    Luca's nest


     


    Being a grandmother is an exciting never ending adventure.Everyday busy between work,


    [yes...am still working ...until august...]


    diapers,baby bottles,tears,smiles,laughter,


    lullabies...well...I have very little time left for my little weird moments...


    but am doing fine.


    Still have time to go to church every Sunday and even there I have Kelcy


    following me as my shadow.


    Yenaisis is still a big worry.She's going through a lot of tests to find out


    why she isn't growing...One of the specialists discovered she doesn't hear well...


    and she'll be going through an operation the 22 of april.They're also


    doing a genetic test to see if she has a syndrome that scared us all.


    We hope it's not true...


    I miss my moments here...and all of you...and I really expect to have more


    time after Yenaisis operation...and be in touch with everybody again.


    Take care...be good


    love you

  • Today - big day

    Today I have to go to the main office to talk about my future without A JOB.


    I'm a bit nervous.Mixed feelings are driving me nuts.I want to go on working


    and I don't want to work anymore . It's an opportunity to rest.And my mind wanders


    full of anxiety and worry about a few of those I will have to leave.


    I don't see me staying at home looking at my grandchildren growing up...


    and still my heart desires to have a peaceful life without worrying anymore


    about the rest of the world...


    And so...I have to go to work now...thinking about the interview at 2:00pm


    that will decide my future...without work...


    There's only one thing left: to trust God's plan and have the strength to accept it...

    watching   abandoned children of Bulgaria I started counting my blessings...

  • back to life

    kelcy READING


     


    Kelcy stared at her mother's photo embracing her stepfather


    and after a few minutes of deep thinking she turn to me and said:


    "-Moma...my mom loves Jose very much


    Jose loves mom very much


    They are very happy together...they have each other... moma...


    But ...who do I have ?"


    -silence for a while-


    My hug wasn't enough...Kelcy is now a big part of my life.


    She stays with me from Friday to Sunday night.I take her to school almost everyday before going to work


    and we do a lot of things


    together...like baking bread  on Saturdays or go out looking for nests...


    Last Sunday we went together to church!!!!!Oh yes...am back to church after a 20 year


    free play...I've joined the mormon church...it's helping me a lot.


     


    This was one of the reasons that took me away from my xanga...a very good reason.


    There are many others...being almost jobless is another one...and yea...I'll explain


    everything another day.I have now two weeks vacation...


    my love to everybody

  • full moon inner state


     

     
    Come silver moon
    and jewelled night
    'til I'm caught in your eyes
    Unbroken spell
    as bound by book and bell
    and candle light


    Embrace the dark
    and fade to grey
    beneath this cold standing
    stone

    'Til you and I
    will meet again
    another time and place

    It's only for the day
    and soon the day will fade away

     

    silver moon

     

    when I was five I got my first money...a few cents collecting wood for the baker...with that first money I bought a little clay flute...the music curse...or blessing....who knows ?

    I also got my first pair of shoes...well...not really shoes...klompen.I didn't dare to put them on...and carried them around for a long time under my arms...I didn't want to dirty them.

    I remember getting for my birthday a cup of coffee...which was a luxury then.I felt very adult and rich...drinking that coffee.Candy...there wasn't

    such a thing...my granny used to give me a bit of sugar...and that was taken as the best candy ever.

     

    I remember my childhood with love and tenderness.I love that little girl that still lives in my

    world.

    For many  years I lived with a question with no answer:

    "why did my mother hate me?"

    Now...I understand...she didn't hate me...she just didn't know how to love.

    She was never loved.And my heart melted...and I felt so much love and compassion for my mom.

     right now...I miss you so much mom...I miss the moments we have lost...

    you hating me...and I searching for your love everywhere else...

    will we have the time to make it right mom?

  • turn turn turn


    spring 2006-the hague


     To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    A time to be born, a time to die
    A time to plant, a time to reap
    A time to kill, a time to heal
    A time to laugh, a time to weep

    To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    A time to build up,a time to break down
    A time to dance, a time to mourn
    A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

    To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    A time of love, a time of hate
    A time of war, a time of peace
    A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

    To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    A time to gain, a time to lose
    A time to rend, a time to sew
    A time to love, a time to hate
    A time for peace, I swear its not too late

    [another saturday.another cold morning.winter breath coming slowly by.


    peace.inner peace.


    outside hell flourishing on the streets of the low lands.


     there's something floating in the air altering


    human behavior.there's something floating in the air altering human


    tissues.there's something in the air altering the natural flow of pure


    energy...love.


    my friend Chris waits  to be urgently operated


    in Amsterdam.the carcinoma doesn't wait.it's a matter of individual circumstances


    my friend.some trees are part of a beautiful garden having their own gardener.others


    grow in the wild without special care.


    we are just a bit fed up with the pain and the odor of putrefacted tissues.for the pain


    OxyContin helps.you sleep endlessly the whole day through.it's like having you


    and not having you.but we still hope for a positive result.half of your face will be


    reconstructed...and still 35 days of radiotherapy after surgery.will you be able to hold


    on till the 29th?Ali is so afraid of losing you....and I am so sorry you are not a tree


    from a beautiful rich garden...with a special gardener...to treat you right now.


    it's saturday...peace.]
