The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

Es war nur ein Ententeich, ein Stück weit unterhalb des Bauernhofs. Und er war nicht besonders groß. Lettie Hempstock behauptete, es sei ein Ozean, aber ich wusste, das war Quatsch. Sie behauptete, man könne durch ihn in eine andere Welt gelangen. Und was dann geschah, hätte sich eigentlich niemals ereignen dürfen.

It was just a duck pond a little way down from the farm. And it wasn't very big. Lettie Hempstock said it was an ocean, but I knew that was bullshit. She claimed that one could go to another world through it. And what happened next should never have happened.

I want to fly away by thepoetryofwaves

Ich möchte hinwegfliegen
über das, was sie sagen
und doch kann ich nicht aufhören 
zuzuhören
dazugehören zu wollen

auch mit Flügeln
auch mit dir

vor allem damit
was ich möchte 

ich kann nicht sehen
nur spüren
wie ein Wind mich dahin trägt
wo alle Münder ein Lied singen


I want to fly away
about what they say
and yet I can't stop listening
to want to belong

also with wings
also with you

especially with it
what I want

I cannot see
only feel
like a wind carries me there
where all mouths sing a song

Listen to the wind by Karin

Listen to the wind,
it talks
Listen to the silence,
it speaks
Listen to your heart,
it knows.

Forget Me Not by La Belle Dame (sent in by Ashley)

My little one 
You have left us too soon.
Though my body 
can no longer hold you,
I hold you forever in my heart.
As precious and beautiful
as this flower caught in time.
A mother's love
does not forget.

Bald Eagles by Bianfu

The bald eagles meet in November/ December in Haines/ Alaska (Chilkat River). 

I always wanted to see this, but apparently Alaska isn't a tourist destination in winter - there were no flights. 

But the dream remains, one day I'll get there ...
