Interesting article about eggs

An egg is an egg is an egg...

Eating a boiled egg for breakfast
is always a special delight to me
Watching the soft, bright yellow yolk
surrounded by the sturdy white flesh
of the egg tickles my sensual mind

The oval shaped egg feels tender
and strong at the same time
Its shell protects the inside very well
and yet let it drop and it breaks into
cracks like the skin of an old person

There is wisdom in eggs and beauty
in this elegant design of pregnancy
Compared to the physical process
of the visible growing female belly
An egg is an abstract work of art

Roll it through your hand and feel its
roundness, its softness, its strength
It is said that eggs can absorb negativity
and tension, even pains and heartaches
An egg is a kind of genius in its own way

Ears full of High Noise

Was tinnitus the reason Van Gogh cut off one of his ears?
Barbra Streisand says it's because of tinnitus that she is having such a temperament...

I have had tinnitus for as long as I can remember. It's a continuous shrill sound in both of my ears and it never goes away. It is quite loud and the only thing that helps to forget it a little is having pretty loud music on. Now I read in this article that many popmusicians haven gotten it because of playing loud music on stage.

Funny Geese in Neighborhood Park

For years I was afraid of geese. Once when I lived in Amsterdam, a whole colony of them chased me during a ride on my bike in the outskirts of town.

It was scary! They were furious and I didn't know why!

I avoided geese ever since.

Now things have changed. In my neighborhood park lives a very peaceful group of geese, eating bread from passersby, chewing grass, swimming in the pond, standing at the side of the pond, on one or two legs... And they are funny!

This is a sketch I made of these geese. They make me laugh...
