My Abbys

I hike, I climbed the mountains like a goat. I skied fearlessly down black diamond slopes, yet I am not good with heights. Put me on a ladder and I will climb up like the wind, coming down, that’s a different story.

Happy New Near

“I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return.

Daydreaming

We all  know the feeling when the rest of world around us just disappears, when we sit there in silence, in our favorite chair and we start daydreaming.

Footprints on my soul

They walk through my dreams every night

Haunting, silent, an essence just beyond reach

Supplying all I need and yet supplying nothing
