turn in the corner

in these days i'm having a hoarse voice; and i long for a remedy.

but wow. how glad i was when i heard his voice again, and learned that he sounds happy when i called him.

now i know that there is a plan. or two plans, perhaps. one his; another His.

it's been more than a year since i arrived in that train station, visiting him in his small town of lemgo. we tried to be punctual back then; but failed to make it. being on-time was too much a luxury to afford, wasn't it? haa...

having a quality time with him, for small talk, play ps three, or just watch a good movie, is always fun. my best wishes to him, and that may he make a ladder and climb on its every rung to reach his brightest star.

Lemmego

as a small city in north westphalia, germany, lemgo is a quiet place. i arrived here yesterday to meet and stay at my brother will's place. luckily the sun is on our side. although it winds sometimes and temperature drops during the nights, i still feel comfortably fine here.

the journey to get here was exceptionally difficult, i must admit. i took a night bus that departed ten minutes too early, but arrive one our too early too. leaving me alone in a small german town at three in the morning with no shelter. i was feeling terrible cold and lost. i speak no german. even if i did, there was no one to spoke to anyway in that small station near bielefeld.

i struggled with cold, listening to my mp3 and learned how to get the earliest train to a bigger town. after two hours of waiting in minus eight celcius, i made it to bielefeld. at six in the morning...

but now i am restored. although i feel that my mind and my heart are still in the open fields of the farmlands i visited four days ago in antwerp. my curiousity still dwell in the classroom of the second level elementary school i visited last monday.

today i will leave lemgo. detmold is the next stop, before my long journey continue to the lowlands...
