Dear D, Today I was reading about a master forger of paintings, an old naughty gentleman who was reliving (and revelling) his dodgy years with its secrets…in technics to make a newly painted piece look like the real Caravaggio, Vermeer or Lowry! To my astonishment, he used bee goo to crack the painting to look…

Road to Redemption or Walk of Shame
Dear D Today I wanted to explore the debris of human (read male) hubris. Starting with the story of the sphinx, the wonder exposed still and sober watching the fauna of founders. If there is any conscience left in her, I bet she will sigh with a smirk. As the reason for her faith is…
Languish with leverage to bequest a legacy
Dear D Scanning with a telescope the horizon for my comfort zone is not my daily ordeal but painfully aware most of humanity is…it is like included in the list of capital sins. I will explain myself, wherever you look or listen, there will be advice on how to better yourself in any imaginable way….
The power of acceptance
Dear D, So the novelty of having entered the second half of the century, mine that is, feels now official and is giving me plenty to ponder. Last Tuesday marked 51 cycles ago I came into this realm, though it wasn’t the date that marked because after all, it is a calendar, made up and…
Accident or incident
Dear D Today I am reminiscing about how words start living a life of their own. Take accident, Latin and Greek roots both agree on the meaning but then the medieval French butt in and makes the expression accidents happen a silly thing to say. I mean… happenings happen?

Exit or Expire
Dear D In this life, all is but a cycle, in which we grow in body and mind. Into society or not if one is all but blind. Navigating to take part in a play designed with values so opposite as day and night. Probably because when puzzle pieces are fitting to ensure a means…
Empower and overpower
Dear D Since forever people have spoken about, informed me and complained over my face being an open book. My thoughts, feelings and opinions laid out naked for anyone and body, always without mean intentions. Except for the moment I intend to let my face speak before my fist, but that is a whole other…
Invision the visionair
Dear D, So me writing to you is just one form of popular attention you are receiving. In your adoptive city of preference, Naples they have decided to turn your written voyage into a rap. Done by maybe the most charismatic rapper they have, certainly the most gifted as he has a healthy dose of…
Chevy Chase and other games
Dear D Today I wish to update you about games, battles and rhymes. Nursery that is, because although young and innocent is their fame cruelty is their game. Then again maybe being too harsh as copy and paste is common knowledge from the past. Anyhow before rambling on in galloping rhyme I need your attention…
The bright and right side of loneliness
Dear D Today I want to share not because of feeling alone but because of knowing each drop of anything makes a difference. I and my lonesome self are usually quite the happy couple, though I am aware that talking eight hours straight each day of the week to myself, maybe can cause some altered…
