When Elly moves from her deep sleep, she is like the whale in the Sindbad story. When the poor Sindbad had swum from his broken ship, landed on a small island trembling from cold, and began to kindle some fire, he realised it was not an island... it was a great sleeping whale!
Therefore, we have to imagine the reaction of both of them when the fire began to burn over the back of the whale.
Elly the great white whale has decided to move.
The Blog now looks better (I think) and more elegant, and it gives the impression that it has a purpose… sort of!
I am glad that I can deal (till now because I am also unpredictable) with two unpredictable, intelligent, stunning girls: The Elly and the PERSEPHONE to whom I gave the title i usually give to certain characters to signal them apart from the herd!
BOTH OF THEM GAVE ME SOME INTERESTING GIFTS. E'S IDEA TO CREATE MADNY AND P'S AGREEMENT TO PLAY WITH ME IN HER ETHIOPIAN PHOTOS

The Elly
To Elly
wish you more IN :
- practical steps towards interesting creative work
-deep analysis of what is happening around you
-peace with others, accepting them as they are or abounding them completely
-more chances in coping with your emotional needs
Wish you less IN :
-rushing to judgment
- changing moods
- interest in useless assholes
I am writing this because she - in her Elly ways- surprised me by announcing her birthday after it passed!
ma'lesh
So on this rare occasion, when The Elly becomes An Elly in one of her many Ellys waiting for her coming birthdays weeks (we are not interested in the past)

About this photo: it is from Persephone's collection from her visit to Ethiopia. She was generous enough to allow me some comments on them. Some of them, like
her comment on this one catches the eye "The Archangel Mikael fought a tremendous battle against a lioness. Finally, he hurled her against this rock - the impact created this impression. The legend is undoubtedly more interesting than the truth. I think this comment is very human in dealing with fantasies... I titled it "separate reality" It is a title of a book by Carlos Castaneda; reading him affected my life in a better way .

Elly's mood
for some reasons Elly is not” in the mood " of writing lately . I think she is in bad mood ! OK that is her right .
But why she wants us ( readers and friends ) to be depressed and read every day about cases in Iran . Egypt . Gaza.. and so on .. I read them in the morning in my room in Amsterdam after a usual restless night .. the days are not better : rains and silly weather ( I have no other word ) .. and we are in summer .. I have a small garden was hoping to spend some time in it ..
So I took my tea drink my coffee . looking at the silly weather from behind my window , can not use my garden , set in front of my computer hoping .. Hoping there would be something to cheer me up .. and here is elly making the last touches of completing the depressed day which is just begins ..
Worlds problems? yes we should follow and say our opinion and support human rights cases ..but what about our problems ? our personal problems which we hide under thick foundations of being interest in “world’s problems ?“
writing does need mood .. it needs courage!.. raouf
