Solidarity is Humanity!

It is indeed time for the USA to learn and practice compassion and thus and only thus attain true greatness.
President Obama is the greatest beacon of freedom and caring leadership in the world today! It is time to support him for the US and the world to accomplish what is so needed in this young century.

Worrying...

...fretting, almost obsessing, too closely monitoring myself is not going to make me forget that I am a SURVIVOR and will do everything to remain one.
Just saying.
Auch hier, wo Gefahr ist, wächst das Rettende auch. Sorge ist auch Besorgen, mein Leben und unsere Liebe, meine Liebe und unser Leben werde ich ohne Ende besorgen. Und so kann ich erkennen, was IST, wenn ich sage und weiss, dass ich BIN.
Il fallait le dire. La vie n'EST que si nous chérissons la joie intense et tout simple d'être. Je ne suis pas sans soucis, mais je me soucie de ma vie et de mon amour.

Detlef's morning wish ...

This song is the one Detlef picked out for me this morning...
...and I have that lucky star, we both have it, will shine ever more brightly with our love.

Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris: Love and Happiness (live)
And here, the lyrics:
Here's a wishing well
Here's a penny for
Any thought it is
That makes you smile
Every diamond dream
Everything that brings
Love and happiness
To your life

Here's a rabbit's foot
Take it when you go
So you'll always know
You're safe from harm
Wear your ruby shoes
When you're far away
So you'll always stay
Home in your heart

You will always have a lucky star
That shines because of what you are
Even in the deepest dark
Because your aim is true
And if I could only have one wish
Darling, then it would be this
Love and happiness for you

Here's a spinning wheel
Use it once you've learned
There's a way to turn
The straw to gold
Here's a rosary
Count on every bead
With a prayer to keep
The hope you hold

You will always have a lucky star
That shines because of what you are
Even in the deepest dark
Because your aim is true
And if I could only have one wish
Darling, then it would be this
Love and happiness for you
And if I could only have one wish
Darling, then it would be this
Love and happiness for you

Finally arriving ...

L'Éclaircie, by Philippe Sollers, is arriving, an arrival that corresponds with that of my own break in the clouds, a clearing for life and love and thought to open yet more. I greatly look forward to reading it.


Perhaps my life has been painted by Manet, Detlef and I at the picnic, why not? We need artists to show us the beauty of life and love which they see so we can see. Open our eyes, welcome Being and consider the clearing that we humans provide it.

YES, I can...

2012 is a gift I welcome and am grateful for. Yes, I can enoy another twelve months of life; yes, I am well and confident, ever better, ever stronger; yes, I will speak up for all those everywhere who also need a chance, need support, need protection, need encouragement.
There is no turning back, no relinquishing what has been achieved, no doubt, no despair.
There is only hope and thought and love and ongoing life.

And with that, we can ensure freedom and rights for all everywhere...
the right to think, speak, love, and to be cured of illness.
