If you have climbed up to the top of the pulpit rock, the “Preikestolen” in Norway near Stavanger, then you maybe will feel like one of the ancient Greek Gods on the Mount Olympus: Looking down to the human beings like ants: tiny, far away with their goals and efforts. Feeling like looking through a diminishing glass. No more oppressed by daily life troubles …

the meaning of “All efforts for the cat”
(German =) “Alles für die Katz'”
is: all my trials are for nothing,
have no effect
(as a teacher maybe often thinks)
P.S.:
I played many years guitar –
now one finger on my left hand
isn’t flexible anymore:
Alles für die Katz –
I have to cancel a stage performance
in a Folk Club in Brussels

I hope that it is just temporary. I always enjoy when you post videos of you playing. Sometimes, the body just needs to rest. Get well …. be well ….

Django Reinhardt had a bad finger too …
– at least it is still possible to make photos
– or to type letters
with the old fashioned two finger system …

Dear Frizz,
I am sorry to hear your finger isn’t working and you can’t play the guitar.
The photograph is beautiful and I am sure it will receive 1200+ more hits.
I am sorry for the loss of your new music.
Best,
Ruth in Pittsburgh

Breathtaking view!
Sorry to read about your finger. No more guitar playing? “Irreparable” sounds permanent. Is the inability to play guitar permanent?
Hmmm…I think it would be good to produce a songbook of your renditions…of the tunes that flew off your fingers and onto the guitar…for posterity.

instead of a songbook I would like to make a print version of my wordpress blog via blurb – but it is not easy to get the copyrights for the photos …

I can feel the air in this photo and how it makes one feel like such a spot of dust… Sorry to hear about your finger, my first thought was of Django Reinhardt also – if it is tendon or cartilage related, try Cissus Quadrangularis (in powder form caplets from the health food store) for joint relief.

Cissus Quadrangularis is a plant (veldt grape) that is ground down into a powder and put into caplets for oral dosage – I have weight lifter friends who have used this for their injuries (as well as a hairdresser friend who had arthritic hands) and found it beneficial – have a look at this link for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cissus_quadrangularis

yes, thank you – it seems indeed to have a relation to arthritic

Hi Frizz,
This photo is breathtaking! I am glad to hear that your finger might heal. It would be a terrible thing for such a fine musician not to be able to play. Still, it is good that you have many other talents, such as writing and photography, to express yourself.
