Perfect Endings...

In good times and bad times, I'll be by your side for ever more...that's what friends are for.

Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life. ~Jean Paul Richter

I(so)wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. ~Gilda Radner

...I guess a perfect ending is an ending of one's own choosing, so in those terms, perhaps this is not a perfect ending, since I would have chosen differently; but very close; Just to walk hand in hand and into the future. Yes, I am a dreamer;
but I enjoyed the many many moments we shared...

But Life is not about endings, but rather beginnings. ..and about the future. It is also about how we enjoyed the ride. I was. I am. I did.

Just promise me....that We will part with a hug, a smile, perhaps a kiss and many many good good words. ...and tea... in Palmovka. ;-)

A pathway to the Vltava....

Doorway to Summer....

Spring is coming....

Spring is coming as can be noted by the high level of the Vltava on this Sunday... many rivers in the southern parts of the Czech Republic have flooded this past week.. The Vltava flows north through Prague and catches much of the water from the south, as the record snows melt throughout the Czech Republic with the milder temps. They even activated the flood gates along the river through Prague as a precaution. ...and then, it is certainly wonderful to see the Greening of Vaclavské náměstí...as one looks toward the National Muzeum.

Rozmitál pod Třemšíem

Absence diminishes little passions...and increases great ones; as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire. ~Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld, translated from French

I will hope our friendship was not little,
that it is not as a candle flame,
easily blown out,
by a small breeze.

I will pray for a firm wind ....
to fan our friendship's flame,
to make it stronger, in my absence,
and in going forward. -asc
jo?

...and look! ...this was French. ;-)))

Happy Birthday little one....

A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar (1298 czech krown) set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm. ~Bill Vaughan

Boy, n.: a noise with dirt on it. ..or chocolate on his face.
