Jo’s Monday Walk
Weekend 135
A piece of land, actually a small burial ground of 12.7 acres in the city centre turns into a crocus field every year during spring. In distant past this place was used to play bowling on Blue Monday (the third Monday of January ) every year, it was a tradition. Later in 1837 it was converted to a cemetery. During the cholera epidemic of 1848–49, the cemetery was expanded, but received its final design around 1860. Ole Bull (a Norwegian virtuoso violinist and composer), and Frederik Meltzer ( a representative at the Norwegian Constitutional Assembly at Eidsvoll in 1814 who is best known for designing the flag of Norway) are buried here. The cemetery was closed as a burial ground in 1919.

What keeps my heart awake is colorful silence.~ Claude Monet
Degust-
Current day affairs
around the world
lead the feelings
of anxiety and depression.
I take walks
to keep my sanity
in time of distress.
My mantra.
Walk slowly.
Observe nature.
Degust “the magic”.
Make plans.
Help others.
Restore faith in humanity.

Winter is not over but spring is around the corner. Just two days of sunshine has given me hope. I wish peace and love for everyone.
If people did not love one another, I really don’t see what use there would be in having any spring.~ Victor Hugo
I am not sure of the reason for such distracted reflection but I find it interesting.

Jo’s Monday walk
Childhood game.
Agree and disagree.
Disagree and agree
was simple and fun.
Being in adulthood
for a long period.
Things are twisted.
Minds get rigid.
Ideas are fixed.
Windows are
tightly shut.
Agree – disagree
is not fun any more.
Friends mock others.
For being liberal.
For being kind to others.
Being rationale.
And most of all
for opposing
the fake image
of nationalism.
Staying and suffering
was optional.
The weight of
fake friendships was
heavy.
She chose freedom.
Now question is
Will she be happy?
