2012


Nový Rok, Nový Začiatok...

alebo Ďalší Rok, Ďalší Začiatok ?

Slová sú strašne relatívne...

Preto Priatelia v tomto Roku skúsme
viac cítiť než myslieť,
viac veriť než pochybovať
viac snívať než spať...


New Year, New Beginning ...

or is it Another Year, Another Beginning ?

Words are very relative...

And therefore dear Friends in the 2012 let's try to
feel more than think
believe more than doubt
and dream more than sleep...

Pokoj V Duši



Udalosti, stretnutia, myšlienky
posledných pár dní a týždňov
zasa na chvíľu rozvírili hladinu v mojej Duši.

Nieže By v Nej vládol vždy úplný Pokoj
Nehybnosť, Bezvetrie... to nie

Vietor len bezočivo sfúkol Nános opatrne a pracne nakopeného Lístia
žltého, červeného, sivého
a odhalil holú, nepohodlnú ale tým úprimnejšiu Skalu

Mám toľko otázok.
K Sebe
K Životu
K Láske

Počúvam Janku Kirschnerovú a potichučky dumám nad
Pokojom v Duši


Events, Rendezvous and Thoughts of
the past few Days and Weeks
have disturbed the apparent
Stillness and Apathy
that reigned in the Soul.

Like a Stone that falls into the
Silence of an evening Lake,
or like a Snowflake
that has the power of Avalanche
in Herself

The Wind ruthlessly swept away
meticulously accumulated Blankets of Leaves
red, yellow and grey
and uncovered the bare, vulnerable but honest Soul

I have so many Questions.
To Myself.
To Life.
To Love.

I am listening to Janka Kirschner's " Pokoj v Duši "
pondering quietly about the Contentment of my Soul

I' m Only Happy When It Rains...




...I'm only Happy when it's complicated
...and though I know you can't appreciate it
...I'm only happy when it Rains....

Do you remember this song?
I used to love it, and YES I still do

I would not say Only though, but I have to admit
Rain has great Allure for me...
It clears the air, cools the temperature, it lets the pressure off...

Rain/Tears/Rain/Tears....where does one stop and the other begins...

And of course, there is no Rainbow without the Rain, is there?


Na začiatku 90tych rokov Shirley zo skupiny Garbage spievala, že je
... Šťastná IBA keď prší...
....keď sú Veci komlikovanejšie ako komplikované...atď

Nie Každý s tým síce súhlasil/súhlasí ale Ja Áno...
Nepovedala by som síce IBA, ale musím priznať
že Dážd pre mňa svoje Čaro...
Prevonia vzduch, skrotí horúčavy, uvolní nahromadenú energiu...

Dážď a Slzy... Slzy a Dážď
Kde sa jedno končí a druhé začína ?

A samozrejme tak ako bez práce vraj nie sú koláče
tak aj Bez dažďa definitívne NIETO Dúhy...

Můj pes...


... má Duši, 4 Nohy Ocas a Uši,
chlupaté Tělo,
krásné chytré ale tvrdohlavé Čelo...
...Jí jenom Maso a Kosti,
Kouše debilní Hosti,
jinak se chová vhodně
a Já ho MILUJI hodně...

Verili by ste, že je to už ROK
čo k nám "bocian "priniesol nášho Hippinka...
Kliknite na linku a spievajte s Nami...
Nohavica Nášho Hippinka
perfektne vystihol, Však ?

J. Nohavica Můj Pes


My dog...

There is a song by a Czech "Bard"
called Jarek Nohavica...
It was written about our Hippie...
Definitely
It is however, so meticulously appropriate
And above all funny
in Czech
that I don't even dare to try ;-) translating it

I am a bit sad, though, that You,
the English Speakers
cannot fully enjoy it with Us...

There is one sentence in English,
the very last sentence of the Song, though

...My Dog is a Dog Number ONE , Yeah...

Which pretty much sums it up All for You ;-)

P.S. By the way, if you are asking what Is the Occasion,
it has been a YEAR since Hippie came to live with Us.

Nostalgia





Je to len včera, e-mail od tatika a celý vagón spomienok...
Je to len včera, moja bábika Katka a šibalský úsmev na perách...
Je to len včera, na dvore u Mariskanéni, Človeče nezlob se,
Simona a Ja...
Je to len včera, v Nagymaminom náruči...
Je to len včera, pásiky, plast a ružová predstavujú Vrchol Módy...

Nedávno som čítala jednu veľmi nostalgickú knihu,
The Sea ( More ) - J. Banville,
ktorá je vlastne takou malou štúdiou na tému spomienok.
Autor v nej píše ( niečo v zmysle ), že
" Minulosť vo mne bije ako druhé Srdce "

...a ja nemôžem nesúhlasiť...


It was only Yesterday...
...e-mail from my dad and a whole wagon of memories
...my favourite doll Katka and a cheeky smile on my lips
...mellow summer eve in Hungary, Simona and me,
playing Ludo till I win
...so tired and happy in my Grandma's arms...
...being the fashonista of those blissful days

I have recently read a very compelling book,
kind of a study into Nostalgia, Memories and Past,
The Sea by J.Banville

... " The Past beats inside me like a second heart "...

My Past certainly does...

Ty Capel, Wales




Je to síce už chvíľa odkedy sme tam strávili čarovných zopár dní,
ale ten pocit čo sme tam mali v duši stále pretrváva...

Pri online rezervácii Ty Capel-u, musím sa priznať,
som mala kúsok obavy,
je to predsa len jedna veľmi stará kaplnka - škola,
maximálne izolovaná v Snowdonia Národnom Parku,
najbližšou usadlosťou je už takmer sto rokov opustená,
černicami a malinami porastená,
a iba duchom čias minulých obývaná
banícka osada Rhiwddolion...

Zistila som však zasa raz, že je to práve to
Ticho, Tma a Totálna Izolácia od moderných Hommo Sapiens
čo mojej Duši dáva možnosť sa na/od - dýchnuť...

Všimnite si napríklad obraz deduška s ( možno ) vnučkou...
Tá deduškovi doniesla tabačik a teraz s láskou pozoruje
ako si deduško bafká...
Nie som síce zástancom fajčenia, to nie,
Ale som priateľom Slobody prejavu, konania a snívania...

P.S. Ty Capel sme si zarezervovali cez http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/
Pozrite sa aj vy, dovolenkovať v historických budovách je predsa tak romantické...


It has been a couple of days ( weeks really ) since
we had a holiday there,
but the ' caressing ' feeling inside still remains...

I was a bit worried, I have to admit,
when I booked us this place online...
It is afterall a very old chapel - school,
totally isolated in the heart of Snowdonia National Park,
the nearest settlement being
totally overgrown with bushes of wildberries
almost a century ago forsaken mining hamlet of
Rhiwddolion...

I have discovered ( once again ) however,
that it is The Utter Solitude from modern day Homo Sapiens
that provides my soul with the essential nourriture...

Have a closer look at the painting for instance...
Grandpa enjoying a pipe
after his granddaughter brought him more tabacco...
Where in todays world, with its rules and regulations,
is smoking shamelessly being enjoyed like this...

I am not an advocate of smoking, that is not my point,
I am a Defender of Freedom ( of action/believes/dreaming ) however...

P.S. We have booked Ty Capel through http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/
an organisation that brings historical buildings back to life.
Have an inspirational look yourselves,
it is so romantic after all to holiday in a place from the past,
where men were Gentle-men and women their Princesses...

Back Home



Už som doma...
Chválabohu iba trocha šoknutá, ale ináč v poriadku

Súčasnú situáciu v Japonsku pre mňa dnes vystihuje
aj táto fotografia...

Hoci je v meste tma, temnota, čierňava
na horizonte je slnko...

...aj súmrak je časom krásy, nádeje, nového dňa


Back Home...
Thanks to God only a bit shell-shocked,
but otherwise alright

This picture very much reminds me of the situation out there now...

City engulfed by night, darkness and gloom
but the Sun on the horizont
still manages to convey the sensation of
beauty, tomorrow and hope...
