An Evil Apple

 

I go to the forest and talk to the trees in the woods.

They answer me with the mouths of birds.

Birches and pines are worried,

For the spirit of the forest dwells in them.

They tell me,

When a tree falls, the soul shrinks,

Until it is too weak to survive.

I answer that I feel great shame,

Because when the spirit of the forest dies

Every living creature dies

Not only people.

 

 

                                                                             I start to cry

A sparrow lands on my shoulder

And says:

I am singing as long as I breathe.

I answer that's what you do:

You comfort us faithless,

Though we don't know

Other tunes than our praise,

Which is other creatures' submission.

 

When I leave the animals,

They ask if I'm coming back.

I answer that I have not earned their love.

Don't worry because we are blessed.

We are God's joy, love, goodness, and light.

I thank them and think:

This course of events must happen.

When an evil apple ruins the world.

My Heart is Dancing, Sydämeni tanssii

 

My Heart is Dancing

My heart is dancing

Because inside me

is the companion.

Sydämeni tanssii

Sydämeni tanssii,

koska minussa

on kumppani.

Fraus orgia habet; Fraud Has Orgies

 

 

Fraus orgia habet

Mi volo currere domum.
Ibi vita est pulchra.
Deformitas non subsequitur
in cubiculum meum.
Sed ubi est domus mea?
Mi non vidio trans fraudem,
quae orgia habet ubique.

Fraud Has Orgies

I want to run home.
Life there is beautiful.
Deformity does not follow
Into my bedroom.
But where is my house?
I do not see beyond the fraud
That has orgies everywhere.

Doormat

When an unpopular person
gives up that character trait,
which people don’t like
he becomes a doormat.

The Apple You Can’t Eat

 Una mela che non puoi mangiare

 

The Apple You Can’t Eat

It isn’t easy to understand this world.

It’s like an apple you can’t eat,

But it still haunting before your eyes

And ask you to swallow.

Next Saturday is My Birthday, and I Like to Give You a Gift

 

Next Saturday (March 11) is my birthday. That’s why I want to give you something to thank you for visiting my site. At least some of you have wondered how I make my kaleidoscopes. Therefore, I will reveal it to you one way. First, there must be a drawing, the raw print I always make manually. After that, edit the drawing in Gimp, a free image editing program. Still, it is possible to create good kaleidoscopes even from a picture drawn with a pen.

Below is a drawing of the starting point this time. I have added different layers to the bottom part in Gimp.

 Then I started running ornaments from the drawing using the G’Mic add-on available for Gimp. On the GIF presentation, you can browse some of the examples.

 

Here is a YouTube video on G’Mic to Gimp

This is the path how you’ll find the Kaleidoscope tool:
Filter-menu (or whatever menu where you G’Mic is)/G’Mic-QT/Deformations/Kaleidoscope

Note that the add-on doesn’t work before you open the picture file.

 

 

Help Yourself Is the Best Policy to Learn

I am sure you will understand that I cannot give everyone a piece of personal advice. If you are interested in manipulating pictures, you must be very patient and learn things at your own pace.

Please let me know which of the examples most pleases you. When I know your favorite one, I will upload it here so you can download it yourself. You are free to use my drawing and test what kind of ornaments you get with the help of the G’Mic add-on.

If You Want to Give Me a Present

Please watch the video below if you want to give me a present. I am singing my first recorded song with accompanying myself with the guitar.

 

Experienced in these years

Listen to: http://youtu.be/aZrRBb7rAlg14

Too much, I have experienced in these years,
Too many are those who owe me tears.
I remember that gray platform
Where the rain carried a friend.

Refrain:

Then do not bloom
My dear apple trees,
Neither anyone whispered in my ear:
Darling, do not forget me.

Never I have been afraid
Yet on this trip until tomorrow.
Little boy has avoided the dangers
side by side the kind woman reflection.

The refrain

I know mothers weeping eyelids
Do not explain the words out loud,
They just give their love for guidance
and prayers for protection.

The final two times:

Now bloom my dear
Sacred apple trees.
They have the heavenly scent,
The fragrance that never go away.
