Gavin Hamilton's "Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus" is one of the most powerful and intense paintings i know and love. you have to see it. no copies in the world could give you an idea of the original in Scotland. and the National Gallery makes sure noone gets copies. not even private prints :( i cannot describe in words how i feel when i stand in front of this painting. it makes me speechless and the gallery around me disappears. it is like someone putting a warm coat around you in the freezing cold. it is thunderstorms. it is getting the ground pulled beneath your feet. it is a deep sensation of burning. and yet. i have seldom felt so uplifted.
Books
i don't really have a "favourite book" but the following i "enjoyed": The Pillowman(Martin McDonagh), Bahnwaerter Thiel(G.Hauptmann), Reclam German Literature books, R.Tagore, Far East Poetry, Paul Celan (Von Stufe zu Stufe), Rilke, C.Baudelaire, H.Hesse, F.Kafka, The little Prince(A.Exupery), Momo(M.Ende), Brontë sisters, Astrid Lindgren, Betty Blue(P.Djian), Spiegelkanon/Canone Inverso(P.Maurensig), The painted bird(Kocinsky), The Physicists, The Alchemist (value it for its fairly unique existence- very annoying style of writing- in those terms "veronica decides to die" is better), Whatever, Atomised (Michel Houellebe...), The Time Traveller's Wife, Murakami(Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World), Memoirs of a Geisha, Mark Ravenhill, Sarah Kane (Cleansed),The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time maybe, the dictionary, Music at the edge (Colin Lee), Life and Death in Shanghai(Cheng),Born on a blue day, The Quantity Theory Of Insanity (Self,..bits),The Master and Margarita(Mikhail Bulgakov), A Confederacy of Dunces (John Kennedy Toole) ...so much to read!
Heroes
people who inspire me. people that challenge me and make me burn with interesting conversation/thought/writing, where everything flows, where laughter is free and the mind limitless. thinkers who inspire you passionately to DO things and hang on in there.
i don't understand what "heroes" means. ha.
i deeply admire and feel awe for people like Yehudi Menuhin and Martin McDonagh, Sebastião Salgado, Bill Hicks, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr... and the other handful of people who tried to save the soul of humanity and were not afraid to stirr the puppet show and suffer for truth- out of love, love for life and the belief in a universal soul in each and everyone of us. and composers. yes, selected composers of classical music. i owe more than half of my life to Bartolomeo Cristofori of Padua, Antonio Stradivari and whoever invented the violin. Max Von Sydow. i also admire "strong" people.......
by the way i am at the cusp, not just a fish but ram, too. my (t)horns may be round but i know how to use them effectively. i feel this is really important to say. don't ask me why.

travelling! sea, stars, waves, lights...backpack, happy:)
yippieehhhh!!!!!!!;-)
FREE SPIRIT
generous
uncompetitive

the songs playing on here change according to my "musical" moods that change from day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute, sometimes second to second. lighthearted to mellow,
whatever suits my ears.
I W(O)ANDER...
did all sorts of jobs ranging from sound and light operation and stage design etc in theatre to being an assistant to a photographer to bar work, some advertising design and even painting and decorating;-) (all london) to supporting people with learning disabilities or personality disorders etc (edinburgh). still very interested in the creative therapies (in particular music) but am drifting
very much toward model building and old fashioned drawing again- quite obsessed with children book illustration- so anyone needing a good stage hand or some creative input, get in touch.
for the time being all the paths i take keep leading me to caring for others. currently i am something like a mobile nurse :) it is hard sometimes to see people locked in their own bodies, tormented by unbearable pains yet their minds all clear- it is a never ending source of hope and strength. i really enjoy my work and as long as i can make ends meet this way i can not see a more meaningful way of working. in one place i worked recently the clock is always set to 5 to 12.
this is when i realised i put my energies in the right place.
Who I'd like to meet: i have found the love of my life,
the man i want to live and love this life with,
the best friend one could wish for. . .
and someone to share the beauty and the suffering with
of this wonderful, wonderous world.
he has asked me to marry him and my heart spoke to him all the yesses in the world and flew up to every star in the sky and universe that are now endless smiles of a love eternally.
the elephants' eyes in the sky are no more grey, they shine in all colours. enchallah. homre enta. bhebak ana.
creative, imaginative,
interesting, inspiring, loving, passionate and mindful human beings who try their best to live in the present and who still believe in altruistic behaviour- which i believe- when you truly and freely l(o)ive- is natural and competition a foreign word. if you can love life with all its colours and little miracles, then you can love me. if you can face your fears and be sorry with insight, then you are genuine and share a beauty with me that not many people see for being blinded by politics of power over love.
"a human being is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be loved" M.Mayne
openminded and individually thinking people who want to live life to the full from crawling on all fours to climbing mountains, from working doubles to lazing around in the sun AND the other way round -who work for next to nothing if they enjoy what they are doing and that have pillow fights in the street and enjoy reading books as much as watching films. you get the idea.
people who yearn for more genuine friends for and in and to spice up everyday life.
i enjoy deep and meaningful friendships with people from all over the world.
someone who wants to go around and take pics with me on our travels/expeditions/"missons" ( ;-) )..
nice people who are reliable and trustworthy and know how to appreciate this one and only life and know what it means to try and get what they want or keep it, fight for it...
people who have hope and know that,when they have a headache, it will go over.;-)
Do you realise your first full day as a married woman will be my birthday! Really happy for you both. You deserve to sparkle. Oh accidently got no 14 bus other day and ended up by that Park near Newhaven pier we once visited. I really am far too nostalgic. I should live in a Memoryhouse xxxxxxxxx

I needed to swim...erm. I needed the sun erm....Ok... I find that I feel as if I have to make excuses for having gone to Lanzarote for a week ((^_>^).... It was quite interesting to associate the experience with the Houllebecq description of the place ..((^_>^) You're the only person that I know who I think may have read that as well.. ((^_>^)
I enjoyed visiting the Cafe Del Mar to sit and soak in the music - though it actually wasn't much to look at...
I hope that your life continues to be as good for you as it looks from here
Oooh lucky you! I was in Berlin myself in May. I love the city and if you're going to be there for a while that will give me an extra incentive to visit again soon.
I'm happy for whatever and whoever it is that has made you so happy. ((^_>^) Keep sending out those beautiful thoughts. Wishing you a continuingly terrific life ((^_>^)
