I visited this little octagonal chapel on the island of Ruegen, Baltic Sea, with my mother. Inside some scripts and large oil paintings: how many sailors were not rescued, because heavy storms were outside. My mother made suicide, but her storms were made by politics and rules of social behaviour. She had not the power to keep her head above water, swimming in ideologies.

Such a sad life you have lived, Dietmar. Where did the name Frizz come from? I looked at the Wikipedia link and the islands look very beautiful.
A terrible thing that the gulf between you grew so wide.
A lovely tune for her this morning. 🙂

dear Jo,
you asked
“Where did the name Frizz come from?”
reply: maybe from my frizzy state of mind?
or because it sounds like a typical German name
like Karl or Kurt or Gretel or Dietmut
(mut means “courage” I didn’t have any) –
for my friends in The Netherlands I spelled myself

Ah- I thought Fritz. I prefer Dietmar. Courage isn’t given to everybody, but sometimes when we need it … it can be summoned.

Worrying is like

I like the chapel very much–and I’m sad that you lost your mom, and that she couldn’t keep her head above the waters. I know about that kind of deep despair, so my words are not empty. My Faith is BIG, but I’m not so arrogant to think I may yet flounder in the waves.

She never heard of the Beatles? How can that possibly be?

in East Germany it was forbidden, to hear foreign radio channels. my mother was much too anxious. though everywhere the secret service STASI was behind the corner: you can’t live without courage. without courage you must die.
