this is another one of the wild dogs that is living with us. Her name is Disney, because she looks like she comes out of a movie of Walt Disney. She is very shy, but always comes and wags her tail when somebody is outside. I was holding a small wooden frame in my hand while it took this shot.

An African music happening in a small town close by on our way shopping this morning.

I love snakes. this one is where normally the curtains of the kitchen should be........

Without those pills every day you would be dead. Many people believe in a situation like ours it´s better not to think about it at all and just pretend everything is normal. On the other hand........the Tibetan monks have skulls on their desks and many things made of bones. In their training it is considered important to be aware of the presence of death in every moment. It teaches them to accept that we only have the current moment. It teaches also to surrender to that was IS. In a way in this aspect our life here is a training´s camp also. With my partner´s disease and health situation there is no way to take anything for granted. This disease is a strict teacher and many aspects certainly cruel and hard, but the lesson is a lesson of love.
It forces us to celebrate every moment, it forces us to distinguish between things that are important and all the others that are not. It teaches us to be grateful and loving and to give everything into every moment. ...at least that is what it teaches me........
