About gray and more...

After I had last week celebrated the blue, I decided now to celebrate the gray. It also has earned its chance.

Because I think it can be very nice, with all its nuances and boring it is not when you look closer.

For example, this gate in our old town wall: how many different shades have the stones!

I like this gate and I like to go through.

It is a very special place and passing through has something of enchantment.

Today, on Valentine's Day we're going with my loved ones eat in a nice little Asian restaurant very close to ... and then we both go through it and let us enchant for the day.

I made some pictures from winter jasmine with the help of a macro lens. When I saw the pictures, the withered dry flowers remembered me on old yellowed crumpled skirts of ballerinas.

This inspired my imagination and so I wrote a short story.

Silence surrounds her

broken by the creaking

of the steps.

Carefully put the feet.

Difficulty.

Slowly her eyes adjust

to the dim light

at the old attic.

Hanging there in the corner

the yellowed tulle dress.

She reaches for it

feels the fabric

and again she is surrounded

of the music.

The long years trained steps

a jump

and be held and lifted

at the same moment

and fall ...

When she wakes up, it's dark

around her

and she is on the boards

but it is not the stage

and laboriously she fumbles

to the fallen

crutches
