TASK COMPLETED

From one o'clock till half past seven Piet Hein and I did hang the pictures in the Carolinum. We wanted it to be almost perfect of course and we succeeded
neatly.
Now I am tired.
When tired we eat pizza and why not?
It is disconcerting to see many persons with all kinds of handycaps and illnesses but it is hopeful they are cared for and looked after. I am glad that our pictures will bring joy to everybody that sees them.
One man came along and said to me I am so glad that I can see what the pictures represent, one often sees pictures that we don't know what it represents and we don't like that.
Another man bringing some tea to his mother (or was it his wife severeally demented) came along and said that picture hangs oblique I have a feeling for that. We too, I said. We are working on it.
Later I saw how urgently he wanted his mother (or wife) to feel cormfortable and wanted her to eat a bit. And at that moment my memories of my demented mother came alive and how I wanted the same but hardly could help her in that situation.
The travellersjoy seeds are on our balcony, I noticed the food for the birds that I thought to be safe there were removed by one or two raccoons or other hungry animals. No not by snakes, no.

My haiku:

Fragile and strong we
Are and want to be, sometimes
It is beyond us

And the italian proverb:

He/she knows enough that knows how to hold her/his peace.
