=========================

Autumn has officially arrived in Amsterdam. A storm was brewing when an airplane was kind enough to pose for me on the way to my Freemason's Lodge:

Earlier that evening, this is what the clouds looked like:

Things looked a bit brighter a couple of hours earlier, crossing the communal garden on my way to a neighbour for tea

The next day I went to see the illustrator of my children's book in the town of Zwanenburg. Got of the bus at Halfweg, a small town halfway Amsterdam and Haarlem which name literally means 'Halfway'. A good day, although a bit dissapointing weather wise. A slight drizzle and not very intimidating clouds.

Got the inspiration for this piece of prose, walking from a neighbour's home to mine, crossing the communal garden:

All is well (a #poem)

Cello music fills the street

through an open window. 

An unknown neighbour is practicing. 

While a couple of birds

are squabbling over who knows what 

and a tram rings the bell 

to guide tourists to the sidewalk 

and a neighbour shares tea 

with a neighbour 

with whom she shares 

food and stories. 

All is well.
