Growth in the Gänsemarkt

Things are happening. June will bring the opening of two restaurants and an ice cream shop!
The Hollandschenke is relocating to the former Schwarzer Ritter with the same great food a beer garden!  Welcome "Leib und Seele".
An International menu is coming to the corner formerly occupied by Pinochio. Welcome "Babylon".
And finally, the Christian Bookstore will be an ice cream parlor.

Kudos to the city and the teams who are making my neighborhood a cooler place .

Nothing to Report and Nothing to Complain About

It's been rainingI've got Gore-Tex. - the past few days. Steinstrasse has been gray and damp. I'm always grey, it comes with the turf, but I'm rarely damp, I've got Goretex.

I've been carving. Little people. Two and four inch people. I'm trying to capture the feel of Sunni painting in wood. When I've got enough then I'll try to arrange them like a Haiku. A sestina would be too much work.

Things come easier to the beginner's mind. I'Ve been practicing. Let it rain. My mind's got Gor-Tex.

Conversations on a Country Path (Apologies to Heidigger)

I used to walk here often
I was in love
She was not

Time has passed
On the edge of the mind 
I can still hear her breathing
along with thousands of other breaths

My cosmos
no longer bound by ego
allows me to go back

the path not chosen
the road less travelled
the mind less filled
