Posted Leave a commentPosted in Boys, Childhood, Parents, People, Switzerland

    Bathroom at 6.45 a.m.:  Big boy:          “Why do you look at me this way?” Little boy:      “What’s the problem?” Big boy:          “Stop starring at me.” Little boy:      “Did you get up with the wrong foot?” Big boy:          “You look terrible today.” Little boy:      “You’re in such a bad mood.” Big […]

Jealousy

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Boys, Childhood, People, Switzerland, Thinking

    Little boy is a very sunny, caring and clever kid, and his self-confidence is big. I often tell him how great he is. For example, during his violin lesson he is talking without fear telling his teacher why it has been difficult to rehearse, why it has been easy to play this way […]

Meeting the old lady

Posted 1 CommentPosted in People, Thinking

  She is an 86-year-old lady: proud and brilliant. Her body is fragile, but her mind is rather strong. Before I met Olga Charova, she has been lying in bed for three months, being very sick and loosing a lot of weight. I didn’t expect her to leave her home and to come to the […]

Attraction

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Boys, People, Thinking

  Clouds are like humans or humans are like clouds. Some are attracting each other like in the picture and some try to stay away from each other. Today, my younger boy and me met a doctor at the children hospital and felt both the same way very attracted to this young woman. She explained […]

Playing myself

Posted Leave a commentPosted in People, Thinking

  My kid played the role of the Puss in the boots. It is a wonderful fairy tale about having nothing and getting everything. The only condition is to play well your role. Well, I admit this is a rather simple interpretation of the story. But it seems to fit to a program I encountered […]

Real friends

  We didn’t have a lot of space in our friend’s kitchen because it was their living and sleeping room at the same time. But it felt extremely cozy and my boys loved it. Nobody’s kitchen tasted better than Karma’s. Was it because the preparation and cooking took hours while we were talking, playing games, […]

Too many pictures

Posted 1 CommentPosted in Childhood, People, Thinking

  I see myself from the outside; I see myself from the inside. I am standing in between. It isn’t me what I see. I am different. You look at me and you recognize me. I am trying the same thing: I would like to recognize me. But I always get a different picture. I’d […]

Big picture with holes

Posted 1 CommentPosted in People, Switzerland, Thinking

  Is it better to be concentrated on the moment and the details in life? Or is it worthwhile to have the big picture in mind? When I see the big picture, I see all the details which aren’t the way I would like to have them to be. It is like a Swiss cheese […]

A long tightrope walk

Posted 8 CommentsPosted in People, Switzerland, Thinking

  Being a member of a society, being part of a team at work, being a member of a family, being a tiny part of a bigger organization means adapting oneself to the others. If I don’t feel like doing it, the sooner or later I get the information, I am not accepted by the […]

Caring

  Two days on this Indian train. An exciting journey from New Delhi to Kerala. So many different people, old and young ones, talkative and silent people. Being busy with themselves or interested in getting to know others. The most touching picture I took with me was this flower garland. Someone fixed it to protect […]
