...i have a dream...


...to be able to feel pride and alight within the skin i am in, regardless of income, age and job; no matter what’s the past, present or future heading to, as it is all the same uniform we are wearing, it is all the same skin we are in.

...to awake upon a magic carpet ride, taking me far and beyond a thousand days, that seem dark as one single night, into the moring of an everlasting sun, at peace, as it is all the same skin we are in.

...to wear myself as if it were you, to be closed in, without beginning or end, safe, as it is my skin you are in.

You are very profound Robert, but you are right in my way of thinking we do all wear the same skin. I had never thought of that before. It may be different colors and we may be different inside but that is one thing we all have in common. Feeling safe in our skin is important and I do think most of us do.

What a beautiful dream. I wish that it is realized in this lifetime.

I truly believe that you should be proud of yourself, Robert not only in dreams! As for the dream of magic carpet - it's also partly mine:)
Wish you your dreams'll come true and your day will full of sun and peace!

Dear Lucy, thank you very much for your comment. Please excuse me to reply it only todyay - last night I was so very tired, after having a total of six hours sleep after two nights and days.
There are various 'skins' I'd like to wear, others that I can't even think about to touch, still struggeling many times with my own.
Have to admit, that I do feel a bit 'safer' after the vaccination, especially after hearing nearly every day of another student being ill.
Tribble knock upon every piece of wood I can find, that we all remain healthy throughout this wintertime.

Dear Cloudia, thank you very much. Walking through the streets during the last days did lead me many times to the question, what I would do, being someone else.
There are so many different people living right next to me, coming from as far as India, Parkistan or being just Greek. It was only yesterday evening that I saw police taking away, a person who seemed to be 'without papers and dark skined'.
Yes, I was lucky to have still a residents permit, which however will only last two more years...
A well-felt Wednesday wherever you are.

Dear Rei, allow me to thank you very much for your words, years since last heard anything alike, which made my heart skip a beat...so nice to read...so grateful too. A wonderful Wednesday for you.

Dear Louciao, thank you very much for your comment. Maybe just the time of the year, but lately 'have' to think about so much I'd like to have realised, at least throughout this lifetime.
With regard to language (the 'wouw', it would be nice to be able to create a new language, praising those nice things I see/hear and feel, your photography included.)
A very nice Wednesday for you.

Dear Joo, thank you very much for your comment. There are so many days when I ask myself what would I be if I would have said 'yes' to the offer to move to Piaseczno, how would I feel inside then. To be honest it was indeed a decision taken in matter of days and it seems that it still is able to keep me thinking of it, after years, as the last posts are having this thought 'between the lines'.
It was the rain that I felt today that gave me peace of mind. A wonderful Wednesday for you.

Dear Manuela, thank you very much for your kind words. As I am aware of the value dreams and sleep hold, allow me to try my best to dream you a wonderful dream throughout my night, which seems to be already your day.

Liebe Roxana, kann man Gedanken tragen, so wie Kleidung? werden sie wärmen, so wie der Pullover aus ungekämmter Wolle, den wir so gerne tragen? können sie erhellen, selbst noch den Tag? wenn ich bewegte Äste seh - sind sie da und tun all das.

Dear Sherry&Jack, thank you very much for your comment. It is my honest hope that I did not write anything wrong ! Still enjoying the adventures life you are writing about, travelling near and far, in the company of what seems to be much love.
A wonderful Wednesday for you all.

Misalyn hat gesagt…

You make me feel like dreaming in a daylight. Your words are always written poetically.

robert hat gesagt…

Dear Misalyn, thank you very much for your kind words. It is currently, maybe due to the time of year, of much delight to dream at day's light.
A wonderful Wednesday for you.

Rachel hat gesagt…

Robert, mögen deine Träume nie ausgehen, mögen sie in dir wohnen, dich immer wieder ins Leben werfen mit dem Gefühl, so könnte es sein, irgendwann wird es so sein wie in meinen Träumen...

herzlichst, Rachel

Phoebe Miriah Kirby hat gesagt…

I dream that as well, Robert.
