It probably started
in a whisper, a murmur,
a low tone hardly caught by the papers,
a sticker, a poster,

A king had a scary dream. He dreamt that all his teeth fell out, one after the other.
I admit it; I can be a smartass. I didn’t plan on becoming one, it just happened. It’s like an internal force is guiding me to open my mouth right then and there, and there is nothing I can do about it.
The Republican convention starts today in Cleveland, Ohio, just a couple of hours further north from my home. Protesters are gathered outside, they are all there to demonstrate against Donald Trump, and I wish I would live closer. I am older and wiser now -my protesting years are over since a long time- but in this case, I would make an exception.
My oldest Godchild is getting married and I have the honor to give a speech at the wedding.
His Mom was my best friend and today, more than ever, do I wish she still would be with us, so we could work on this speech together.
I was once sitting there myself, like you do today, and I too listened to adults and their speeches and some of the people seemed to be so disconnected that I always wondered if they still understood the youth. I was so young and they seemed so old, maybe that’s the way you look at me today as well.
I have a secret love affair with a man, ever since I was a child. It’s strictly platonic and very one-sided. He never knew me, but I know almost everything about him.
The world celebrates Nelson Mandela today on his Birthday. It’s an international day of remembrance in honor of a great man. Thousands of South Africans are celebrating the former South African President’s Birthday today, by giving 67 minutes of their time to help other people.
IF the local or national government accomplishes one thing this year -I had to laugh about this one. We already question that they might just get “one” thing right, it’s pretty sad when you think about it. God forbid they have deal with more than one issue.
I always wanted to meet an extraterrestrial creature and I am delighted, they finally showed up in the boonies in Ohio, who would have thought. Not just that, this creature is asking me for help to understand us humans here on planet Earth. He came to the wrong person. How can I explain something that I can’t understand myself?
