I LIVE MY LIFE


I live my life in growing orbits,
which move out over the things of the world.
Perhaps I can never achieve the last,
but that will be my attempt.

I am circling around God, around the ancient tower,
and I have been circling for thousand years,
and still I don't know if I am a falcon, or a storm,
or a great song.

Rainer Maria Rilke
So it is final now. I will live my life for the next weeks or months on a granite island, surrounded by the Atlantic ocean. Maybe I can start my "growing orbits" from there. Solitude, as a beginning point, has its merits.

all the best Zee, let us know when you've returned. Wow, to be able to 'get up and go' ..what a concept. Definitely not in the cards for me at this time..
I will miss you though..
hugs and kisses
Ingrid

Even on a remote granite island, there is the internet today. I don't know if that is a curse or a blessing yet Ingrid!
Anyhow, I will be in touch.

Don't spend too much time on the internet, but post some news now and then. Go within...go without... find Zee.
