*~* Above The Clouds *~*

...... is a German song by Reinhard Mey.
I listened to it a while ago on y...tube, after a long video chat with my .
One talking point was, when I will get my new passport, which expired a year ago.
Bureaucracy made me almost give up..... Now all problems seem to be solved and this necessary document will come my way end of this month or October, finally....



"Ueber den Wolken" is the original title.

Above The Clouds

Wind north-east on runway two,
I hear the engines surge of power,
She thunders through my field of view,
At a hundred miles an hour.
And the rain-soaked asphalt quakes,
Veils of spray obscure the midline,
Wheels lift and off she takes
Towards the sunshine.

Above the clouds
Freedom must be boundless;
All your fears, all your worries, they say
Remain unseen underneath, and
Whatever seems big and important to us
Becomes suddenly trivial and small.

I keep watching her for some time,
See her climbing up the clouds, slowly disappearing
When her tail lights fade to grey,
She's out of sight, not out of hearing.....

The rumbling fades, I turn away,
The smell of coffee wafts my way
From the airtraffic control .
In the puddles kerosene
Reflects the clouds in swirling rainbows,
I guess my heart wished
To be aboard and fly with them.

Traveling back and forth had become a routine, and I never imagined that this kind of freedom would be in decline. "They" are turning the world upside down!

I know that we have different views concerning climate change. I won't cross the Atlantic on a paddle boat. You should remind the nearly 2.500 leaders who attended the WEF meeting in May this year in Davos, Zwitzerland. The fleet of Jets, partly private ones, had a big impact on the climate, don't you think so?

My daughter told me about her experience at the office that handle requests for new passports in the town where she lives in Germany. When she walked in, the first thing she was told, was to put a mask on. If she did not, they would not take the application. As she did not carry one in her handbag, the assistant handed her one out of a box on his desk. Then asked, what she needed a passport for as she could travel in Europe without a passport. She answered that this was not his business. After that the usual procedure with fingerprints and picture, etc...... Bully-boy tactics is the new behavior.

Sometimes one has to use a plane when two continents are involved.

It's even been three years that we have not hugged each other, Nile. I have to watch what's going on over there before I book a flight. They are talking already about new restrictions - shortness in gas, room temperature in the winter season should only be 19 C degrees, one should not take a shower every day, a washcloth and cold water is recommended...... Not joking! Blackouts and brownouts are likely to happen. There is something in the air that does not sound good!

MY seek. nothing surprises me regarding the mask and vax sheep.

i see the EU becoming like Cuba and Venezuela soon.

The Philippines elected Ferdinand Marcos's son as pres, in may

The Philippines used the same voting machines used in the USA in 2020.

plus many many reports of booze for votes n intimidation at polling places. more so in rural parts

his dad was booted out in the 80s n took some 10 billion in cash, art, gold etc with him. HIS MOM WAS FOUND TO HAVE OVER 2K PAIRS OF SHOES.

all this in a country that is and has been on the brink of financial collaspe

the USA dollar is worth 57 pesos.

want to see some sad sights. go on youtube, and search poverty in the Philippines. yet the govt lives lavishly. there is no middle class. only rich, wealthy and poor

the past president of the Philippines was close buddies with WINNIE THE POOH, AKA XI

HERE IS HOPING YOU GET YOUR NEW PASSPORT SOON. TRAVEL IS GETTING MORE AND MORE COMPLICATED, ESPECIALLY AIR TRAVEL. GIVE ME A CALL WHEN YOU GET ON THIS SIDE OF THE POND. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU OR BETTER YET, MEET YOU.

Three? That's way to long! One month seems like forever when I don't get to see my girls.

So everything I read about is actually happening over there and it isn't hype. Maybe you can fly your family here instead? Not sure that would be a better option, but freezing and getting stuck there doesn't sound like a good plan either.

I sure like to talk to you and meet you, Archer. How can we exchange t-numbers? I can even call you from here, because I have a phone plan for international calls, no time limit, etc.! Monthly payments don't change.

Yes, far too long, I was last in Germany 2019, came back here September 23, 2019.
I had suggested to come and visit here. But my family reject the jabs, I don't let that stuff come near me either. And then my granddaughter gave birth to the little girl last year in August. After that a big tumor was removed and she had 12 chemo treatments....... Long story.....

I am happy to hear that you could make it over to Sweden, Maudie. Sweden lived a normal life, they did not join the panic mode. I believe you enjoyed every moment with your family.

Before my first flight I was kind of panicking when I imagined sitting in a tube with no way out. But I got over that feeling fast and enjoy the advantages.
