Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits."Roland BARTHES ~ A https://alicemcduff.blogspot.com/2025/07/a-lovers-discourse-fragments-i-am-i-in.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31593978.post-185301125793084867Wed, 12 Feb 2025 00:32:00 +00002025-02-12T01:32:07.536+01:00 https://alicemcduff.blogspot.com/2025/02/womanhood.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31593978.post-257971409667057217Fri, 15 Mar 2019 09:09:00 +00002019-03-15T11:40:55.181+01:00A slow motion takes me along my way A strong voice leads me to a wider place. Deep inside, a man of faith enwraps my soul He´s not stumbling, he´s bold enough to drive the race. A slow motion shifted him onto my winding route, No more tilting at windmills calling out for me. Deep down, feelings are arising from the change Firmly guiding me towards a giant sea. Rough or calm, we´re sailing https://alicemcduff.blogspot.com/2019/03/a-slow-motion.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31593978.post-3361122313311270392Sat, 28 Jul 2018 08:00:00 +00002018-07-28T09:00:24.284+01:00 https://alicemcduff.blogspot.com/2018/07/gimmie-shelter.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31593978.post-3361889910754929584Sun, 24 Jun 2018 12:43:00 +00002018-07-09T14:04:47.165+01:00      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SesWRweA4fM    https://alicemcduff.blogspot.com/2018/06/moving-structures.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31593978.post-5274324588956377994Wed, 02 Aug 2017 15:35:00 +00002018-07-09T16:24:38.838+01:00 https://alicemcduff.blogspot.com/2017/08/red-moods-ii.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31593978.post-5542902927186755257Thu, 13 Jul 2017 15:27:00 +00002018-07-09T16:24:48.693+01:00 https://alicemcduff.blogspot.com/2017/07/turquoise-moods-iii.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31593978.post-4931873526789620511Fri, 07 Jul 2017 09:22:00 +00002018-07-09T16:24:59.388+01:00 https://alicemcduff.blogspot.com/2017/07/turquoise-moods-ii.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31593978.post-6824516064666404621Wed, 14 Jun 2017 09:10:00 +00002018-07-09T16:25:08.433+01:00 https://alicemcduff.blogspot.com/2017/06/turquoise-moods.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31593978.post-7232140066815134483Sat, 27 May 2017 22:09:00 +00002018-06-24T13:08:31.603+01:00     Well, my Mama told me'Loreley, listen to me!
