Andy's Mind

So, the 2007 is here. 2006 becomes a thing of the past. Not as big a leap forward as 2005 was, but still I made some progress. I would summarize it as an “ok year”, even though it ends in sorrow.

2007 is going to be a tough one. I feel it. It will start uphill, with lots of challenges. But it would also be a year of change.

I believe in the end what is strong will prevail, love will prevail over fear – but it won’t be quick or easy. Nothing of value is easy.

I’m meeting a lot with friends these days. Since most of them are not single I could say that I was looking at love in its different forms and stages this Christmas. Yet one meeting in particular was an experience that left a lasting impression on me. I did see true love with my own eyes and it’s something hard to shake off. (more…)

So, Christmas is inevitably coming. And it so occurred to me than since childhood there was only once a time when I somehow lived through this holiday and was happy with it.

And when I was a kid the moment I liked most was on the first or second day of Christmas when my parents were usually visiting someone in the evening. I was then left alone at home. I was just sitting by the tree with all lights on, reading books, watching some TV or listening to the radio. I liked those moments.

Now when I look at it as an adult I think it is a bit sad an image – lonely kid by the christmas tree. But, it’s still a good memory.

So open your heart and feel,
Open your soul and follow me,
Open your mind and see,
Open my soul and follow me.

One of the songs on the Schiller‘s album Tag und Nacht.
