as for my part
some friends say
listen, you!
better don't go there
better don't take this way
calling me fatuous
when they become aware
my path to the unkown
is arduous
if only they knew
if I could make them see
that what is so dear to my heart
has already grown
to be part of me

Kinda Kindred
People seem to think that family love is clearly defined by cognation. Parents, children, brothers, sisters, something like that. Most people do not even realize how lucky they are if that is actually the case. For example, we assume that parents love their children and children love their parents, even though we know that this is not necessarily true. Of course, we know also what a devastating effect love that is missing can have, especially on children. And if a family, if parents cannot provide this desperately wanted love, those longing kids, or grown-ups will try to find a substitute. They just cannot help it. It is human nature. Then they might try to give their love to someone they have chosen as a family, and if this love is returned, it will not matter anymore that there is no relation. Because there will be one, call it elective affinity or else. There will be a relation, if it is true and honest, and it will be a very special one. At any time.

Sven!
I was told that once, actor, director and musician Tom Waits was interviewed by a journalist whose best friend, Sven, was a huge fan of Waits's. So after, in behalf of his friend, the journalist would politely ask, if Waits was willing to sign some CD booklets. Waits refused.
In order to persuade him, the journalist said: "But he's got all your records!" Waits then asked for a piece of paper and a pen, inquired the friend's name, wrote a few words, handed the piece of paper over to the journalist and left with a curt goodbye.
When Waits had left, the journalist read: "Sven! I heard you got all my records. I want them back! Tom Waits."

Point of View
When we look at science fiction films that were shot years back, we smile. The clothes, the equipment, everything is so funny, and the reality of our time has overtaken this fictional future long ago.
But I always wonder what will be lauged at in the future, when our time will be the past?
