The Adventures of Morley

My photo
Krakow, Poland
I am currently living in the Pacific Northwest, spending my time working with students on Bainbridge Island in the Puget Sound in Washington state. I most recently returned from Krakow, Poland where I was working at an international school. I spent my youth (or much of it) in Europe: Belgium and then Hungary. I also lived in Bangladesh for a year, and Namibia for a summer. I love mountains and snow, but I am currently living in the land of heat, oceans, and jungles.

Jó reggelt


It's early morning when the sun rises and the dew, well almost the dew, the frost, agrees to travel to a northerner place as if it is being chased by a venomous being. It is this moment of time I have passion in the most because I no longer have to hide from my own fore and after thoughts that consume the darkness. It's a morning that ghosts hate but lovers love. This is not a cry from a bird looking for its song. No.
It is a man who needs his sleep but cannot find a place for his head. He has four rooms, all equipped with a soft place for one to doze, but he does not lay. His thoughts see beasts and murderers and lies and weakness. And yet the morning comes, slinking its way through the houses and grass and a ladybug's playground.
Nobody can stop what's coming to them. For it is no stopping- the world will not halt for your pleasure. I am no longer ready to let my future hold me back. I'm back-holding the future. It's only whats coming for me, why don't I go? Not wait. On your marks, get ready, set, look up. Embrace the stars that are so clear and the night that is so perfectly smooth that you drink it. Ever-lasting quench that no energy drink could fulfill. I will not hide in this darkness. I'm ready for the morning. I am not ready to wait. I'm going. Good morning. Jó reggelt

Winter blues and spring greens

Winter is slowly icing itself away and spring is sure to come. Second semester is about halfway through but I am excited for this year to be over and for summer to come! I am now a political science major but I am excited for this new path.
Not really in the typing mood but I will surely write soon

Morley


—Morley–

Beyond the meadow of the moor
lived an old chap who claimed his rule
over all he spoke.
Fear nothing, for you are my own.
I have loved you.
I hope you shall n’t be lost.
The gentle men’s soul spoke
in the wind, centuries fell like rain.

They spoke with unequivocal song
like that of a fairy tale, not a nightmare,
just a mystery.
They cried for a place on the earth
they traveled. Ever so dearly they cried
Not of pity, but of love, and strength.
Their veins smelt of cocoa and cinnamon,
their skin tasted of vigilance and heat.

The old man may be seen,
trotting along as he did before,
for it was he who began the remembrance.
No longer an ancestor. A giver.

They was she. The meadow. The moor.
The nature that bled from deep in her heart
like a leaf from an oak: slowly but surely

A star shone. Not one. But an eyes-view
of stories, or places yet unknown. For the
old chap didn’t know all the the places

she would go.

I can't feel my face

BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS WILL ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE AREA TONIGHT... WITH VALUES BETWEEN 25 AND 45 BELOW ZERO ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND WESTERN WISCONSIN THROUGH SATURDAY

Yes, that is a winter advisory for cold weather. Coldest week of the year- you can tell i'm overly enthused. Oh- and I have a job now! Working at the school cafeteria, i know you are excited as I am. (Mom and Dad, you are happy to hear that i'm sure) :)
much love and stay warm!
