Women with big eyes ……

Women with big eyes look at the world with wonder and enthusiasm, anger, grief and determination, with will to live and to fight.
Women with the big-eyes are all fascinating, each with its own unique and special beauty concentrated in a particular face, a tuft of hair, the way of walking, talking or smiling.
Women with big eyes love with passion, make the object of their desire the center of their life, ready to sacrifice, to lie, to deny themselves or… to pack their suitcases and leave.
Women for whom “the friendship between men and women is a good thing if only possible” women who have “such an uproar in the heart” that they leave the doors to it open to air it, “so that anyone could go in and ask affection and favors without even knocking “Women who give kisses” to those who love women because they do not know what to do with them. ”

Le donne dagli occhi grandi guardano il mondo con meraviglia ed entusiasmo, con rabbia, tormento e determinazione, con voglia di vivere e di combattere.
Le donne dagli occhi grandi sono tante, tutte affascinanti, ciascuna con la propria unica e particolare bellezza concentrata in un particolare del viso, in una ciocca di capelli, nel modo di incedere, di parlare o di sorridere.
Le donne dagli occhi grandi amano con passione, fanno dell’oggetto del loro desiderio il centro della propria vita, pronte a sacrificarsi, a mentire, a negare se stesse, a fare le valige e partire.
Donne per le quali “l’amicizia tra uomini e donne è un bene imperdonabile”, donne che hanno “un tale subbuglio nel cuore” che per ventilarlo lasciano le porte aperte, “così che chiunque poteva entrare e chiedere affetto e favori senza neppure bussare”, donne che danno baci “di quelli che le donne innamorate regalano perché non sanno più dove metterli”.

Ohana means family

This is a letter we got from your grandparents from Berlin. We read it together, Marcus helping me with the translation, sitting in a small cafe by the beach in Paihia, Northland New Zealand, waiting for our eggs benedict with bacon, sipping latte. the day was beautiful and I did not think it could be much better but this letter made it even more amazing, there is so much love and feelings in it.

You are so lucky my little one that when you will be growing you will have people like this around you, that they are people closest to you.


And this is what real beauty is, the one that shines from inside, not the way people look or the clothes they wear, you read this letter and you cannot help thinking how beautiful the people who wrote it are and this beauty will never go away on its own, it will never dissapear with time, unless, like uncle Claudi said in his little story about old wise  Indian, you will keep feeding the wrong wolf.

Ohana means family, if you watched the Stitch animation already, and if not ask your parents to show it to you, hope you will now imagine the little outsider saying it. Family means no one stays behind

Liebe Ewa und lieber Marcus!

Heute habe ich noch einmal Ewa`s Tagebuch für Haumea gelesen. ( mit Übersetzung).
Ich habe die ganze Zeit weinen müssen, aus diesen Zeilen spricht so viel Liebe, Freude
und Güte. Sie hat so ein warmes Herz, genau wie du lieber Marcus. Ihr Zwei seid wirklich
etwas ganz Besonderes, euch muß man einfach lieb haben. Auch wenn ihr ganz weit weg seid, denken wir jeden Tag an euch und beten auch für euch alle DREI. Rarotonga ist doch wirklich das Paradies auf Erden, auch wenn es wenige Abstriche gibt, aber  so ist es nun mal auf dieser Erde.

Wir freuen uns jeden Tag mit  euch und freuen uns riesig auf unser Enkelkind.
Heute schicke ich einen Brief an euch ab mit einer CD : Klassik für Babys”. Um meinen
Favoriten  habe ich ein kleines Herzchen gemacht. Es heißt :”An der Wiege”. Es ist
wunderschön. Aber die anderen Titel sind auch sehr schön. Es ist auch etwas Schokolade
für Ewa mit drin ( für Marcus natürlich auch).

So meine Lieben , wir wünschen euch ein
schönes Wochenende, wir denken an euch und drücken euch. Ein besonderer Gruß
an unsere kleine Haumea!!!

Eure lieben Eltern.

 

Love the animals, love the plants, love everything.
If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things.
Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day.
And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

ama gli animali,ama le piante,ama ogni cosa.se tu amerai ogni cosa ,capirai il
divino mistero delle cose.una volta che tu lo capirai,inizierai a comprenderle
meglio ogni giorno.ed arriverai,alla fine ad amare l’intero mondo con un amore che tutto abbraccia.

New Zealand Soujourn

Dear Haumea,

after a long absence here is your dad writing again. Not one day passes where we do not think of you and neither does any day come to a close where your Dad did not fall in love with your Mum again

Your Mum has so many qualities many obvious many more not so obvious that let my heart melt over and over again. Take for instance one day where I was rummaging for an implement to change the SIM card in our iPhone and before I knew it your Mum had removed her Tahitian pearl earring and handed it to me with the pin first. Or take the way your Mum handles stress and smiles and jokes in the face of adversity. Sadly there are lots of people where there is a massive gulf separating word and action and disappointment is looming but your mum just smiles and already thinks of an alternative. On the other hand your mum has earned the luck the call a handful of reliable, genuine and great friends her own and thanks to them everything fell into place on this trip of ours that we undertook to close or at least temporarily finish writing the chapter titled ‘New Zealand’ in the gripping Novel that is your Mum’s life. What remains are great friends, a handy Holiday and shopping destination and the need to rent a car to get around but a small prize to pay  of we can have each other and you.

We also tried to get a belated confirmation from the Dolphins but their larger relatives and our hearts already made a decision a long time ago so your Mum and I were happy with them turning up in great numbers and frolicking around the bow of our boat. When your Mum and I went out swimming one came up close to your mum so in case you were wondering about all these ultrasound sounds outside of a hospital environment and a cold one at that – yep – that was them whose intelligence and ways of life we still try to understand. One thing is clear, they enjoy loving one another just as much as we do, few creatures are able to.

Things are moving along nicely, you have grown considerably since my last post and all in all give us no trouble at all apart from causing havoc with your Mums hormones which she handles just as well as anything else life has thrown at her and believe you me that was rather a lot.

So from hereon I will simply have to be a good husband and dad and all will be easy sailing like a wake on the trade winds. So long my dear until my next post which I promise will be soon.

Love

Your Dad
