What do you wish to immerse yourself in?

Ha, I had to look up the word "immerse". And I like what it means. Which leads me to the first thing, I really want to immerse in:

The English language

Ok, I am doing this since I am 10 and I am doing this in a big way since 2 years and I am now leading -thanks to www- a really bilingual life.
But there are so many many things to discover, alle these words and expressions, the tricks and games, it's so much fun to learn a language, to open more and more doors.

Sometimes it leads me to really spiritual experiences with words.
I stumbled over the word: coconspirators lately.
Not knowing the word conspirators, I read cocon-spirators. And I thought: oh cocon might be the American way of writing "cocoon". And spirators has somethings to do with spirit. So I had this image in my head of someone who wraps you in a cocoon of spiritual thigs or just of a certain kind of spirit.
Lovely! Language does get more sensual this way.

Another thing is

music

Staying in the image of the cocoon, I love to wrap myself up in good music. And thanks to www, the juke box filled with EVERYTHING is open day and night! :) How great is that!


Have a joyful day today, hope your wishes all come true! xox

Wishcasting Wednesday "What do you wish to try?"

Just now –as almost always- I am longing so much for being somewhere else.
I am one of many people who feel they have chosen the wrong country for their birth. What am I doing here in Germany, the most square headed country in the world?!
Where (I am quoting a David Sylvian song here)
„everythings neat and compact
and not much to shout about
but winter is breaking inside of me“.

And in my head and heart I am long for a place with wild, warm, laughing energy, filled with inspiration and a beautiful language, a land with an easy going flow...
(Where ever that may be- haha.)

BUT, I am here now. As I have not managed to live in another country yet, I will TRY to see the place I live in with other eyes.
It’s nice here. I have a house of my own. It’s old and full of mistakes, but it has a nice personality. It gives me peace.
It’s my base camp for dreams that go out in the world. Here is the place my daughter has lived for nearly her whole life. This place holds the story of a little girl growing up very close to nature.
I live on land, no neighbours, I am totally free to do whatever I want and my daughter too. I have chosen that for now. And maybe one day (and this is my wish) I will manage to live in London for a while, in New York City or Melbourne, in an inspiring city or in a beautiful landscape with nice people all around me.

For now I try to be grateful for what I have.

What do you wish for the world?

OMG, I haven't been here for ages!

But now I am back.

Back to wishcasting wednesday with the question: What do you wish for the world?

I think, in the last days, we all have felt how fragile our civilisation is. We all depend on energy and we use far too much from it.
As you may have heard, Germany has switched off 7 nucelar power stations, after they have told us only a few weeks ago, they are completely safe. But elections are coming and this is not politicans being concerned about the people in their county, but about being elected.
Oh yes, Angela Merkel, she is a woman. But she is not a mother. And it seems she has lost all her womanly wisdom. (Or had never had it)
I wish for the world, that we have more politicians, that are mothers too, caring mothers, daughters of mother earth, equipped with their full senses and willing to stop this madness.
Because civilisation as we know it now is madness.
We put nuclear power stations on earthquaking ground. We do not care. We exploit all our ressorces. We do not care. We tread the earth, as if we had a second one in the trunk. (Who said that? I can't remember now, but it's a famous quote from the 80's)

I think Japan is a wake-up call for everyone. Let's take it to heart!

Wishcasting: What do you want to shed?

Wishcasting Wednesday

I always loved this line „sometimes you have to shed your skin to save it“. It’s from the book „Kissing the witch“ by Emma Donoghue.

Maybe it’s what I want: to shed my skin. Just leave all this (what ever all this is) behind und start anew.
Leave this boring grey country, that never was my own. Really, Germany, the most boring and grey country in the world. Leave this body, that seems to be more a challenge then a temple. And leave that old me behind and become a new one.
Ok, allright, I know, this is too much, it’s over the top. We all have to...have to what...be modest, oh come on!
I wanna shed my skin to save it. It sounds thrilling good. I know it’s what woman always do, with each moon blood, which each step further to ourselves and whenever we reclaim something that belonged to us since such a long time!

Happiness on a Friday (5-7-2010)

OMG, I haven’t been here for such a long time. But now it’s time to share my happiness.

So here is a list of my happy things:

The little squint that babies‘ eyes have
Goat milk soap
Sitting in the garden, plucking the wool for spinning it afterwards

Books and/or pencils with a smell
To cite from a book or film and your partner knows „It’s from....“
The word paloma which means dove and this song from the movie „Hable con ella- Talk to her“

Being tucked right in
Brown wrapping paper
Sitting in the sun with eyes closed
The Icelandics saying „bless, bless“ when they mean „good bye“
Skylarks

Happy Friday- 3-19

Today it’s a song I would like to share with you as my happiness.
It’s one of the most beautifuls songs I have ever listened to.
It’s by a band called "Madredeus" from Portugal.

A friend of mine made this video out of the photos he has taken for which I wrote poems two years ago.
So please enjoy both. But be careful, this voice really will drive you to tears.




A happy week to everyone!

What do you wish to pay attention to?

My entry today is about love.
It’s how deep my hunger is for being loved just as I am, not for the things I do or if I behave like one wants to have me.

I wish to pay attention to just be and be loved therefore.
No obligations to become somebody else.
I want somebody I can met eye to eye.
Who feels the same.
Who wants to live with his whole heart.
Who sees ME and not what I should be.

I wish to pay attention to the symbols in my life, that show me where I stand.

I wish to pay attention to be a good role model for my daughter.
The woman who cherishes her own feminity, her own womanly wisdom, not the one who is always stretching to fit in.
I know I am paying attention to the things my daughter can teach me. I see myself mirrored in her. She is so strong, so deep, so full of wonders, so down to earth.

I wish to pay attention not to leave the path, every woman should stay on:
Self respect
Love and self love
Inner work
Freedom (and letting go)
Connection
Going with the flow

I wish to pay attention, that my hunger for being loved never makes me leave this womanly path.

Thanks for reading.
