When you feel under the weather, it is pretty nice to know that you have good people around you and you are important for them.

Csupán stilisztika vagy mégsem? Egy szóvivő és egy riporter kérdezz-felelek játékától ... az édes anyanyelvünkig. Vagy épp fordítva, édes anyanyelvünktől a szővivőségig, a riportig.

Your task is to find how the "system" has been built up, whatever the field is you wish to investigate and study. First build the frame of your long-term language learning.

"When you realise that you must change something in the flow of your every days, it is the first step on the way towards the solution."

... was the first to think of when I woke up this morning.  

While I was walking in the park with my puppy, the slogan of a commercial was in my mind: "Don't drive faster than your guardian angel follows you on the sky!" I was thinking whether my angel can follow me or I have overtaken her and I am out of the field of her vision long ago. I have felt it for a long time that there must be a star in the sky shining for me; it represents my guardian angel for me. When I thought of the option that I might have left her, I felt emptiness in my heart and in my soul. I wish her to accompany me. 

The next thought was, what would "get off" mean. I liked none of the possible options. No, I don't want to get off. But definitely I must reduce the speed, I must ease up a bit. I've felt it for a while that I have been diflected from the way I would like to go on and I should go on. Well done, Kathrin - I told myself. To be able to realise all these might be the first step towards the solution of the problems. 

At this point I recalled a picture from the very past. A picture from Paris, when I was standing at the foot of the Arc de Triomphe  in the centre of the “Place Charles de Gaulle” and I felt to be so small and vulnerable. From this place twelve avenues begin forming the shape of a star. This morning I felt to be standing at the same place of my life without a map not knowing which street to choose. How to select the street I must go on???

I wasn't able to describe any possible methods for making my decision. On my way home I tried to clear my mind as there were some things for today to arrange.

At home I packed my bag and after having some rest I was outside again.Yesterday I made an appointment with my landlady to settle the bills of the flat I live in.While sitting on the tram and then on the bus to her I was thinking how life is iniquitous. ... with others.

This week I met one of neighbours in the court where I live. I live amoung a small community of nice people. The neighbour I met is the husband of a young smart couple, at about 30, without children. We started to chat and after a while I asked him, whether her wife was working too late then and the last few weeks as I hardly had seen her.  He answered me that she was in hospital. Some moments later he continued. 3 months ago she realised something in her body. Then it was identified as a tumour. She was operated and after some days of recovery she was keen on to go to work again.

We met several times during these weeks and I didn’t realised any changes in her and in their life. She was smart and lovely as always. She was smiling whenever we met. Then at one of the controls cancer was diagnosed in other parts of her body. Right after this one of her breast has been amputated. That’s why she is in hospital now.  I couldn’t even say a single word. While I was putting together my thoughts and trying to brace myself up to reply he went on talking as if cancer would be only a serius flu and nothing more.  He talked about theirs plans: first to get at least one puppy, but might be two of them. One for her and one for him. (Now everyone in the community spoilts my puppy. I’m sure they will be excellent owners.)

Secondly to start to go for running regularly again that would be good for both the owners and the dogs. Then some other plans as they have to put off the biggest and most fantastic project of life – to have a child - at least for five years.   I was standing there shocked by the astonishment. Whatever fast the medical science has been developing, the most awful disease is knocking on their door and they don’t lose their happiness, they have power to fight against it as fighting against a simle illness and they think of the short and long-term future.  I have never had anyone in my close company to suffer from cancer. This was brand new for me and made me think of what is important in life. I really wish them to get over it.  With the above thoughts in my head I was approching to my destination.

My landlady is also a nice lady. Whenever I meet her it is a lovely meeting with a nice chat. It happend as it does always, even about the things due to I felt blue. It was amazing what clear thoughts she has. When I said goodbye to her, I felt to have been given something by talking with her. On my way back I was much calmer than in the morning. I felt to be tired a bit so I decided to lie down for a little after arriving home.Before doing it I checked my mail-box. I found a mail from my sweetheart.  Last evening I wrote him a long letter involved in it the things that weight on me. These were mostly not new things but seem to be getting stronger and stronger.His feedback was clear and honest, confirming my feelings and my thoughts how to go on. Reading his mail was the first time I felt that I might manage to find the way to select for myself.

His lines touched my heart so gentle that I started to cry due to the happiness. Meeting him was the most generous and gorgeous present of my life. Thanks for him. In some minutes I felt asleep from the tiredness.  When I got up in the afternoon, I decided to read some blogs at nol. My favorite is Csaba’s blog „Égi tünemény”, „Superterrestrial phenomenon” (I don’t know how he would translate it. – He is a translator.). He writes the story of his daughter who was born with a serious illnes and who was said not to have chance to survive and even to live more than some weeks. As I now they can celebrate her 1st birthday soon and the tumour in her head is smaller than it was, which is the miracle itself. Reading his blog was the second time today when my eyes filled up full with tears and felt to be lucky as I am and my beloved are healthy and we have no problems like these two families have.  I felt my guardian angel again with me. The thoughts and feelings of today were not only in my head but even in my heart. I was almost sure to find the way I am looking for.  

Then I told myself, it was time to start to learn. In 10 days I will sit for exams. For my final exams that are very important for me.

This course I visited is said to belong to the highest level of the education, connected to my profession, available now in Hungary. Anyhow, I do not feel now that I am reaching the top soon. This exam is important for me not only because of its importance but due to my teacher and tutor whom I appreciate very much, and from whom I got the most at this course. 

I am aware that all the things I have studied is mine and no one can take away from me and all the things I study is not for the teacher.

Anyhow, I think now the only thing I can give him in return for the thoughts he transferred and for those he didn’t mentioned but could be adopted if you listened to him carefully, the only thing in return might be at this point and at this time to be very good at the exam.  

I couldn’t turn to learn. I decided not to force as I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on  it. and it might be much more beneficial to get wise first to the things running criss-cross in my mind. 

A song was intoned on the radio: "Let me closer" from the Hungarian band called Republic. 

Tell me never to fear,
Tell me that the fire doesn’t burn,
Tell me that nothing can hurt,
Tell me you wait for me until I find you.

Tell me more lies.

Tell me that I live over and over,
You understand me, even if I don’t speak.
Tell me that no one can hurt,
No one might see you in the darkness

Tell me more lies.

Tell me that all was true,
All the words I belived,
Bring me warmness if I am cold,
Love me as I wish.

Tell me more lies.

Let me get closer,
Let me to be with you there,
I wish to see and feel that might be
Let the fire burn so that I might see you,
If it hurts you don’t tell me true.

I always enjoyed this song but today it had special sounds for me.

You do not have to tell me never to fear, that the fire doesn’t burn, that nothing and no one can hurt, that you wait for me until I find you.

I know that you understand me, even if I don’t speak, I know that all was true, all the words I believed and I know you don't tell me lies.

You bring me warm if I am cold, you love me as I wish.

I do not have to  ask you to let me get closer to you or let me be with you as I can get nestle to you at all time!

 

I wish to enjoy your love and friendship as long as possible. I may love and I am loved.

Well, now I don't think I have real problems.

Thanks for this day whatever will happen.
