birds in the post

this morning my postman brought a nice present from my new pen pal p from brooklyn. 

(btw my postmen and me became friends since a few weeks... and its good to have your postman as  a friend so he will make sure that even letters with bad hand writing or wrong house numbers arrival safely  !)  

so today by post this wonderful wrapped present arrived:

look! 

and look whats inside!!!

now do you remember my christmas wish list?

and if so do you remember wish number 3? 

wish 3:

a book about birds!

how lucky i am - and how nice from my oversea friend!

what a happy day!

and did you knew:

- The homing pigeon, Cher Ami, lost an eye and a leg while carrying a message in World War I. Cher Ami won the Distinguished Service Cross. Its leg was replaced with a wooden leg.

how can i tell what i think until i see what i say?

last night on my way home i was looking at all these shadows. thinking about how they would transform into black holes. black holes in all kind of shadow shapes ... so, i tried to jump over, run around or  slowly move in other directions to avoid falling into the shadow like black holes - but then.... i saw my own shadow.

young 

this week i was part of a child trust charity in mayfair. 

...

the same day i was dreaming about my children-book and about that next year it will go to print. 

how nice it would be to read your own story to kids.! it must feel magical. 

young + old dream about the same:

 a feeling of "home". 

there are so many things, places and people which makes us feel "home" - but sometimes they are hard to see, feel or to find. sometimes they seem to just not be there... but then this feeling can be found anywhere...! we must just look inside of us.

Your book "Pluto and Charon" explains what keeps the stars apart. Can you explain that briefly?



The system of Pluto and Charon is unusual among planetary systems in that each is tidally locked to the other: Charon always presents the same face to Pluto, and Pluto always presents the same face to Charon. A wonderful image of love. Love is one of the only forces which manages to keep the stars apart  and this is  so beautifully described in the poem by EE Cummings "I carry your heart". 
My book plays with the concept of the two planets and talks about the strongest force, "love".
 "Pluto and Charon" is a love letter to what will "come" and to what has "been".

A Dark Universe

One way to define Humankind could be to describe the whole knowledge it possesses. In this view, every kind of knowledge is equally important, regardless of the paradigm that creates it. We may picture this collective knowledge as a cloud of concepts that self-generates, condensing the surrounding void into new knowledge.

An example of this is dark matter, a concept that exemplifies, almost literally, how knowledge grows by filling voids...

dreaming

this saturday morning every thing started like always:

after i woke up, as usually i ate my müsli with soya milk and one banana...

what i did not knew was that at that exactly moment my friend Ana Montiel woke up from a dream that Owen Pallett was my boyfriend. 

(painting by my friend james trimmer)

what ana did not knew was that at that exact moment i watched my müsli floating in the milk... and dreaming about Nelly being my boyfriend. 

what i did not expected was that dreaming about nelly would be just the start of a wonderful weekend...

a few of the many animals living in the inbox of my e-mail account. 

then and now

then 

when my dear friend corinna and i been seventeen we went together for our first holiday to london 

i remember that we been reading dazed and confused and

dreaming about a life in london ... 

now 

now we are here and

lately we have a lovely sunday ritual which includes late night cakes and long talks about the NOW´s and THEN´s in wonderful hidden places. 

i cant explain you how much i value to spend time with corinna and our friendship over the years...

 she is one of the persons who makes me feel "home"... 

Yesterday i said to corinna: 

Dont you think its funny... if you think about our first journey to london and about now and all.!?

....

the world is big but small on my plate # 1

after talking with rokas about saltibarsciai and other lithuanian food... i thought it would be nice to not always travel so much around the world but to bring the world from time to time to my plate. so today sunday i thought it would be a nice day to invite lithuania on my plate.

so i made some saltibarsciai ( cold beetroot soup) with hot potatoes 

and thyme tee.

and

its a nice feeling to have my tummy filled with lithuania.

Everything being on flames

Burned down

Arrived on the edge of a new page

 hard effort under the heat of a burning sun

without sun care

something got lost:

believe ;

moves mountains

distrust would ve blown it away

the dune

the sand

it would ve been distributed all over the place

but now I stand here in this ash-cloud, crippled wooden proofs of a civilisation, sticking out of this Armaggedon scenario

the vision said yes but the eyes said no and the heart realised:

it was not a monster hiding under our beds, waiting to be deconstructed

it s just the rats tail of a

they went nuts

believe burns mountains

distrust blows sand away

into unknown areas

waiting to be explored
