Words

My words are all colours
I see them in greens and blues and reds and yellows.

A Green is for midsummer’s eve
A White is for a flower
A Blue is for you

And for me, I have TRUE.

“Truer” are the truths of hope
loaded with the guns of love.

Writing

“There is anger and passion and love–and sometimes these three things are very much alike; often the same – in the writing of anything. Writing is a means of recovering and also of avenging. Words become the hooks by which you reach out to reclaim people and times and emotions.” – Arthur Miller

Art – Emil Holárek (1867-1919), An Artist’s dream.

Story

The story in the beginning
is always hard…
Then you cannot escape it.
It coils around you deeper and deeper
and burns with words
Unwritten.
……………………………………………………
I met him one shiny wintry day
My heart was as confused as the weather….

Ivan Fedorovich Choultse

Blooming chart

My blooming chart says Love is not Love

that could not resist the flowers to seed, bloom, bask in the moon, wither in the wind

and wait patiently in the ground more agains than springs…

Quote

“There is something about words.
In expert hands, manipulated deftly,
they take you prisoner.
Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk,
and when you are so enthralled you cannot move,
they pierce your skin,
enter your blood, numb your thoughts.
Inside you they work their magic.”
~ Diane Setterfield

It is not what you do, but why you do it

“It is not what you do, but why you do it”. I have glimpsed* this in The Game of Thrones.

In marketing the saying goes that people buy “why you do it“, not what you do.

I do what I am keen on, so I do what I do because It is my passion…

What do I do?

Primarily I Teach…I explain and simplify.

Secondarily I listen to people, to their difficulties, challenges, shortcomings, jokes, ideas…Then I explain & write a syllabus.

Then I write more. English poems and stuff…

English is like a shelter, a haven** full of nice words and safe simple sentences… English is easy, if you get to its structure and beauty…

For example, Past Tense Simple is a past tense and Present PerfectTense is a present tense***.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Create a place of your own and in there, everything must be You:

  • your passions
  • your ideas
  • your dreams
  • your desires
  • your projects
  • your hopes…

For me, this place is called my Job.

*glimpse = to see somebody/something for a moment, but not very clearly.

**haven = a place that is safe and peaceful where people or animals are protected.
