When I thought about today’s poem, nothing would come to my mind. After a few moments, I was humming a song from the early 90s. I remembered an old school friend sent it to me after he learned about me writing poems. He said it was playing in his head after he read my poems. Although the song is rather melancholic, it never misses to touch my heart because it is connected with many memories of a time long ago. And then the poem almost wrote itself…

Have you experienced this, too? For example, you had a job that challenged you, and whenever you thought of it, you felt stressed and, at times, overwhelmed. Maybe you even developed resistance, which only increased that stress and generated even more resistance. Then you have a new job, and although it is completely different, you still feel that stress coming up. It is a hint that the stress may have nothing to do with any job but with how your mind works on autopilot.

You think you made it
Then a picture, song, or word
And you remember
In Love and Light
How is it that beautiful memories can make you cry? Even though all the people involved are still with you. When I listened to the song I am sharing tomorrow, suddenly, I was taken back to our Christmas in Williamsville, Buffalo. A string of single moments appeared, and I felt the joy again of spending these days with our little daughter. Just the three of us. A time when new traditions were born.

The last warm rays of the September sun
Probably soon, summer has gone
The joy that a song can bring
When it reminds you of a time

Maybe, you only realize how blessed those times actually were.

Why is it that beautiful memories can make us melancholic or even sad? Looking at photos of past events takes us back to that time and makes us feel what we felt at the time. The feelings may have been beautiful, but in retrospect, they can turn into the opposite although nothing has changed in the past. It is the present that makes all this appear in a different light.

time loses power
when memories fill the heart
love lasts forever
In Love and Light
Before we had smartphones we have not missed them. But today, the phone breaking down can cause big issues in our daily lives. I wrote my first email in 2006. Many asked me how I could live without the internet. I said, how can I miss something which has never been part of my life? But once I had started emailing and using the internet, it came close to a catastrophe when my laptop died or the internet got interrupted. When my sister went for her style coach degree, she interviewed people. One question was about the color yellow and what if it would not be part of our lives. One answer was: We wouldn’t care, because we wouldn’t even know it.
