The #ink I write with
is magic ink. It can
conjure up moments
of beauty, joy, solace
and calm. It can anchor
memories in time &
space & it can help
me understand.
This ink I write with
is magic ink.

Thank you! 🙏

I've known this #pain
for so long now,
we are finally
on first name terms.
At night, we whisper
to each other like
old lovers.

I can't imagine how
it would be without her.
But then again,
there are still many
parts of my body
left to choose from.

Souling with my daughter’s birth

#vss365 soul (as verb)
What if #soul was not a noun
but a verb?

Would you soul with me?

Do I soul with my students?

You should soul at least 15 minutes every day.

I soul you!

I am happy my poem souled with you. 💙

we soul ourselves awake

Not the worst dream visitor 😉

Which also reminds me: Wasn't there a dream scene with a penguin in Fight Club?

... & there stood a #guardian
in front of your heart
(did he really look like your father?),
baring the way with his halbert.
How do I charm my way past him:
Poker, poetry or home improvement?
(Maybe we could discuss
my cliched view of the world...

Als Morgengruß liest heute James Joyce (2. Februar 1882 – 13. Januar 1941) höchstpersönlich aus Finnegans Wake. youtu.be/M8kFqiv8Vww °
James Joyce Reading Finnegans Wake (w/Subtitles)
This is an animation i made of James Joyce's bust in Stephens Green, Dublin. The same audio is on youtube already but it doesn't have subtitles so i figured it would make more sense to have a version with the words included since you're missing half the story if you listen to the audio just by itsel

A powerful tune!

(Before the song, they showed me a commercial for a anti-dandruff shampoo (scales are falling) - made me smile 😉)

I also know the part about the wrong lane. Also haven't had one of those in a while. Lately, I'm normally the co-driver - just like in normal life. 😉

I saw it on a very interesting documentary. It was very surprising to see penguins run through a forest.
The species is called Magellan penguin. 🐧

& in a dream, I raced
through the streets
of a rollercoaster town
in a Mini Cooper -
never mind that I was
sometimes in the drivers seat
& sometimes on the back bench
or that I actually don't know
how to drive at all...
