Hawaiian Dolls

These Advent days are busy for the Poor Clare nuns in the convent because it is prayer time. Unless there is something absolutely urgent silence is required and they will not answer any calls from the outside. Then there is also the cake preparation. Selling cakes is a good source of income and all the…

The final departure 2/2

Part 2 Kyrta’s mother had written a long text to be read at the ceremony. Nonetheless she said she was unable to read it aloud. Kyrta knew no one else would be able to do it. The text was all about her father’s life story. It seemed so important for her to pay him this…

The final departure 1/2

Part 1 You will not always enjoy the company of the people for whom you care most. Some of us will die sooner, others later. That illness took Kyrta’s father away too soon but he died peacefully and without any suffering while she and her mother were taking turns to hold his hand. The words…

A Review Of This Way To The End – A Book By Mario Savioni

I loved reading this book. I just find it fascinating, feel wrapped up in it, think, feel and taste every poem and short story which I see as being mainly about the individual’s eternal search for truth and beauty. I think this would be the central topic of the book as we start to read…

Yes, she projected this idea of a romantic hero onto Ian and became incessant (indesinenter in ancient Latin). She almost began to stalk him somehow. No, she does not like…

Left and Felt: Three Abnormal Women?

In this silent night the ripples of the lake come and go like sisters Left and Felt who intermingle in our ephemeral lives where all seas and mountains finally meet, where tomorrow’s already today’s yesterday of three women I encountered in their journey. The first, Laura, began to speak of Left and Felt: Two concise…

The Teacher Meetings in My Moments

Classes have just finished. After this meeting we will all return to our homes. Another long day’s work. Now I think I would go to the Moments café-restaurant which, by the way, is called as my blog here. Wouldn’t it be great to honor this place as there is such a connection? However this will…

Too much repression for nothing

“Did you read it?” Ismael said. “Yes, you mean this article called The lack of gentle platonic touch by Mark Greene,” said Fèlix. “Yes, she also sent me the link per Whatsapp. It was good to practice my English. It made me think about our society’s values and especially about the role of men. Our…
