This night too will pass

This night too will pass (photo 2008)

Ich will mit dem gehen, den ich liebe.
Ich will nicht ausrechnen, was es kostet.
Ich will nicht nachdenken, ob es gut ist.
Ich will nicht wissen, ob er mich liebt.
Ich will mit ihm gehen, den ich liebe.

Bertolt Brecht

I want to go with the one I love.

I do not want to calculate the cost.

I do not want to think about whether it's good.

I do not want to know whether he loves me.

I want to go with whom I love.

Color in the city - Walking Madou

A photographers dream

Walking Madou, a project by the architects Suède 36, changed the once so busy and grey area between Place Madou and Place Saint-Josse into a colorful and car-free area.  So I went to walk my old neighborhood earlier this week.  What a joy it was, despite the drab weather.

The whole area will be refurbished and in the meantime everybody can enjoy the craziness and the abundance of yellow.  The yellow paint will last another two months.

I can only applaud the architects to creatively use a space under construction and hope similar projects will be seen in Brussels and other cities whilst the neighborhoods undergo major changes.

Driving Licence

In a month or so the boy turns 18. Ah, adulthood!  With this magic number comes the much wanted driving licence.  He even gets the theory  as part of the normal school curriculum.  As his mother it comes with dual feelings.

Yes, great to see the boy growing up, love the idea I won't be the sole driver of the household anymore but letting go is not always that easy!
