“Reflections of the Moon” by Cindy Georgakas

MasticadoresUsa // Editor: Barbara Leonhard //

Reflections of the moon have me ponder all that’s gone on in a dark sky.
Battling of the night, calming of the soul of a broken heart.

To break is to heal,
to bleed is to know you’re alive.
Tears wash our inner world,
scars scab over,
light floods us with memories and chills.
Love washes us clean inside and out.

Love yourself with all the blemishes and bruises. 
It’s time to go inside and germinate in stillness and silence.

Words are hit and miss,
music reaches far and wide,
an arrow to the heart,
a bullseye for cold winters night.

What feels like the end,
is time for new beginnings.
Embrace all that is,
hibernate and grow wings,
for warm tomorrows.

Havanna – schöne morbide Hauptstadt Kubas

Senioren um die Welt

Mit ihrer kolonialen Altstadt mit den mächtigen Festungen, Barockkirchen und Palästen ist Havanna das reinste koloniale Bilderbuch, wobei hier Schönheit und Verfall oft direkt nebeneinander liegen. Die Kubaner selbst schwärmen von ihrer Hauptstadt wie von einer schönen Frau. Das erste, was uns in Havanna auffiel, war die Freundlichkeit der Habaneros, egal, wo wir ihnen begegneten, sie hatten immer ein Lächeln für uns. Es wurde viel geredet, gelacht und zu den Salsa-, Son- oder anderen Klängen der Combos getanzt.
