unintentional rhyme

soft

wrinkled

faded with age

do the words

still have value

though the page

has been turned

many a time

do the rhythms

still have

rhyme

is she all told

old

cold

comfort in

young arms

mean her no

harm

to fall

from above

in love

with youth

and charm

don’t be

alarmed

what i see in your

eyes

doesn’t mean that i’m

wise

only know what i’ve

seen

where i’ve been

and your soul

though it’s old

is still young

fresh

and your flesh

and mine

will always

mesh

till the end of

time

Long Time... No Post

Greetings Gentle Readers... it's been a while.. and in the mean time.. spring has SPRUNG!!! Flowers blooming, buds on trees, birds singing and the short skirts are out (the Prague girls where something a bit larger than a wide belt as a skirt, about 7" to 10" in length). It's odd that they do that given the Easter tradition here.. on Easter Monday, village boys go from door to door demanding Easter eggs, sweets and often shots of slivovice (very STRONG plum liqueur) - they threaten to whip the girls with whips made from braided willow switches, so I am sure that applied with full force, they can leave a nasty welt. But it's all done in good fun.. the girls can retaliate by dumping buckets of water on the boys. It's a fun game and is supposed to guarantee a successful year for the men! I think the pagan origins of this are obvious, men coming to ask women for their eggs... hmmmm. Have been making a real effort to learn the language, it's hard.. the of...

with great power comes great responsibility

for the first time i have realized just how my actions impact others... from people entrusting me with the education of their children.. to dropping into peoples' lives.. it's interesting as i have been aware of this in doing massage, but never really thought about it that much in everyday things.. and suddenly i find myself, impacting others.. maybe it's more apparent here as Prague wears her heart on her sleeve (yes, that's one of the reasons i am feeling so home here!) this realization has made me really think and look at my life.. what i want, what i need.. and how that works into the lives of those around me..

chapter 2 - early october to ........

Ahoj (yup that's how you say hi here, Ahoy!) NOTE: this was written over the course of about 2 weeks!!! sorry for all the weird tenses.. but the Czechs are rubbing off on me! Well, I have survived my TEFL course!!! Basically, if you show up and survive, you get the certification, which is kind of an insult to real teachers. When I think of some of the kids in my course who don't even speak English properly, teaching Czechs English, it's just so sad.... (note, very nice to be typing on an English keyboard, as I am composing this on my laptop to be sent later from a cafe. The Czech keyboards have some different things going on!) Oh other side note, sitting here watching TV and an ad for Jamisons Whiskey was just on... very odd... Czech commericals are very odd or very funny. There is one for Seznam.cz, which is the Czech Yahoo, sort of... anyway, their ad campaign is always to check their first so you will be informed.. so there is this ad with a very well-dressed couple...
