Installment NΒ°7 in the Horse seriesAs of today, Friday, May 23. This horse has found a new and loving master in the name of Pat, a.k.a MIMULUX, who has shown herself to be a true horse lover. I am convinced they will be happy together.

We're both thrilled - he to make such a grand trip, I to have found him a real horse-lover. I knew the Magyar were a horse-people....

thank you.. i must admit though.. i am not a born magyar.. i just live here.. and that also just since a few months. but i love it here and i just might stay. but i am a horse person.. i always have loved horses and always will

Then you're an adopted Magyar. Who cares where you come from, it's what is in your heart that counts. And Hungary, and horses, seem to have carved themselves a good place in your heart...

yes.... i agree.......an adopted one

i never realized it was that obvious though... about the magyar especially.. i've only lived here for a couple of months

1/ If you hadn't liked it there, you wouldn't have stayed, unless forced...
2/ You didn't 'sound' unhappy or forced to me.
3/ You faved one of my horses because it reminded you of one you'd had (and loved, obviously)
Conclusion...
Good afternoon (13.20 p.m here..) to you, and as for the

well...
1. i have lived in so many places.. the last was germany for 10 years.. which was about 9 years too many!
2. true.. i am happy here.. getting over my german trauma
3. absolutely correct!
good afternoon to you too..... 14.47 here.. 30 degrees C in the shade, windy.. sunny...... LOVELY

LUCKY!... 17.28 p.m here, now, and the temperature has culminated at 22Β°c everywhere, since there is no
TEN years in Germany? I daren't ask where, the northern hanseatic cities (Hamburg, Bremen) being rather interesting, and the population more open-minded, like in Berlin. I spent one MONTH in SCWABEN (just north of Bavaria), near Stuttgart, and that was a small preview of Hell. I feel for you, really, in retrospect...
You may have found home, finally. Like the Magyar, you were a wanderer, until you found the place that was meant for you.
Much, much gladness for you and your horsie. Hope you'll get another flesh-and-bones one, some day.
Agnès.

dear agnès!
i see that you KNOW.. and i fully agree.. hamburg, bremen, kiel.. schwerin.. are ok places. if you call stuttgart a preview of hell.. then if i tell you that i lived in the furthest, most north-eastern part of bavaria, also known as upper franconia, (or germany's siberia, being the coldest area in germany), right on the borders to saxony, thuringia and the czech republic... i think that says it all. dante's purgatory was a fairy playground in comparison.
and i agree in perhaps having found a home. it does feel like home here.... i love the countryside.. the people are awesome.. friendly, open, fun, humorous, respectfull, sincere... and should i ever get a real horsie again...... you'll be the first to know
many

Hello, Pat the wanderer...
Schwaben was OK, as far as climate and landscape went - well, wayyy overpopulated, more like a conurbation than anything else - but the population's mentality goes way beyond reactionnary. It was a linguistic stay in a local family - rather aged people, with very set ideas and some prejudices agains the French, although they were too polite to express them overtly. Bavaria is worse, in the 'reactionnary' category, as are all moutain regions or countries. A matter of long-lasting isolation - and I mean centuries.
Now, I have nothing to say about Thuringe and Saxony - except that I thought the Saxons were from northern Germany, on the Noth Sea, from which they went and conquered the British Islands... Must be a damn beautiful region, though... As for upper Franconia... That must have been the homeland of our own conquerors, the Franks. Must have been a hardy and rough people, and western Germany and Gaul mut have looked like Valhalla to them, a warrior's paradise..
Do you like wandering the world, or would you be glad to find a place to call your own, with people you like, finally?
If you become an adopted Magyar, You'll HAVE to have your own live horsie!

good morning agnès!
saxony is also bordering on the czech republic.. both saxony and thueringia being 'new' german states.. both belong to the former german democratic republic. the border of that.. the 'wall' was approx. 500 meters from where i lived. that alone made for a very uncomfortable and.. mmh.. weird atmosphere. one village, not 1 km away from us was divided in two.. just like that. a little brook ran right through its middle and that was the 'border'.. and wham the wall was erected there. now there is a museum, an open air museum in this village..
oh i like wandering the world.. i have lived in africa, asia and various european countries... i do not know if i am ready to settle.. i let things happen as they come
ah yes.. you are right..... should i decide on settling down here.. i will get a live horsie
pat
π: 0 β©: 1
I suppose THAT was not the best place to settle...even for a few months. I won't be indiscreet enough to ask why you had to stay put ten years, but that must have been hell, indeed.
I think I would have been footloose, too - even if I have very strong roots here - had my health not gone to the dogs in the last twenty years now. And it would seem the worst is yet to come, my back playing very cruel tricks on me. So I guess I'm stuck....
Well, I suppose you won't need ten years to decide if this is your home at last, or if you're ready to pack up and leave again... But slow-building relationships are often stronger than loves at first sight...
Whatever you decide, in the end, I hope you'll keep in contact... tell me your adventures, and discoveries...
Thank goodness for internet, to keep in contact with your friends, no matter what
π: 0 β©: 1
oh.. you may ask.. i have asked myself many times the same question. the answer i guess is simple... i was like.. mesmerized... you know.. from all the bad stuff that had happend there.. traumatized into becoming immobile..... i needed one final shock to wake me...... and then things started moving fast.
i had a very bad car accident some years back and i get a disability pension.. that has made it possible for me to live abroad.. to move.. but after the euro came into 'life' things got so expensive that even in germany i could barely survive on my income. hungary is different however. i can live here.... quite comfortably and safely.. it is a totally new kind of life for me .. believe me.. or no.. i should say it differently.. my life is finally coming back to normal after those terrible years in germany... that is more like it.
nd i agree.. slow-building relationships can be stronger than the quick ones..
i would love to stay in contact with you.... we could also exchange notes..... or emails if you prefer !
loads of 
pat
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, when survival itself becomes at stake, hell is not far...I really hope you've found a welcoming place to settle down, even if only for a few years, until (or if) the wanderlust catches you again... and since the Euro will find you fast enough in Hungary too... You'll have some more years, though, before prices start, along with the life standards (well, I hope) catching up with those of the Eurozone... - yes, quite a few years.
The simplest way to keep in contact would be through dA notes... If you're OK with it...
Sweet, friendly
π: 0 β©: 0
And less temperamental than some others.... Thanks, and thanks, and thanks again!
π: 0 β©: 1
You're so very welcome. It's the audience (me, et al) that should thank YOU.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I don't delude myself into thinking there'll be much of an audience, but even a few will make me happy...
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, you might be surprised. It can take a little while, like rings
on the surface of water when you drop a stone, but there will be
a growing audience.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, please, no... I already can't cope with what messages I've got - still 64, not going down very fast -, I have been neglecting my own commenting, and the number of non-commented deviations is growing inexorably - 37 to this day -
More audience would mean more comments, and this would become much too time-consuming... I'd become a slave to dA, where I am already spending way too much time.
I never asked Ursula what kind of art you were in... I'll have the pleasure to find out myself.
π: 0 β©: 1
In my very first reply to you I did mention your option for
"collective thanking". 
A usual day is like 40 devs, 13 mess and 5 notes.. for me. And
then it takes a while to answer the replies on my replies. Plus,
my continual "chatting" with a few dear friends here... And I don't
comment much. Only when I feel I have somthing to say, or just
want to share my joy of how i experience the art.
It is timeconsuming. And one must learn to be a little
"impolite". Every art admirer can't have "special caring".. That's
the cruel and unpleasant reality.
And I have other sites I am trying to be on top of things in, too.
I can't always be very talkative.
expect no reply.. and keep the "socialising" as notes, or threads
on some comment. A 
so much appreciated that it was worth a place in the faver's gallery.
That's the nicest "comment" of all. But getting a nice and sweet
comment in words is more fun.
The art I'm in.. as an "artist"? Music.
Do some charcoal/pencil stuff sometimes.. and I like making small sculptures
in clay.. But the short answer to your question would be.. I am an fractalist.
That's the "image" I have here on dA.
Now, my dinner is served by my kids. So I better go there and get stuffed.
/J
π: 0 β©: 1
OK, so since music isn't referenced as a visual art, you are classified as a fractalist, which is what you do most here. I may 'batch comment' on the whole series, even if each drawing has been faved individually. I am not expected to comment on every deviation on my watchlist. Concerning that last, it might be a little difficult, since Ursula and Suzanne make up the better part of this list, that both are friends, and that I find Ursula's fractals, for the most part, so fascinating, that I can't HELP commenting on them. It is a pleasure I wouldn't want to deprive myself of... 
Bon AppΓ©tit!
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahh, you have the picture clear.
Only comment that you sincerely, egoistically really want to comment.
The rest.. fav if you like it enough. Leave it if you don't. No prob. Nobody
notice it. Everybody is having a hard time just keeping their devwatch-lists
under 10 devs.. Just enjoy the art. It's a nice place in those regards.
And I have a smart and very sneaky advice... if you should have a "batch"
of art you are to submit.. say more than 3-4 pieces. Submit them like one a day.
That way you can keep the comment reply times reasonable fast. And it's easier
for the audience to see each piece in their own tempo. Most of the audience runs
through their devwatchlists which isn't fair to anybody...
Oh, merci beaucoup
π: 0 β©: 1
Alright. I won't run myself into the ground trying to keep up and comment on eveything anymore.... That's something of a relief, I was beginning to feel like a chained slave, and the pleasure was turning into a duty, and the duty into an obligation.
For any hypothetic future batch uploads, I will follow your advice. but I didn't want my babies to be dispersed...
As for running through my watchlist... it's quite the contrary, at least where Ursula's works are concerned... My comments are so long and detailed that I often fear tiring her out - and I spend so long on each, because I believe they deserve it, that the whole process is endless and carries me late into the night... 
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a question of balancing time versus enjoing the art versus being polite.
Like now, you did post 17 pictures.. it's been more than 48 hours.. and we are still
commenting those pictures, as seen from the perspactive of the threads.
It wouldn't work if you were producing art or if I was into producing. We need sleep
we need food.. and we need art too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep! My trouble is I can't do things halfway! I throw myself into them wholeheartedly, never counting my time, until they are finished and polished to my heart's content. This balancing exercise you are advising will be going against my temperament. I'll really have to force myself, but I don't think I have any other choice...

Good morning
The road ahead is defined!
π: 0 β©: 1
Is it? Where to?
I only know the road in my back. The one ahead is but a forest of question marks! 
π: 0 β©: 1
Aahh, It is for all of us. But we see the forrest.. and we will see the
individual trees when we enter.
π: 0 β©: 1
And then it will not be the future anymore, but the present. I rest my case! 
π: 0 β©: 1
And it is always the present we are living in. For better or for worse.
I rest my case too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Uh-ho....And weren't you the one saying : 'the road ahead is defined?' I won't insist...
π: 0 β©: 1
"Ahead" is a room aspect.. as well as an aspect of time.. and a very relative
one. "Ahead" implicates a position that one is viewing from... changing that
postion gives a new "view".. I am not sure what I am unclear about.
π: 0 β©: 1
Nothing. You are perfectly clear... Ahead is an infinite vaiable of space and time, according to the subject's position. And the view ahead is clear, indeed.... 
π: 0 β©: 1
Do you know that you are "divine" with the words! My utmost respect.
Can I say that your writing is Beautiful? Estethically pleasing, even if
I don't always agree with the content.
Are you having much pain now? You might need a good rest? I am here
more or less always.
π: 0 β©: 1
Usually, when the pain is over, it's well and truly over, no other remnant than a dragging, dispiriting tiredness.... till the next time. I'm good now.
As for my use of words.... I love them, used to write, poetry, novels (outlandish) etching and polishing words and sentences for hours, so much I loved the look and sound of a smoothly flowing sentence... It all stopped about the same time as the rest (drawing, painting). I think I am a craftswoman at heart, whatever the craft...
π: 0 β©: 1
The written word can be a Deviation on dA too. You have noticed that?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep. But a) in those days I wrote in French, b) neither of my two 'big' novels is finished (they both stopped dead at about the same time) and c), I wouldn't inflict my pompous, neo-romantic poetry even on my worst enemy. One has to have some self-respect, right? - So, all in all, I really don't have any 'written words' to offer that anyone would bother to read..... 
π: 0 β©: 1
a, b and c = You are soon to judge what other ppl would "bother" or not., aren't you?
The other arguments are valid though, I can respect that the creator "doesn't want" to
release a creation. For whatever reason that might be.
Aah, atheist. What does that mean? I am personally a rabid anti-creationist.
π: 0 β©: 1
Atheism is a form of rationalism that excludes the existence of supernatural, all knowing, all powerful essential beings immune to space, time and, thus, to entropy. In short, essential beings exempted of the universal laws of physics.
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay, thanks for the definition. I have seen many definitions. This one I can
agree with. In that case I am a rabid atheistic anti-creationist.
Regarding the other thread we have. I wont reply on that one. I declare you
the holder of the last word. Congratz.

What does an 'danzing' furry icon looksq like? Or did I m(misunderstand? 
(note to myself: will have to ask Ursula)
π: 0 β©: 1
I am sorry. I was sloppy. I should have clicked the "preview" but
cliked the "send".. Below you see a : iconfurrydanceplz : Cute?
π: 0 β©: 1
That I do! That's not a dA one....Where do you guys get your extra emotes ?- not that I am emote-crazy like U, but some are really too outlandish (or, in this case, cute) for words! 
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh.. this one I got from a message from *terrye634 . I asked her
where she found them (she haf a whole gang od new ones) and
she told me to click on the "Browse" icon at the top of the dA-page
and select "Customisations", and "emoticons".. I did, and thee is
a whole world of dA'ers making them. And art-form by itself. What
I didn't found out, and am still about to ask her about, is why all
those I found didn't was usable as ":iconblabla:...
So, I can only help you halfway. I think =Dragonfly113 knows
the secret too... But I don't, not yet. But I will find out! Must have
knowledge..
