Hamlet - Prince of Denmark
I'm back from the theatre after almost three hours in the wonderful, scary, beautiful world of William Shakespeare. What is it about this author - he lived more than five hundred years ago, but he still captures me with wisdom, wit, truth, passion, challenging questions and a lot of humor. To look into hate, to look into love, betrayal and passion, like in tonight's play Hamlet, helps us and reminds us that there is a world both out there and within us that challenges us to live more passionately. That's not necessarily about DOING a lot, but more about an attitude. Maybe we are to acknowledge the passion within, to look for it in humans around us, to listen for it in our faith, in love and even to acknowledge our anger and desperation? Mr. Shakespeare reminds me once again that we are to live our lives to the fullest, to draw out every drop of life as long as we've got it!

Hello from Seattle,
I wanted to write that I really enjoyed the story from your father's diary.
We went to Sweden and Norway this summer and had a good time. I could not believe how busy Oslo was. Lots of construction. We flew up to Bardufoss and drove out to Bo i Vesteraalen. It was kind of stormy,
but beatiful.
It is stormy here now and rivers have gone from a summer low a few days ago to 7-10 feet above flood level. Tons of rain.
Take care, BallardGordo
How great. I love greetings from Seattle - my hometown for a year :). Thanks for the comment about my father's story - It's always nice to know that people actually look it up.
All the best!
