Aller Liefste Schat


Nog nooit heb ik het moeilijk gevonden om hier te posten, maar nu na het overlijden van mijn vrouw. Is alles zwaar. Lieve schat we missen je zo ontzettend daar zijn geen woorden voor, verdriet, onwerkelijk, vreemd.
Leven zonder je hoe ?

Vreemd, onwerkelijk
een lichaam
een leven
eens vol liefde
eens vol energie
en nu
dat zelfde lichaam
zonder leven
zonder je liefde
zonder je warmte
zonder je pijn
zonder je angsten
zonder jouw
voor altijd
hou ik van je
gisteren, vandaag en voor altijd

~

Strange, unreal
a body
a life
once full love
once full energie
and now
that same body
without life
without your love,
without your warmt
without your pain
without your fears
without you
I love you, always
Yesterday, today and forever

Alfred

Tonight's The Next

















A little over a year after earning her bachelor’s degree, Angela Mukul is reaching for the golden ring — a recording contract.
Mukul, who has performed solo on stage since she was 15, sang Lady Gaga’s “You and I” before an audience of 1,800 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles last month. That performance, along with those of five other contestants, will be aired tonight on “The Next” at 9 p.m. on the CW Network.

“It felt really good,” she said this week while waiting to hear how she does. “I think I did well.”
“The Next” is a reality program in which contestants work with music industry superstars over a period of 72 hours, and then compete head-to-head before a live audience. The winner of that round moves on to the semifinals.

Humanities commission focuses on arts in education
















The first word Gloria Estefan said she ever learned in English was “stupid.”
It was more than four decades ago when Estefan — now known around the world for her music — began first grade in San Antonio, Texas, and she didn’t speak a word of English.
Stupid, she said was “what the kid next to me called me because I couldn’t communicate in his language.”
“Needless to say, six months later, I wrestled away the reading award from his hot little hands,” she said, because of her teacher’s dedication.
Estefan, who has been an advocate for music in schools, told the story of her educational background — including the importance of music and humanities courses and teachers — as part of her testimony to the American Academy Commission on the Humanities & Social Science at Miami Dade College on Friday.
Estefan was one of 12 local educational, cultural, business and philanthropic leaders to testify in front of the national commission about the importance of humanities and social sciences in education.
Estefan stressed the need to fund art and music and classes that “make students think
