CIRCLE WITH A DOT

13th MarchWildIn the blueAnd the whiteAnd the fox red huesOf the wakening mountainThe lapwings danceIn tumultuous airsSpiralling skywardsAnd dropping like ragsHe high in the skyShe down to the meadowTo a placeBeyond where I can knowTogether in movementApart from themselvesIn flow, always in flowLove from a distanceAlways a questionNever still, never certainThis wild weatherWould tear them apartBut always a threadTo keep them together.#poetry

Dark timesWe wander in darkness alone,surrounded only by gloom,as we encounter each other,we feel the deep rift between us.Nothing but fear and anger surround us -penetrating, squashing, tormenting us,almost suffocating our last bit of courage,and leaving us barely unable to choose anything lighthearted anymore.Neither light, nor a drop of hope left,and yet we do not give up.We long for a new tomorrow, full of solace, while looking up at the stars.With tears of anticipation on our faces,with love songs on our lips.For this darkness cannot break us,nor can it void our yearning for peace.Feel the lightlessness, and the depth of the gloom, meet your friends' hands through the dusk, trust in our togetherness with each other,and all the walls will fall.#TranslationThursday #translation #poetry #poetryisnotdead #weltschmerz #darktimes #hopeTranslation of my poem 'Düstere Zeiten' from yesterday. Self-translated. Tried to capture the essence of the feeling.

In the end, I wimped out and instead of just thinning, separated my tangled seedlings carefully among 4 trays and 4 pots. Now I have 40 viable Italian finger pepper (twisty chili) seedlings growing and room for max 2–4 chili plants in my garden when the spring comes (unless I abandon everything else), so I'm trying to find other suckers gardeners to take some from me.I'm make a lousy heartless Greek or Norse god.#gardening #Ottawa #peppers #chilis
