Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
Thursday’s Special: Where Words Fail, Music Speaks
The scene takes me to Lago di Piano, a small lake close to Lago Lugano in Italy. Words were superfluous. Music was the only thing that could complement the setting sun over the still lake.
Aldo dedicated this song to Angelina, his grandmother, but I dedicate this post to a dear blogger, Sylvia from adinparadise.wordpress.com.
**About Thursday’s Special: It is a ‘non-challenge’ challenge that appeals to bloggers eager to wake up their creativity and show their own ideas and interpretation of the world. I invite everybody interested to join in. There are no themes, titles and techniques set for your expression, there are no limits and restrictions (no red tape whatsoever). The only thing required is to post a photo post on Thursdays entitled “Thursday’s Special: (your theme/title)” (as explained in my Thursday’s Special introductory post), to provide a link to my Thursday’s Special post, and to leave a link to your post in the comments section of my post. If you like Thursday’s Special widget, feel free to grab it and post it on your blog.

I’m a nurse, working in the university clinic. Never short of work. I don’t have the fear that I’ll be without a job, never ever. As soon I put my feet on the ground in Germany, that’s where I’m most of the time, working endless long hours overtime, staff is always short. And it’s where I’m heading now, for the next 9 hours. 🙂 Your words make me rethink. I’m exhausted, yet I’m very privileged, living in 3 countries like Norway, Germany and England.
Stor klem til deg, Paula

My WP Reader has totally changed (and messed up) how I look at and comment on other’s blogs and it is now not just difficult but close to impossible. Not sure what the problem is but if you don’t see me around for a while until this hopefully gets fixed, that’s the reason. Sorry.

Chère Paula, je découvre ton blog en ce dimanche matin après des mois loin du PC. La vie a été un peu difficile. Quel plaisir de te retrouver et quel beau morceau de guitare. Je suis sous le charme. Je vais te suivre désormais ici, m’imprégner de tes pensées, réfléchir davantage sur le sens de la vie et en même temps practice my English. Nous avons tous ce besoin de grandir encore et encore, oui ? J espère que tout va bien pour toi. Je vais découvrir tes écrits petit à petit avec tellement de plaisir. Love you. Syl Chamonix France. 😉
