My Moment

Posted on by

They say time is a healer perhaps it’s true but it doesn’t make things easier. I don’t know why but I’m having difficulties this year on this particular day. I know my aunt is feeling exactly the same way today. I know she is giving me space but I also know that if I wanted to I could call her and we probably would both be in tears and probably both would be laughing about silly memories that we would share after the tears.

I also know she will probably call me tomorrow because she does each year for five years in a row now. I never asked her to do that, she just does. She won’t be upset if I wouldn’t answer the phone because she realises I probably wouldn’t feel like talking, but she will call, just to let me know that she’s there for me. Yes time might be a healer but certain things I wouldn’t want to forget; they mean the world to me…

Even after six years, I still miss my Dad…

And today like each year I’ll have my moment of respect.

Shower Of Leaves

Posted on by

I appreciate art but not all art, some I find appalling but I do appreciate the kind that puts a smile on my face. Especially when an adult artist is able to nurture the child within -through his art- that many seem to forget about when they grow older and therefore most likely grow grumpier *hehe*. Tadashi Kawamata is a Japanese artist who opened his latest art project in Madison Square Park in New York after visiting Europe’s Norway, France and Switzerland.

You should really check out this video where one grumpy thinks tree huts are outrageous and not art. She is ‘upset’ and says ‘it better not harm the trees’ *LOL* So typical… Poor woman: I hope that one day she will find herself sitting high in a tree hut at age 80 when she realises that there is more to life than a grumpy attitude, perhaps she will be able to finally enjoy the view from up there knowing what she missed out on all those years ever since childhood…

There’s a really nice blog about the tree hut project which is fun to read and there are a few cool slide shows and pictures to be found as well. Be silly and don’t forget to nurture the child in you, go out to a forest or park and have an autumn leaves shower: I’m very positive that the trees won’t mind, they will probably encourage you!
