Outsider’s Insights

Dreamt about surfing this night.
Just about two weeks left, before I’ll hitchhike to France or Spain. Not sure where to go exactly, though. Zarautz in Spain is very nice and has a surf-teacher I like a lot. But then again, France is nearer and going back from Spain might prove difficult.
Or I will go to Barcelona at the end of my journey and fly back from there.
I am really looking forward to see the ocean again.
After all, surfing is the perfect combination for meditation and phyiscal exercise at the same time.
Best way to reload my batteries!

what if a much of which of wind

what if a much of which of wind
gives the truth to summer’s lie;
bloodies with dizzying leaves the sun
and yanks immortal stars awry?
Blow king to beggar and queen to seem
(blow friend to fiend: blow space to time)
-when skies are hanged and oceans drowned,
the single secret will still be man

what if a keen of a lean wind flays
screaming hills with sleet and snows:
strangles valleys by ropes of thing
and stifles forests in white ago?
Blow hope to terror;blow seeing to blind
(blow pity to envy and soul to mind)
-whose hearts are mountains, roots are trees,
it’s they shall cry hello to the spring

what if a dawn of a doom of a dream
bites this universe in two,
peels forever out of his grave
and sprinkles nowhere with me and you?
Blow soon to never and never to twice
(blow life to isn’t:blow death to was)
-all nothing’s only our hugest home;
the most who die,the more we live

Started working in the audio library for blind people. I love it. Such a cool kind of work.
There’s just a minor drawback: I am narrating quite a boring book (”Shelter” by Chaz Brenchley).
Probably the library’s protection, so I am not going to destroy a valuable piece of literature.
Got until page 100 today, 220 still to go.

So, the theatre project went well although we just had three performances.
But if demand is high enough in autumn, we might recast one role as my colleague will be in Rome by then and do another set. We’ll see.
It was a good experience to get a whole production off the ground anyway.
And than again, it is very nice just to perform from time to time. Much more relaxing work.
