My message in a bottle

The Dead Bunnies

, , ,



Today at my job was a day of sorrow. Two bunny kittens died - with only a few hours' interval.

Of course the kids who looked after the particular bunnies were close to devastated. They cried, I comforted as I could best, telling them about nature's ways and that everything would be okay eventually. They asked if there was a such thing as a bunny heaven? I had a second to think it over and said yes, I believe there is.

Then, after the burial and after having crafted two crosses and written on them, the girls made a prayer which was said simultaneously and in which they prayed that God would see to it that there would be sufficient amounts of carrots and green grass in Heaven?

At that point I was touched, too.

Summer's End

, ,



We had the first touch of frost. Leaves are all yellow and brown. Nature is preparing to die.

Still one brave rose in my beloved garden is holding it's head high - after the frost and a night's rain looking even better than ever. I guess it is with roses like it is with us humans - obstacles add character to the individual.

Either way, I felt a connection with my rose.

The Olympics didn't come to USA, but Oprah came to Denmark

,

As Barack Obama, president of the US, was recently traveling to Denmark, trying to convince everybody that the Olympics should be placed in Chicago, Oprah Winfrey used the occasion to make a show about Denmark, since she was here also and didn't want to waste her time.

This is apparently part of a series called "How Other People Live".

As a navel-gazer I find this view from the outside pretty interesting - as superficial yet precise as things like this tend to be.

Even though I shake my head in desperation once or twice while watching the show, I find this portrait of my small nation good enough to qualify for an initial insight for the ones interested in Denmark. The show is recorded in the capital city, København, but could just as well be recorded in Aarhus, my city - the 2nd city of Denmark.






Why is it, that........

One should think that getting older would mean that you'd be a wiser and better person. I don't think so. I know I ain't getting better, and I very much doubt that I am getting any wiser.

I don't mean having answers to everything imaginable - like how somebody managed to place the sign saying 'Do Not Walk On Grass' in th middle of the lawn down at the park? Or why a 7-11 that's open 24-7 and 365 days a year have locks on the doors? I talk about the ability to understand the basics of life. Things that matter - like why it seems that whenever you have solved one major problem in your life, there's another one coming up, even more difficult, a short time after?

Or why it is, that almost everyone in power in society can't seem to handle that power. Why is it that people tend to become corrupt and inhuman when given power?

The one that bothers me the most is, why people behaving most inhuman seems to be rewarded by their fellow human beings?

Today it seems like getting older doesn't mean getting wiser or better - it just means getting older.

Baaah. I guess today ain't my day exactly.

Take The Load Off

, , ,

Nice to come by a device in the city that isn't meant to break any speed record.

In fact it wasn't only nice; it was very funny to see people in haste running along the walls in the hunt for money, fame and success totally ignoring this thing just standing there as a reminder of what life is also about.

I wonder if anybody but me saw this as a call for doing what is necessary? I sat down. Smiled for myself. Stood up, took a photo and sat down again.

I must admit that this low-tech gadget saved my day.



Wonder if it's still there?
