Time-Out

Source of image It's time to take a break from my writing. At this moment, it feels that I (may) have reached the end of my journey in writing. My mission might be fulfilled. Moreover, I need to focus on personal matters. Perhaps, my inspiration will disagree. For now, I need to take a time-out from my writing. Note: all markings...

….. and then there were two ………

Since Valentine's Day, I'm no longer single. The unexpected has happened. I think, feel and believe that I have found my (soul) mate. Before meeting each other, we have been talking for very many hours. The 3-dimensional check - see my 2015 blog The 7 Hurdles - has evidenced what I feel.

It had never appeared during my driving lessons. I followed the cars in front of me, and stayed one or two full laps on it. Finally, I dared to exit. In the roundabout of Life, I used a first exit towards Knowledge,...

Ageing means Nothing Really Matters

In 2019, my then-neighbour was sorry to hear about my imminent relocation. At her age (then 98), all her friends and relatives had already passed away. As a helpful neighbour, I provided some sense of security. A year before, she had expressed her regrets for outliving everyone. A few days ago, my mother suddenly said that she had never expected to reach 88 next...
