kijk uit met vuurwerk....ALSTUBLIEFT

 

collect moments, not things

TJA

nothing to show and tell

and on top of it all

upside down

first impression

if you meet somebody for the first time and  you get. a negative first impression

are you going to  look if it's the truth ( for you?) 

or can you only see a fat person?

I found in a book the thought that people can be too proud to change their opinion......

at first sight i see a piece of cloth on a cabin and think...yekkkk

at a closer look, a detail of the cloth, i see how beautiful it is...

is this a good comparison?

where there is ruin there is hope for treasures

often said and actually boring

but my work never fails because there are beautyfull pieces or...

also boring

well..... 

Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. ~ Rumi*

By collecting stuff to be thrown away, my eye catched a little, inimini toadstool. It asked to take a picture from her with a Tovke ( Tovkes are my little creations for luck ). You see the moss reflected in the little mirror? Now the question is what to do with the wood? Hold or letting go?

BBC ....the universe

At the end of à programma about the universe , the man said.....

You are because you have to be.....

Isn't it à beautiful saying?

 

There was a leave, wol, silk and me and this is the result!

Equinox aka autumn

Equinox..............time to be thankfull for the gifts of mother earth

I know, I know

but I miss you so

a feeling I wake up with every day, a feeling so black, a feeling so hard to fight.....
what is the meaning of me participating in life,
but I have to keep in mind that there is a purpose for me
if it's 16.00 I start feeling better
if hub is not at work he tried to talk me out of sadness
now he takes it for granted......it is what it is
depression
for the people around me this is better than a manic episode
every cloud has a silver lining isn't it...

let the past makes us better not bitter

again an alternative weave

wool silk acorns and grass

it's a detail of a tovke ( talisman ) for luck

webbies all the luck in the world for you

and let the past makes us better not bitter

not really an item for the online course ,considering weave ,  from Jude Hill.
but hey is this interwoven or not?
the wool through the silk becomes a beautiful fabric don't you think?

happiness often enters through a door you forgot  it was open

they also serve who only stands and wait

mam went all her life to church and she wants to pray but she wants to do it together with somebody
who is a Christian too. she really is confused and I'm often the object of 
her psychoses so that's is not helping when I try to read her something from the bible
her suspiousness makes her  sometimes angry and when I sit with her to read from bible, she says...you and your talks about god...go away.( by the way my church time is 40 years or so gone)
my friend  Clemy, a former nun, working amongst the poorest people in Nigeria, is a big help here
although she's roman catholic and mam is not , she is wanted for her religieus autority 
this time they talked about a line in a poem from Milton:
they understood each other so wel

they also serve who only stands and wait


.........................

When I consider how my light is spent 
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide, 
And that one talent which is death to hide 
Lodg'd with me useless, though my soul more bent 
To serve therewith my Maker, and present 
My true account, lest he returning chide, 
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?" 
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent 
That murmur, soon replies: "God doth not need 
Either man's work or his own gifts: who best 
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state 
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed 
And post o'er land and ocean without rest: 
They also serve who only stand and wait."

John Milton

explain the pain

aha

the book explain the pain is really really good

but my woman who re validates me is really special!

she lets me do exercises my way and my way has proven 

to be not  succesfull

when it went wrong ( of course) she asked me

what do you need right now and without thinking I said 

TOF

she didn't understood of course but when I explained that Tof was my dog who died a couple of months ago she said...i think she's here to help you?

strangely enough  from all my death love ones i could feel them around me but not Tof

suddenly she said something very special.....

maybe she keeps some distance to let you see you have to look at yourself and  accept yourself as you are 

not angry, not impatient

ok 

i am who i am

it is as it is

the baggie is little but it has not so much to carry

ha! 

( would Jude Hill say)

baggie is full
I'm empty
asking for help......so so difficult
but at last
when it was obvious that help was really necessary, because a walk with the dogs more then 15 minutes was too much
I did ask and revalidation will start again


till later

Das has to celebrate his first birthday without Tovke.....

sometimes the hardest thing  is acting normal


heartbleed virus infected my yahoo account so if you think i'm in trouble don't click links.....I lost a couple of months mail so if you feel neglectid..... sorry..please write me.

once in a while

once in a while nature shows me how life goes on and on but in different forms

it gives me power to accept death

here a flower and seed at the same plant

I took  my iphone while walking with Blaf and Shuka and could show it to you

isn't it beautyfull?

tree

you've seen it all

and more

will you help us

to never

forget them

4 may

the day to remember 

those who died in war

Chuck Palahniuk

Yes, terrible things happen, but sometimes those terrible things.....they save you....

my most favorite day of the year......

 

it's my birthday and I know how childish it is but I love it
I feel loved
lots of presents
naughty isn't it
hihi

Noud
13 maart
2006

..................................translation follows...............

De laatste tijd zit ik wat in de penarie. Het gevolg daarvan  vind ik heel moeilijk, we hebben steeds maar ruzie, mijn lieffie en ik.

De oorzaak is velerlei , de dood van Tovke mijn hond, het manisch depressief zijn waarvan de twee uitingen wel dwars door elkaar te lijken lopen, het jaargetijde (  last van vallende of ontluikende blaadjes schijnt ook bij de ziekte te horen), het immense verdriet van een vriendin, de angst voor mijn moeders angst (Alzheimer gaat met hallucinaties gepaard en die van mijn moeder zijn heel akelig en betreffen vaak mij en mijn zelfmoord pogingen in het verleden), het tijdstip van de dood van Noud, mijn eerste man, de zoveelste ingreep aan mijn kapotte rug die geen baat geeft, pijn pijn pijn, het nutteloos, machteloos, overbodig voelen en het meest.....me schuldig voelen.

Eigenlijk kan ik wel zeggen dat dat het moeilijkste voor mijn omgeving is. Lieffie hoeft maar iets te zeggen en ik voel het als terechtwijzing, voel ik me schuldig dat ik dat veroorzaakt heb, voel ik me schuldig dat ik er überhaupt ben. Liet ik nu maar gewoon alles over me heengaan maar ik word boos en bozer, verdrietig, boos, verdrietig, geïrriteerd, verdrietig en raak tenslotte volledig de weg kwijt .

Gisteren was mijn byzondere, heel byzonder lieve vriendin bij mij om een film te kijken en ze zag een ruzie ontstaan.

Wat ik mijn lieffie nooit hoor zeggen (hij doet het wel maar anders en door de boosheid komt het toch niet aan) zei mijn vriendin wel.............................Yvette, wees nou eens overtuigd dat je een lieve, mooie, goede, grappige, wijze vrouw bent. Je kan het niet voelen want het komt niet aan, op de een of andere manier heb je nooit geleerd dat je er ook mag zijn, dat je er bent en er wat toe doet. Misschien moet je elke dag een engelenkaartje trekken.....(mijn vriendin die echt heel heel erg allergisch is van al dat zweverige....we kregen allemaal de slappe lach....zij die het over engelenkaartjes had...)

Nou ga dan weer je blog schrijven en maak er iets moois van, iets waar je blij van wordt, iets waar je weer wat positiever van wordt.

Lieffie....ik ga je vertrouwen zodat heel heel misschien ik ook op mezelf kan gaan vertrouwen, ik ga luisteren naar wat ik goed doe en weer mooie dingen opzoeken om mooie logjes te schrijven en dan zal ik accepteren dat ik stomme dingen doe en dat daar best iets over gezegd mag worden zonder dat ik er niet meer wil zijn.

sssssssssjjjjjjjjjttttttt

            

in silence, under my soft merino and silk felted cloth, i try to heal from last weeks

it takes a ruïne to find treasures isn't it? 

AUGUSTINUS

Since love grows within, so beauty grows.

for love is the beauty of the soul

the pile of cloth made with love doesn't grow

yet the love grows because little pieces are defined

I try to isolate the pain from my whole life

but sometimes life is so complicated that the power for isolating is poor

webbies....look for love

what who when it shines on

beauty whitin grows!

don't you think?

youyouyouyouyou

friendship

accept me as I am

even if I want space

space to cry 

alone

lets honour each other's needs

you

my friend

Happy New Year
