My First Friend

That was the first time ever when I asked someone to become my friend and I remember it clearly. At the age of two and a half the perception and understandiung of the difference between diverse and unique life-forms is amazingly not very profound - which is a beautiful thing in itself because it allows for simple communication. But since that time I like very tall people with a wide open face and a broad grin.

LONG FRIENDSHIP

There was FRIENDSHIP,

I only saw it from far

But I could feel it was long and old.

I Want Summer Back

A Short Pictorial Story Of A Southern Summer, Back Then

I want summer back, summer of last year.

I want summer back of last year,
when we were two with hair salty and blonde 

and we smelled of the sea

summer of last year, at the border up north

I want the summer back,
when we lived in that crazy place on the beach.

 I really miss summer of last year, now that I am here. 

There the sand was burning hot.

Until the sun fell into the dark Cassuarina trees like a ripe plum
to just leave us with a long night to talk. Every night

We talked about love, love, love and about life.
Told us how we wanted to do much more.
More and always more with our lives.
Like a good poem that gets stronger and finds more power in the end.

And my friends skin shimmered just like gold

The blue-ass monkeys stole our food,

while we watched the sea until our eyes were all ablaze and mother of pearl was all we saw.

We ate prawns by day and night

listened to music, drank and danced on the beach

until sometimes we lost completely our minds in a couple of hot summer nights

I really miss summer of last year when we were afraid of the trees at night

After all the sun and wine, they looked to us like creatures from a different time.!

Yes, I really do miss my friend and summer of last year, 

when the jackal was around.

A place with a view

Friday afternoon 17.00

The week is over and it is a good day. I am spending the afternoon with my friends at their house in Blue Bend, sitting on the balcony, lucky enough to have a bottle of champagne to kill. And looking through seamless glass - at this. Even though the sun is hiding it is beautiful. It is low tide and all the sandbanks in the river mouth are visible. Life is good.

Sirius the golden retriever is happy too, enjoying the cool breeze. It is nice to have animals around. And one of the nicest views in town.

Places like this with an undisturbed view are not easy to find any more and every second has to be enjoyed. They are even more difficult to buy or rent.

Yes it is a good day. And I have decided long time ago that every day is a good day. Every day give me hundreds of minutes and thousands of seconds to make my choices and decide for myself what I want.

Close to the river-mouth lies the popular Blue Lagoon Hotel with a similar view and a nice pub that fills up every Friday afternoon.



The men in black: they are tired and exhausted from eating all our potato chips. The blind cat Isis has bitten me twice because he thought my finger was a potato chip.

On the other side in the distance behind the green hills is Nahoon Beach, a famous surfing spot.

Nahoon-mouth a beautiful area to live, close to the river and the beach.

SOOOO Tired
