Child of God

A sea so crystal clear
Love is eternal - it will remain forever
So strong, so deep
What I saw when I looked into your eyes
I meant everything I didn't say
Burnt my heart
Don't underestimate the power of the ocean
Where your heart is
Where I can't compete
Beauty that brings tears into my eyes
Kick the snake
Raise your sword
So many battles to fight
But you are strong
Blessed child of God
If we're meant to be one
Neather distance nor hell itself could stop us

Simone @ work


A month has passed since I started working. It's been really good so far. I like the work and also facts like my weekend starting on Frieday, not having to fight over shifts and when I come back to the office Monday my desk still looks the same. Sometimes I miss the hotel though. Yesterday I passed it on my (two hour) walk and I met a regular client. He's a airplane mechanic (from the States) who has seen the vietnam war. Nice man. He recognized me at once. It was great talking to him. Those talks I miss.
Oh, yes, why was I walking, usually I ride my bycicle. But it was stolen last week and I am very... (I won't express that in english because of the culture difference if you know what I mean - I'll write that in Swiss) Es schiist mi grad mega a und i chönt das Arsch wo mr das ado het grad eigehändig verschloh. Ok, now I feel better :-) Anyway, I loved my bike, so that really hurts. Of course I can get a new one, but that's not the same.
Last weekend (Frieday - Monday) I participated at a counseling course. It was awesome. I was thought things about God and the Bible I've never heard before. Also I learned a lot about myself and others. The course will continue for a year (only one weekend per month). My goal is being able to counsel Teens. During that weekend I experienced God in a beautiful way and I'm very thankful that I have the chance to visit this courses.
Spring finally made it to Switzerland. So on my morning ride to work I can enjoy the sunrise over green pastures and forests(that is if I don't fall asleep). It's so magnificent. I love being here in summer, but I do dislike winter here.
Even though I'm really happy, there is still this call within me. This longing to leave, which I can't explain, because I know, for now I'm at the right place. Yet, when I wake up I hear airplanes (airport Basel) during work I see and hear them (airport Zurich) and one of the last things I hear before falling asleep is... an airplane. So when I'm at work I sometimes look after a plane that takes off and I wish I could sit in it, not because I want to get away but because something within me is gravitated towards something i can't explain...
