People just die, don’t they? Only recently my brother left this life and I must say I do not fully understand the concept of it. Death I mean. I would have loved to have received a copy of his DNA-string. So in due time, I could simply ressurect him. In whatever form, young or old, … Continue reading How to preserve my own dinosaurs

It’s just a temporary hiatus
Posted on Categories Up close & personalLeave a comment on It’s just a temporary hiatus
Writing under boring and restricting conditions always gives me some sense of purpose. It’s like my brain is continuously surprised by the outcome of my fingers’ wisdom. As it’s obviously my fingertips that blurt out the common sense that my brain did not know it had. But now – recently my elder brother (56) passed … Continue reading It’s just a temporary hiatus

This is going to be a bad news blog because life worries me more than ever. After all, things are not going well for women’s rights, especially in Afghanistan and communication, in terms of openness and understanding, in this world. Somehow, those alarm bells are ringing louder for me, because we are increasingly being taken … Continue reading Those alarm bells are ringing louder
WordPress troubles during the early morning

This morning I was up early. There’s work to be done. And that site had a critical error that I definitely wanted to fix. But yeah, I couldn’t access the FTP. Or even a DirectAdmin. So I installed the File Manager plugin. And renamed the plugin folder, to see if that would still have the … Continue reading WordPress troubles during the early morning

Sometimes, life on this planet blows my mind so much that I don’t dare to feel so bold and happy. Because hey, the downs are very deep, and the ups very high. But why is life so fickle? That, of course, depends a little on the nature of this beast. A little, I said. Only … Continue reading Bold

I’d swear I started blogging because I got angry regularly. That I had experiences, which I would write about in exasperation, either to write it off or to publish one of my infamous Open Letters. Nowadays it strikes me that the topics I could write about drop out with great regularity. Because they are too … Continue reading Anger

In the United Kingdom (UK), a debate has rightly arisen about the safety of women after the disappearance and murder of Sarah Everard. It is estimated that over 70% of all women in the UK have endured (sexual) harassment in public places. That debate now seems to become a painful display and somehow I find … Continue reading Dangerous safety, delusion of the day

The swan spread her wings in shock as the car behind her honked briefly. In the middle of the road, she blocked the path of a few cars, causing a traffic jam, which soon showed a tendency to congestion. The swan took her time, looked around to see if her 4 followers, probably her family, … Continue reading On their way

For days now I have been holding my breath almost continuously. And at any time of such a missed breath, I can dedicate yet another blog post to how happy and relieved I would be if the current US President was “dismissed”. Fortunately many with me. While I am normally absolutely not politically committed, you … Continue reading Dismissed

As I walk, a leaf drifts down slowly from the tree next to me, and at the same time I wonder, if that leaf that gets lost hurts the tree. Apart from the fact that this turbulent weather is all my thing, I suddenly get the urge to hug the tree to make up for … Continue reading Focus
