Babies

Yesterday afternoon I had a guest. Two guests exactly but one of them, in particular, special. It was a gorgeous and absolutely adorable two years old boy. I went all crazy about him cooing and making an idiot of myself.

I love babies. I hope to have one or two, maybe three in the future. They are so curious about their surroundings, so spontaneous and innocent. And these protective feelings you feel for them- I love it.

However, it is hard to raise a child. When they learn to walk they are everywhere! You have to watch over them all the time! There’s little time for yourself left.

Still, it’s worth it.

THE LAMB
by William Blake

Little lamb, who made thee?
Does thou know who made thee,
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little lamb, who made thee?
Does thou know who made thee?

Little lamb, I'll tell thee;
Little lamb, I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb.
He is meek, and He is mild,
He became a little child.
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by His name.
Little lamb, God bless thee!
Little lamb, God bless thee!

I found this poem earlier this week, and have to say that it really impressed me. It reflects my present frame of mind.
A bit of culture

This month I was in the theatre twice. First play, ‘Klątwa’ of Wyspiański, was very disappointing. Never once during the whole spectacle was I particularly interested. It was long and monotonous. Long moments of silence and lack of any greater action made me concentrate on my thoughts rather than the play. I don’t recommend.

Second one was ‘Śmierć człowieka-wiewiórki’. The play was something new, something I have never came across before. It was also hard to understand. I am not an expert on the post-war reality nor do I know much about the story of Ulrike Meinhof and Andreas Baader who fought for New Germany. I admit I didn’t understand the play. However, I did enjoy it on some level.

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

In March I am going to watch ‘Three Sisters’ by Czechow. But unlike other times, this one I am going to read the book before seeing the play. I do not plan on trying to understand what is going on through the whole spectacle, but simply enjoy and think about a message the author wanted us, spectators, to receive.

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

I have to say that theatre does not excite me as much as philharmonic does. I was only once on a musical spectacle and it really impressed me. The music, the sheer power coming out of the players – it’s incredible! You have to experience it yourself! This first time I shed tears. Too much emotions invaded me and I just cracked. Never before the theatre did that to me. It must be because I’m more open to music than words.
Existential fears

Sometimes the world around you seems very unreal. You experience this feeling of unease and confusion. There is a moment when you ask yourself- what am I?

Existential fears are very common in one’s youth. They appear to be omnipresent, squashing you, imprisoning. And the only way to escape these feelings is to accept the world as it is, do not ask questions that will never be answered, lose yourself in everyday life. With time, the fear will not be as intimidating, as frequent.

But is it really worth it?
Again.

Not my first but second attempt to write on this website. Previously I wrote as Ellie and failed miserably. Some time after I registered, I stopped writing. There were many reasons, on which I don’t wish to ponder here but the main facts remain- I stopped and now I’m going to try writing again.

-----------------------------------------

This year I will find myself sitting on A- Level exams.

I’m terrified.

I’m confused.

And I’m absolutely not sure of my decisions regarding future career as a student.

I tell you- this year is going to bring me a lot of headaches.

I just wish for all of this confusion and indecisiveness to end. Maybe praying to God for a bit of peace will help.
