. Auden in Their Lonely Betters)

Doesn’t the mirror say I’m beautiful?

“Der Spiegel sagt mir: ich bin schön!
Ihr sagt: zu altern sei auch mein Geschick.
Vor Gott muß alles ewig stehn,
In mir liebt ihn für diesen Augenblick.”

(J.W. von Goethe in West-Östlicher Divan)
