His lips like caramel
His mouth watering
His eyes like chocolate
His look undresses me
My lips so large
My mouth ajar
My eyes upon his
My look is unravelling
Into the night
Us caressing
Under the moonlight
Our temperature rises
The night is still
We’re young and quiet
As our bodies move
To the same beat

You left me
You left my world
And now I’m shattered
My heart
Broken
In million pieces
No one here
No one to hear
My cries in the middle of the night
All alone
In a stranger’s home
Laying in the bed of darkness

For the most part of my life,
I’ve ignored you
There you still were
I didn’t notice you
Yet you always stayed
Your gentle slaps on my face
Your whispers in my ear
Your guidance on my feet
I’ve now realized the meaning
Of who you are, of what you do to me
You’ve never failed
To believe in me
You’ve never failed
To guide me
I am honored to have you by my side
What I’ve done in my past life
To make you stay with me
It has been the most humbling experience
To have you as my guide
So thank you, Skan
For always protecting me
Guiding me
Never leaving me
The gentle slaps of the wind
The whispers in my ear
The touch on my skin
Please don’t think I hear

Nearly two weeks ago, after living in the beautiful Bulgaria for 2,5 months, I went out for the first time. What a memorable night it was! When we got to the club after a somewhat boring dinner, I knew I was going to be have so much fun… a little too much, it turned out. The club we went to are some of the nicest ones in VT but apparently not in the whole of Bulgaria. The entrance fee was a pitiful 3 leva (€1,50) but you do get checked for not having a gun with you or any other weapon. The club was a very nice, stylish club. I have been missing that kind of atmosphere, the kind of music they played. At one o’clock, the DJ comes and starts playing Bulgarian dance music, which is really my kind of music. That’s when they also bring out the go-go dancers who are in their underwear.What also stunned me were the two percussionist who came out. You could give them a tip or buy them a drink and they would stay with you for awhile.
This being A and my first time of going out, we were in the perfect company for this. He showed us how to party, the Bulgarian style. Apparently, what they do over here, is they get a packet of paper towels and throw them. One of the percussionists, he put some of the paper towels on the drums. Then he poured a little bit of water, which made it rain a little. Right before he left, he put some alcohol on his drum and lit it up, all the while drumming. I’ve had some great, and crazy, parties over the few years but never have I seen something like this before! Mind you, I don’t go out a lot, maybe once in every couple of months but whenever I do, I guess it’s go hard or go home type of thing.
For once, I took my big camera with me, and actually used it. These pictures are from right as we got in, before it got too busy.
The great thing when you go out in Bulgaria, is that when you get a spot for you and your mates, you won’t have to worry about that spot being taken away from you. As a woman, you can also leave your purse on the stool without having to worry if it will be taken from there. Some people even reserve tables beforehand to make sure they have the nicest spots in the club, we just made sure we were early enough there.
It’s time for yet another scavenger hunt! My goodness, days just flies by! This week I got the wonderful opportunity to go visit a kennel with A. This owner has six dogs of our favorite breed ever, Samoyeds. If you don’t know this breed, you really should! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like or is afraid of Samoyeds. If you love Huskies, you’ll most likely love Sammies too. I will tell you more about the trip to this kennel shortly, but my interpretation of this week’s scavenger hunt is inspired by the lovely loving Sammies.
1. Peace
This lovely bunch lives at peace with one another. Upon arrival, they were all jumping on us, running around, barking – what have you. After the initial reaction, they calmed down, and they were so peaceful! They get away with the naughty behavior because they are so friggin’ adorable! And who could not forgive when they smile like that ;-)
2. Fast
Samoyeds are actually really fast! I’d try to take a picture, and they would have moved already. They have energy for days, you’ll never get bored with them!
3. Plain
This handsome little fella just wanted to have a little photo session with me! Just plain smile after rolling around on the ground. This is a typical look of a Sammy.
4. Left
This is more in the middle kind of picture but you can see the Sammy mainly on the left ;-). I had to be really quick to get this photo as she only stayed like that for a second until she wanted to go check out what the others were doing!
5. Shine
These two are enjoying the sun, the fun, the playing, the barking and they’re always so happy-go-lucky! I truly love that, and love them!
If you want to see and read more of the trip to Samoyed kennel, please keep coming back to check out when I’ve written more about it. I loved this trip, it truly made it worthwhile. Such a magical trip for me. The love Sammies give is something very special! There is no other breed like Samoyeds!
Next week’s items are travel, silly, black & white, spots, paper.

It is time for yet another Wordless Wednesday! Last week, I gave you Airport Edition in two parts – part 1 & part 2. If you’re a frequent reader of my blog, you know that I tell you how beautiful the sky is here. Everyday, it’s like a new painting being painted on the sky. It is unbelievably gorgeous! Instead of just talking about it, this week I thought the theme for Wordless Wednesday should be the sky.
The sky inspires me so much! It is the first thing I see when I wake up. It is the first thing I look at when I go out. Over the course of time, it has truly started to play a bigger part in my life. When I think of Sky, I think of so many things but mainly what comes to my mind is the Native American people. Sky plays a big part in their cultures.
In most Creation Accounts, Earth and sky are the first things created. The sky is often personified in Native American mythology, sometimes as a Creator (Mother Earth and Father Sky) or a powerful spirit (Skan). Sky-dwelling creator figures appear in the accounts of many of the Native American cultures. Among these figures are Above-Old-Man (Wiyot), Akbaatatdia (Crow), Earthmaker (Ho-Chunk, Tohono O’odham), Es-te Fas-ta (Seminole), Kodoyanpe (Maidu), Kumush (Modoc), and Utsiti (Keres).
In many traditions, the sky is the home of powerful sky spirits. Birds were seen as intermediaries between humans and the sky spirits.They were believed to be messengers that could carry prayers to the gods and return with gods’ blessings and guidance. For this reason, Feathers were viewed as a bridge between people and the sky spirit world and were used as offerings and on Prayersticks. According to Cherokee tradition, the sky spirits – represented by Great Hawk (Tlanuwa) – were often in conflict with evil underground spirits – represent by Great Serpent (Uktena).
In the Iroquois tradition, Sky Woman, the mother of humanity, fell from the sky world. To make place for her to stand, the water animals created land. In the Chumash tradition, there is a story of a Sky Coyote, which you can read more about here.
I’ve always respected Native American people, and have been fascinated by their cultures ever since I was young. Though lately, I’ve been more and more pulled into it. I’ve been doing a bit of research of some of the cultures, as there are over 500 different cultures/tribes registered in the US, it is impossible to learn about all of them.
The sky is just a small reminder to me of everything going around me. The wind is a reminder for me to sometimes stop thinking and start listening the nature. And as I listen to the wind, as I watch the sky, I get this feeling of gratitude. Happiness takes over me. These two elements are so important to me. I find inspiration from each, daily.
