Re-Action

It might just imply that you've hit a nerve, something that was quite sensitive.

Blush

just to prove good-natured

Well, So

you go back into the shop because somebody made a mistake to your advantage - and yet you are terribly shy.

The One

Somebody jumping out of the bed when still half-asleep having mistaken this song for the ringing of the telephone.

"the texture of our sin"

Niet so quaet ten erghens toe goet

Nil est tam pravum quin ad quemque valet usum.

Nothing is so bad that it may not be of some use.

Today I heard of another good example, when a friend told me about a refugee she and her husband had welcomed to their home. Just like my parents-in-law.

Those Were the Days

when one was able to paint it red just for the fun of it, because there was a common sense of decency.

Water

Just drink some water and you will rejuvenate.

Strange Delights

"Pleasently disappointed" - a term I heard the old sexton utter. Not a collocation in any way common, yet something to long for - I guess: He had harboured some negative expectations in his mind and when they were frustated, he felt "pleasently disappointed".

Hard and Soft

is sometimes only a matter of when toapply what, a reversal can bring about the opposite.

Generic - the Antidote

Generic

quoting without putting any thoughts or emotion into it

becoming stale and barren

To the Wonder

The Sickening Game

When all you behold rouses your covetousness.

Maybe especially if things belong to a community, one that even might pose a threat your way of life by challenging its foundations.

You bully it.

Tragically Funny

So I have watched this sitcom and I always believed those comedies the best that resolve potentially tragic situations - preferably into laughter. Yet here it was not resolved, instead there was to all us sore losers a lesson of how to be a good sport. I guess the tragicomedy is even more subtle.

Fervent

There is something in me refusing to take the easy way, to choose sensibly.



I'm sorry - or rather not - , but perfect is dull.

Repudiate

reputation

let pride simply be swallowed

good riddance

So

somebody opined that curiosity was a vice, something nasty that should be overcome.


Yet to me it is the spice of life. Curiosity keeps me from being prejudiced or judgemental, for it demands an open mind, if you are "neugierig", literally "avid for something new".

Trifle

just now

Challenge the World

The Future

So Midas Dekkers imagined a child being asked to paint a picture of nature and how this would be a beautiful landscape and again he imagined the same child being asked to paint a picture of the enviroment and it would be something troubling.

Nobody Told Me

there'll be days like these.


Or maybe they did but I wasn't quite listening, heeding their advice.

Sometimes I Like to Wander

with my eyes

Unashamedly Shameless

O woe to you and the world if you have completely lost all sense of shame.
