III./In you the rivers sing and my soul flees in them/as you desire, and you send it where you will./Aim my road on your bow of hope/and in a frenzy I will free my flock of arrows.

V./But my words become stained with your love./You occupy everything, you occupy everything./I am making them into an endless neckless/for your white hands, smooth as grapes.

XIV./My words rained over you, stroking you./A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body./I go so far as to think that you own the universe./I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells, dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses./I want/to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.

After my business trip in Stockholm, my interest in Swedish is piqued so… I'm currently learning Swedish! A good Swedish friend—let's call him Popeye—has been sending me ‘homework’ and I liked this one in particular, because it's so meaningful and true. I've also seen it in Italian.

I started learning Swedish in October this year and am actively using Duolingo as one of my few study materials. I'll be jotting my progress as I go along and so far I'm progressing really well.

After eight years of being the proud owner of a Nikon DSLR, I finally decided to get a new camera. I switched camp to Fujifilm. To a mirrorless camera. That's right, no more Nikon for me. I had many fond memories with my good old Nikon D40 for it had accompanied me to many places and countries.
