Of Depths and Shallow Living/Von Tiefen und flachem Leben

In recent years I have often wondered why my/our life seems to be so different to most people’s. We can’t just take politicians’ word; we want to see their actions. We can’t eat animals anymore because it simply feels wrong to eat a living creature that feels and has no say in how it lives…… Continue reading Of Depths and Shallow Living/Von Tiefen und flachem Leben

Write like No One is reading it/Schreibe, als ob es niemand lesen wuerde

Happy Wednesday. I love a good quote, and a good quote by a writer is even better. Coleen used to have a “Writers Quote Wednesday”, and I thought I might revive the idea. If anyone else is interested, I’ll make a blog thing of it. “I would advise any beginning writer to write the first…… Continue reading Write like No One is reading it/Schreibe, als ob es niemand lesen wuerde

Oscar about Mothers/Oskar ueber Muetter

Happy Wednesday, dear people of the blogosphere. I hope you have a good morning, afternoon or evening. It’s night when I write this, and I have my mother’s wrap around my shoulders.

How the story ends/Wie die Geschichte ended

Joyous Monday, dear friends. I am sending you healing energy and hope you are all well and, if not, that you have all the help that you need. I was watching The Witcher Blood Origin, and one of the characters said: Control the story, control the world! And isn’t that what’s happening currently? The world…… Continue reading How the story ends/Wie die Geschichte ended

Refillable Glass/Wiederauffuellbares Glas

Is it Monday again??? Woah! No mention of time flying this week, though. We are talking glasses. Half-full ones or half-empty ones. The quote made me laugh because that is exactly what I always thought. And I just wonder if I have shared this one already? Maybe but I can’t be bothered to check, so…… Continue reading Refillable Glass/Wiederauffuellbares Glas

No or yes/Nein oder Ja

Happy Monday, peeps, despite everything. You rock, and I know I repeat myself, but I feel it’s important to keep telling you. There are many wise quotes out there by Eleanor Roosevelt. I don’t know much about her, but I want to research and learn more. I think we allow too many people to stop…… Continue reading No or yes/Nein oder Ja

Wounds into Wisdom/Wunden zu Weisheit

Happy new week, all of you lovely people; I hope you are well and that the weather is not playing too many tricks on you. It has been a little all over the place here in Leitrim, but we take what we get and roll with it. I love Oprah’s quote, and I have always…… Continue reading Wounds into Wisdom/Wunden zu Weisheit
