Farewell my Friend

The conversation with my friend didn’t go the way I was hoping for. It felt odd, and it made me realize that we have drifted apart during the last months. 

Have you just forgotten to be Happy?

I follow so many bloggers who seem to be struggling with their own identity. “I feel lost,” that’s a statement I have read over and over. It always makes me wonder what happened to them. How can you get lost, if you are always there?

What…I am Mortal?

 

Sooner or later there comes a day when we realize that we are mortal. One day we will be gone. “Game over” and I think it frightens us at first.

Will people remember me? What legacy do I leave behind?

The unusual Wedding Speech

My oldest Godchild is getting married and I have the honor to give a speech at the wedding.

His Mom was my best friend and today, more than ever, do I wish she still would be with us, so we could work on this speech together.

Trump and Yertle, that’s what I see

 

 

Theodor Seuss Geisel, an editorial cartoonist, published 1942 a small cartoon in a New York newspaper with the words “You Can’t Build A Substantial V Out of Turtles.” The cartoon showed a pile of turtles and was signed by Dr. Suess, who later stated, that Yertle represented Adolf Hitler, who was trying to takeover various parts in Europe. “Yertle the Turtle,” the book was published years later, in 1958 and became a bestselling children’s book.
