Opa Johan May Have A Poor Appearance But ...

Opa Johan may have a poor appearance from the outside but from the inside he is a very rich man. He could almost find beauty anywhere, enjoys what he does. He sees, hears, reads the same as others. Yet, he could find beauty in reflections of leaves on his wristwatch, on a window pane of a car, their shadow on a wall, their outlines against the sky, in waterdrops as diamonds in the sun on it, in a flame of a candle, in the artistically rising smoke of a burning joss-stick, in warbling, twittering birds, in water babbling, splashing, gurgling, Enjoy seeing a mother duck with ducklings on the water, a mother chick with little chicks shelter beneath her wings, watch an eagle, herons sailing in the air, a rimpling lake, ants running, chasing excitedly, see colorful buni berries, eat durian, ... He could mention pages.

“I don’t want heaven. I’m just lucky not to be born in bad times, war. This life on earth is more than OK, so wonderful, so fascinating,” he said to me.

And I comfort myself with my blog-book that also has a poor appearance from the outside, yet, I dare say, is also rich in thoughts. Beyond my  imagination my blog-book is realized, made now. I have previewed my blog book. I need not wait till I’m 90  in 2020 or 100 years in 2030.  What a happy surprise! I’ve no fear of plagiarism as my thoughts are not sale-able, as no one would, could sell them. You could have one but I would dissuade you, for the price – printing cost – is relatively high and my blog-book is far from a good-looking book of a professional publisher as I myself am editor, publisher. Yet despite of it am I still proud of. But if you still insist to have one, go ahead, contact  the Blogbooker Inc. who printed ‘Leisurely Reading’ and don’t you ever be sorry afterwards.

But that was as I imagined it, for I could not pay, transfer the money according to their payment regulation. However, I’m not worried, disappointed, as now I can find another blogbooker who would be willing to receive a money transfer to their account.
