New Years 2026 – Portland to Seattle?

Nope. My Portland-Seattle connection was the one flight that was forgotten by god in ever so many ways as I would soon figure out.

Daughter of the planet

Earth won.
Like it won every single soul it held thus far
Like every parent beaming with joy for a newborn
Like every plant winning its first bloom.

Hands in my pockets

I stay still and watch,
Stoically? Not only.
Helplessly.

Boarding passes and Bookmarks

When am reading on a plane there is an obvious candidate for a bookmark. The Boarding Pass. There is a symbiotic relationship between the two, like an egret picking flies off a cow.

20th August 1950

Rumours say that the boy finds one’s problematic tooth in seconds and clasps onto it and persists until the tooth gives up its roots and migrates with his fingers.

I waited for grandma to arrive and give me the only and ultimate validation I sought.

To smile unto silence

Unto a space void of other life
A smile unacknowledged, unreturned,
Unknown to anyone else, unasked for. 
Yet one that I understand the most.
For the chance to smile such a smile, 
I thank my all encompassing solitude.

Linie 6 : Nordhafen

Today I came face to face with the pure goodness that lives inside me, and it brought me to my knees, shaking and unable to bear its revelation without breaking into uncontrollable sobs.
