Getting Started

I am not presently keeping a diary, but sometimes I feel the need to sit down and write down my feelings. So I decide I will write a diary; I get everything ready, open the book, and then comes the question: where do I start?

Put yourself right in the present. This was my principle when I wrote the diary – to write the things I felt most strongly about that day. Start there and that starts the whole unravelling, because that has roots in the past and it has branches into the future… I chose the event of the day that I felt most strongly about, the most vivid one, the warmest one, the nearest one, the strongest one.

Daughter one

There she comes... usually to have breakfast with me about twice or three times a week. We chat then, and sort of update on our things.
 
I’m just really happy at the way she turned out. No father at home since she was eight (25 now!) and yet so full of life, so full of energy; such a rebel I am happy to observe and encourage.
 
My daughter is involved in the Arts. She studied performing arts while we were living in the United States. She is now creating a theatre group with a bunch of fighters under the influence of  the Theatre of the Oppressed. Not much earning, not  much money involved, but real satisfaction whenever a project succeeds.
 
Suffering too, for you never know which exactly the objectives for life should be. We sort of guess, we sort of venture… and there we are, trying again and again…

Keep trying

Guess I finally got it. Gee, it takes time to get into new technologies!

Now, I’m in! (Hope so!)

Ready

No breathing tonight, as if I had swallowed life all at once and there is no air left for me to inhale, or feel, or live…

But I indeed live, with great intensity, as I wake up this morning ready for the day, again...

Routines

Good Morning Vietnam for my morning exercises. Music helps and it’s pleasant today. There is some time to enjoy and I adore this! I feel a different woman if there is that little space for myself when I just get up. It’s a kind of a luxury I, now and then, enjoy in exchange to my late ending of the day, when my classes finish. Then I am totally exhausted and completely useless.
Let’s go then! Rodney Yee leads my body through some stretching and yoga poses for a little while. When I finish I have  some fruit, a cup of coffee and a bit of bread with something…
 
The house is a bit of a mess. I’ll take care of that too… in a few minutes.
 

Then, I’ll be ready for the day!
