From Calvary to Gambrini (Buy my book)

This is a true story of my journey from Calvary to Gambrini, as I remember it from the 1970s and 1980s.

Because I was bullied at school and I often felt very lonely, I needed an imaginary friend. At the age of fifteen, I publicly confessed my faith. I had found the suffering and bleeding Christ crucified on the hill of Calvary. He loved me and managed to save me from my loneliness. I made new dear friends, and life was more exciting. Faith guided my choices in life.

From Calvary, I traveled a long way to Gay Gambrini. I opened its door at the age of 31. For sixteen years, I had denied myself and carried my cross. Now, being myself, I started a new life. I found a new kind of love, and many of my friends changed. What should I think about religion now?

From the reader: "Vivid text and relentless humor. A ruthlessly honest investigation on searching and finding oneself. Never bitter, but, even when criticizing, with a gentle twinkle in the eye. An in-depth and touching journey of life. Thank you for the honor of having been able to take part in your journey and now being included in this story."

Now

The best moment in life
Is not connected to time
The best is now
It's magic somehow

Bright Daylight and Blue Skies

Today the daylight
Was as bright
As my mind
Today the skies
Were as blue as my eyes
It felt so good and right
After a very long time

I'm Fantastic

I'm fantastic
Almost magic
To know me
Is to love me ♡♥❤

Trust

Is trust for free?

What can it be?

Have you always trusted

Until you've been busted?

Or does one have to earn it

Before you learn it?

Beauty

There is so much beauty around

So much beauty in my eyes

Beauty is also a sound

Beauty never dies

Summer on the Ferry Island

It's summer on the Ferry Island

In our beautiful land

On the coast, a swan has a nest

And it's hatching its best

The seagulls are playing around

The water is foaming with a sound

This is nature's best moment and place

And peace is filling my face

Ending the game

Now I see clearly
