the wind blows

blow wind blow

the heavens have opened  their doors

the trees shiver

 yet i hover-

 heedless at the door,

 neither in nor out..

blow wind blow 

 whilst i remain an entity no more...

a little luck

Hello world it's me again..a lot has happened since I last wrote, to summarize I live in the Czech Rep. and am happily married with a 2.5 year old daughter..Edi. thanks in part to her, today I have found for the first time in my life, a four leaf clover. Although to many of you this might not be such a strange phenomenon to me, it signifies a change in fortune..perhaps this is only mental, but at times this is needed as well..I am too settled and happy " to wander" like in my olden days..but I must admit I had been feeling a bit stagnant, being home with Edi is a joy and a luxury-but your brain and your patience are thinly used. So in part to the four leaf clover and in larger part to her having to gone to bed early, here I am again. Unfortunately, all that I had complained about in the past about the growing religious movement in Istanbul has come to pass in full force. I am saddened and in part afraid to see what has happened to a city which is dear to me. We will be visiting this summer for a few days, but with the volatile situation I'm nervous to wander too far..looking forward to some sea and sun..I am lucky enough to have a few students, and always in trying to explain my past life, it sounds slightly bizarre..

My life is not linear,
so do not try to presume a straight path.
it folds and turns upon itself,
at times leading no where, at times afloat.
in search of answers to questions, un asked
yet known..
how did i get here- in the end,
i cannot say,
the path one travels is a journey-
to the end of what,
who knows..
but I am grateful for the journey
for it lets me be...me.
