The value of "no"

...and she said, what she wanted and needed to say at this particular moment. Without the slightest hesitation, Amelia asked him to stop the car, looked boldly into John's eyes (which expressed hope, desire and maybe uneasy conscience...) and whispered;"Why me? What made you think that I could be interested in you? You take it for granted that I will find you 'a perfect match', but why?"She sighed deeply and said quietly to herself - "because you are richer...and you want to buy me like a jewel" and then Amelia added;"I'm not alone, though I'm still single - don't you understand it? Loneliness and boring life, it refers to you and your wife! By the way, you didn't mention your children, how would your daughter react if she knew her dad sleeps with her teacher???"All the time John was staring at this young woman with astonishment, he knew it didn't make sense to answer all her questions, she wasn't able to understand him, his pain - he felt so unhappy with Sophie, but he sti...

When you are at a typical Polish party, you should expect the nice atmosphere, lots of sit-down meals and the ocean of alcohol. If the hosts are middle aged or older, you must drink with them Polish vodka, even you prefer wine or beer - the must is a tradition. Who cares, whether you like it or not? No one.As soon as Amelia sat down at the table next to some older people, the host (Sophie) asked her to drink one symbolic glass of vodka (she knew Amelia hated drinking vodka). So she drank it, then ate some delicious dishes (Polish chicken soup and fried pork chops), meanwhile the guests were discussing political issues and talking about their families. It was quite funny for most of the guests, but not for Amelia (who started looking at her watch after 3 hours and was thinking how to leave the party). Meanwhile the hosts (middle aged couple) telling some dirty jokes, made some strange remarks referring to our modest Amelia."Well, my dear, everyone has fantasies - mine are related to ...

Money, money, money
2008-02-19 14:03:00
It's quite probable that I didn't explain that the high school, which was Amelia's place of work wasn't a typical Polish school. First of all, you should know that its students considered themselves as a sort of "business cream". This expression, which is an idiom invented by Amelia, refers to so called - newly rich (the people, about whom you can read in"Great Gatsby", for example). And they were right, they were an elite, in a sense. Firstly, all of them were mountaineers, whose relatives were Polish American people. They often went to visit them in New York, Chicago or New Jersey. Thanks to their rich grandpas, uncles or aunts they had a unique chance to see the USA and to earn lots of bucks. In Poland they could establish their own small companies and be successful. That's why the region called in Polish "Podhale" is one of the richest regions in Poland.... Amelia didn't feel very well among the people,as some of them considered her less attractive, judging the value of he...

Money talks
2008-01-31 18:04:00
Money 'talks" (intro)"Money, Money, Money - it must be funny in a rich man's world.." Amelia remembered the lyrics of some songs by Abba quite well (when she was a kid, it was her favorite band), the other tune which she liked singing while taking a bath, came back from a different country and was performed by Pink Floyd, it was "Another Brick in the Wall" She hated being another anonymous part of the social structure governed by those who have power. Amelia understood the meaning of the songs very well, and her interpretation seemed to be deep and very moving. for this young woman, the world of the rich and powerful was strange - she cared for money and her position in the society, but didn't need to have everything at any price. She preferred her idealism, though she felt that most of the newly rich despise her and treat her as a hopeless and helpless creature. What Amelia despised in them, was the greed for money and need for power, they wanted to manipulate others.. and posse...

I was touching the white clouds
2007-11-28 20:06:00
I was touching the white clouds...It was sunny and warm spring, all creatures seemed to wake up after long, snowy winter - mind you the winter near the Tatra Mountains is really severe, though beautiful at the same time.Amelia has always liked warmth and even thought she would have felt much better living in the southern part of Europe (France, Greece or Spain), where the climate is mild and the temperatures are much higher. But at that time she was staying in one of the coldest places in Poland, maybe that's why she used to get ill quite often?Coming back to spring, as soon as it came - a mysterious pilot visited Amelia at her place of work. No wonder, she was excited and very happy, when she saw him walking through the hall in her high school. He looked nice with a sincere smile on his face. John came closer and kissed Amelia as if she were really someone important to him or even his beloved. Some students looking at this scene could think, "Our English teacher has a new man..." ...

Close to the sky, far from heaven
2007-11-28 19:51:00
Close to the sky,but far from Heaven ...On Sundays afternoon Amelia used to travel by bus from Cracow to Nowy Targ, she enjoyed the trips (lasting ab.2 hours) as such, but also meeting new people,whom she could talk to. During one of those trips she was sitting next to a handsome and talkative guy, who had only 2 serious disadvantages - he looked much older than Amelia and he was married (happily or not, who cares?). In spite of this, she found him an attractive buddy and the conversation with him gave her an intellectual pleasure. While talking, the man called John mentioned that he was a professional pilot and he worked for the Polish Parachuting Association with the team of the best Polish parachuters."It's great, I have never flown a plane as a pilot", sighed Amelia, "but when I was a child, I used to dream about being a pilot or an astronaut, which isn't typical of a small girl, is it?""Probably it's quite unusual. However looking at you, I can notice a few other things, whic...

New Market (in Polish Nowy Targ) so far from Amelia's ideal place to live
2007-11-16 15:56:00
There are some places in Poland, whose names start with the word "nowy" ("new") - you know - Nowy S?cz, Nowe Brzesko and Nowy Targ. None of them is new meaning "modern'", all of them are simply very little towns - more or less provincial. They are inhabited by conservative, traditional Polish Catholics, whose main entertainment is drinking cheap vodka, having sex with their wives or lovers on Saturdays. Mind you, that such Polish guys can't satisfy their women after consuming so much alcohol, but who cares...? Maybe the women, who try to find better lovers than their impotent partners, but they sometimes do it in vain. As drinking is a favourite activity among villagers or inhabitants of small, cosy towns.So the impotence is quite popular, though talking about the problem is a kind of "taboo" there.Have you heard that in Poland (thanks to Catholic morality) sex is a taboo and most parents don't explain anything to their children? The majority of middle-aged people (about 40 - 50 ...

Animal abuse - my vote against it
2007-09-29 12:39:00
Today I'm writing quite a different post. It's my voice and my vote against animal abuse - I see this problem in my country, but also in the whole world...One of my best friends often says "the better I know people the more I like animals" - unfortunately, I am for this opinion, which in a very sad way reveals the fact that human beings as such have more evil in themselves than they should have. According to people who believe in God, we are created in such a way that we resemble Him...looking at many people I doubt it. Of course, there are thousands of very valuable people, but they are in a minority.... I think so, looking at many families - with a problem of child abuse, at many relationships - based on abuse, cruelty, at many societies - in which there are so many crimes, at some nations - who fight in Iraq and in other countries. Our world is filled with cruelty and most people are ready to do everything for power, money etc. , even destroy their own species and nature.If you...

Moving out...
2007-09-28 16:01:00
Moving out...and its consequencesThere are people, who like constant changes and there are people, who avoid them, if it is possible.. The first category comprises those, who enjoy moving out, travelling, finding new jobs and meeting the unknown... The second one consists of those, who adore peace, silence and stability in all spheres of life.No doubt, Amelia seemed to belong to the first group - she felt wonderful as the member of the elite of brave challengers, bold competitors, creative artists, noble spirits fighting for fullfilment of their crazy ideas and great dreams. She felt as one of them, though in fact, she hadn't done anything extraordinary before. But as soon as she made up her mind and moved to Nowy Targ ("New Market" a peaceful town situated near the Tatra mountains) and began to work as a teacher in high school, some things changed for better. Amelia stopped confining her quest to love experiments. She started developing her artistic and writing skills, which weren...

As soon as Amelia closed her eyelids, her soul was transferred to the place called "The world of Erotica"..."What a strange place", thought Amelia looking around, there were so many souls there. All of them seemed to be lost and shocked, in a sense.My dear readers, I hope you can understand and forgive me - the narrator - this bold scene, it is only a description of a dream, so please, don't ask me to change the category of this blog.Coming back to my main protagonist and her exciting dream...the place didn't resemble a paradise for pure, innocent girls and boys!!! Unfortunately, or rather fortunately for our Amelia, it looked like... (I'm not sure, how to express it the best not to offend anyone?)..an orgy club in Paris. Lots of human souls (bodies) - it is difficult to say, were making love, they seemed to show all kinds of sexual positions and no doubt, looked like the happiest creatures in the world (or in the dream, as I should say).

Let's talk about sex...
2007-05-25 15:28:00
The day before the 1st November 1992, Amelia visited one of her new friends called Bo?ena, a young teacher of Maths in the primary school, in her place. This pretty blonde lived with her handsome husband (George) in a wonderful detached house. They were a nice couple - wise, open-minded and witty. It was funny to talk with them about politics, day-to-day problems and other less important issues. Exchanging the views enabled Amelia to become more assertive and easy-going. Their conversation referred also to sex, the issue - which in Catholic Poland is still a kind of taboo..."You know, I don't see, why Catholicism requires strict celibacy before marriage. Priests should realise that it's against human nature, shouldn't they?, Amelia wondered."Of course, they should, but my dear, don't forget that our JP2 is pretty conservative and no reforms are possible, thanks to our beloved Pope we have to live according to medieval principles",said George in an angry voice.(He was a Catholic,...

Leaving Cracow - starting a new stage in life
2007-05-13 19:58:00
It was another wonderful fall, Amelia started working on her thesis entitled, "Quest for love and self-knowledge in the selected novels by Edna O'Brien, Sylvia Plath and Muriel Spark". Meanwhile she got a job in elementary school and her first apartment near Nowy S?cz (the place where she was born, as maybe some of the most faithful readers remember. ). It was a wonderful experience moving to another place, starting a new stage in life. She felt relief thanks to being so far from Bogdan and the past. She even felt excited entering the school - on the first of September (it is the beginning of the school year in Poland). After work she spent her time redecorating her bedroom, living room, a nice kitchen and a small bathroom on her own (with some help of her parents and sister). It's worth adding that Dagmara - Amelia's sister - was at that time her true friend. It didn't matter that Dagi was 19 years younger - they loved and understood each other very well. Maybe for Amelia Dagi ...

A slippery road to Heaven
2007-04-26 17:10:00
Amelia had to go on living, in spite of the suffering, which poisoned her soul and mind...She seemed to be indifferent with her frozen heart and sarcastic grimace on her face. Her slim and attractive body revealed her inner self expressed by so called "3 P"; pride, pain and prejudice instead of "3 E"; eroticism, energy and empathy."The loss of unfulfilled love hurts much more than the loss of fulfilled one," she thought."But I can't give up, I must live my life fully as if my loss was a gift, thanks to which I can understand myself and the essence of true love", Amelia said to herself.It was pretty difficult to exist, study and work as if nothing special had happened. As if Bogdan was a ghost or a vampire, who must be removed from all her dreams and memories in order that Amelia could take a fresh, deep breath of new ideas. It took her some sleepless nights, but it really worked and she started a new stage in her life - putting her feet on a slippery road to Heaven , called Happines...

How to say goodbye?
2007-04-17 15:36:00
It was very late and probably Amelia would have slept her wonderful dreams if she hadn't been listening to her dad's monologue for five hours. In fact, she wasn't able to focus on his words, his harsh voice aroused anger in poor Amelia. But Eddie didn't pay attention to his daughter's reactions and feelings. He simply wanted to make her answer two simple questions: "where were you so long?" and "who was with you?" You may wonder if this guy was really mad talking to her daughter this way. Mind you, Amelia at that time was a 26-year-old, responsible and serious woman (not a kid)...No, he wasn't mad - maybe scared, as two hours before Amelia came home, he had answered the phone. During the conversation - he heard sth like that:"If your daughter doesn't leave us alone, we will send you a parcel and you will find the dust of your beloved Amelia in it".It must have been a shock for a man like him, as he began shaking throwing down the phone and crying like a small kid.

Love is blind, isn't it?

Amelia felt the warmth of his tongue on her neck, but when his fingers started marking abstract shapes on her silky skin, it took her breath away for a short while..."Don't stop it, please", she whispered in a low voice and let her body begin a wild love dance with the body of her lover. Amelia appeared to be a perfect love dancer and a wonderful teacher of this exceptional style of dancing. When finally their bodies got united in a mystical, magical communion, Amelia heard a strange voice saying, "Excuse me, but have you ordered strawberry icecreams?" She opened her eyes and.. saw the waitress standing at their table... "What a shame, how could I make love here?", Amelia couldn't help feeling some guilt. She looked around and noticed lots of eyes staring at her. She was sitting at the table petrified, her eyes expressed humiliation. No sign of former excitement could be seen on her face. In a weak voice she answered the question of the waitress and asked for the bill.Needless to ...

Love - living in Heaven and Hell (cont.)
2007-03-30 12:42:00
It was the beginning of fall 1991, (this season of the year is called in Poland "the gold fall") - the days were still warm enough to feel encouraged to go for long walks. The colorful leaves were rustling under Amelia's feet while she was wandering with Bogdan in the park. All the time she couldn't stop thinking how to make him leave the cult. She realized that he was enslaved by other Moonists, but she hoped that as an atrractive and smart woman she would find the way...Looking at them one couldn't deny they behaved like a normal couple joined by a strong mutual attraction, which was physical, intellectual and spiritual. After a long, tiresome walk they went to their favorite coffee house ("Jama Michalika" - in English "Michalik's Cave") situated in Floria?ska street. As usual it was crowded with tourists from the States, Japan and Germany - as Amelia noticed people from abroad treated this place as unique, and they were right it was the best Polish coffee house in Cracow at t...

Love- living in Heaven and Hell
2007-03-29 13:23:00
As I have promised, I'm gonna show you that Amelia as a young woman was pretty enough to arouse interest, excitement and desire... In Paris she paid attention to the young man who seemed to her a dream partner, she got so obsessed that she didn't notice that this handsome guy (tall, slim, with a very sexual voice and blue eyes) was a very important person among the Moonists. Bogdan, that was his name (there is no English equivalent, unfortunately), also seemed to like her a lot. He was looking at her in a way far from his spiritual phobias, in his eyes she noticed an unfulfilled sexual desire. After coming back to Cracow, Amelia - as I mentioned in the previous post - made up her mind not to meet anyone belonging to the cult, even him ( whom he started falling in love quite passionately)...However, Cracow isn't big enough to hide, so no wonder some months later Amelia happened to meet some Japanese "friends" of hers just outside Collegium Novum (the site of the Jagiellonian Unive...

Knocking on the Hell's Door (2)
2007-03-27 19:28:00
I must admit that I like my Amelia so much that I regret that even, when I know something really bad is going to happen, I can't prevent it or protect her in any way. I wish I could be her Guardian Angel, who might be able to tell her the words of wisdom in his subtle voice. I am pretty sure that she would listen to me, thinking that's the voice of her intuition. Yea, women, especially young, like to think that they have this gift. Maybe they have it, but I can't understand why, only few of them take use of this precious gift in their lives??? Maybe some readers of this post answer this rhetorical question.Let us come back to Amelia and the Unification Church. Can you believe that my sweet girl became so much fascinated with her new friends and so deeply involved in their activities that she didn't notice anything ???...And it is said that only love is blind,as you will see - the blindness also concerns other emotions and other relationships, interactions with people.It was a wo...

Knocking on the Hell's Door...(1)
2007-03-21 15:59:00
As soon as Amelia knocked the front door, a nice and good looking man opened it and invited the girl inside. She found herself in quite a large house crowded with young people, Polish and Japanese. After a while Amelia was given a cup of coffee and some sandwiches, she sat down among the others and started looking around. The place and the people looked really great, so she soon felt relaxed and easy while talking with complete strangers.During the meeting Amelia was invited by Agnes (a student of English Philology) to work with her staff, she was supposed to write articles for a new students' magazine. No wonder that the girl was delighted - it was the fulfillment of her dreams..., so she presented her ideas, her vision of such a magazine. And she was understood and accepted! Meanwile Amelia realized that the people present at the meeting were not only students but also young scientists.

It was October 1989, the third year of studies... Amelia was still fascinated with reading the world literature in English, watching great films in an original version (at that time it wasn't possible on TV - but students could go to the American Consulate to see them), studying history. Menwhile, one of her best friends (Liz) went to England to work and marry an Englishman (whom she met some time ago in Poland). They didn't get married - as it appeared that she couldn't love him as much as he deserved. Liz left him and moved from a small town to London. There she had a foreign affair with a Pole,to Amelia's surprise, this man was their lecturer from the Jagiellonian University (married, with a child). As a result of this long romance, Liz has her own child with him, though they aren't a couple, they are still friends. I must admit, that I know, Amelia didn't accept the situation, though she liked Liz. She simply couldn't stop thinking of this man's wife and their child..., ...

Amelia's quest for the treasury of wisdom
2007-03-14 13:35:00
To tell you the truth, Amelia felt quite good as a student - though she wasn't the best one, I admit. Studying English Philology appeared to be hard, but fascinating at the same time. If you haven't the slightest idea, how these studies looked like in Poland, I will give you some prompts. You study : English grammar, aural comprehension, reading comprehension, writing (precis, compositions, essays), conversations, translations, descriptive grammar, historical grammar, pronunciation, intonation, history of English literature, history of American literature, history of Great Britain, history of the USA, methodology, psychology, sociology and so on.(The list of obligatory subjects is much longer). The studies lasted 5 years and then you could get your M.A. Now, the system of education in Poland is a bit similar to the one in the USA (two degrees: B.A. and M.A.).While studying, Amelia learnt quite a lot, also about herself. At the beginning she didn't even want to become a teacher of...

Maybe some of you, who have never experienced true love yet, won't believe me, but I know that Amelia (despite her boyfriend's betrayal) has always loved him very much. And Przemek also couldn't stop loving her, that's why he used to visit Amelia and her parents as often as possible. They met as friends respecting the fact that he was married, as if they hadn't realized that it wasn't the solution to this strange and painful situation.After 2 years Amelia's parents made her break up the relationship with her ex-boyfriend. And she broke up with him, though he couldn't understand why??? He felt unhappy in the marriage without love, but was too young, too immature to divorce with his wife at that time. He wanted to wait until his child (Alexander) was older and then leave his wife and marry Amelia...But Amelia couldn't wait, though she wanted him so much. I wonder what would have happened to her, if she hadn't left Przemek. No doubt, this blog would be quite different.After f...

To her mother's surprise, the girl wasn't able to fulfil her request... you may ask, why? What happened to the radio of this lady? In fact, nothing happenened.

Soon it appeared that all the leaders and more important members of Solidarity were "imprisoned", but not in jails, but in special places, which looked like guesthouses.

As far as I remember, Amelia (who attended high school at that time- from 1979 to 1983) came back to school in a good mood. She felt relaxed full of positive energy after long vacations. Moreover, the girl was full of hope that some things in her school were going to change for better. Mind you, it was a typical school based on strict principles and the relationships between students and their teachers were very formal. It happened, that some teachers were even agressive towards them. I wouldn't say looking at school at those times that it was a rule, but it happened.According to Amelia, who seemed to be a subtle creature, the worst of all was abusing based on words. She noticed that some words are more painful than anything else. As using abusive words can ruin someone's psyche and lead him (her) to emotional breakdown or to death...If you are interested in this story, let's move together with me to the 80ies and see this scene...I am standing near the classrom and I am looking ...

Lech Walesa and the Solidarity Movement (1980)
2007-03-01 15:22:00
It was August, 1980 - Amelia was an attractive teenager, looking for love and a sense of life. As it was the middle of summer, she was on a vacation with her mum and three cousins. All of them were staying in Krynica (situated in the mountains), one of the most popular spas at that time - the weather was wonderful, so Amelia spent a lot of time climbing the mountains and sunbathing. In the evenings she read one of her favourite American books - it was "Love Story", by the way. The time was passing by, when Amelia heard about the strikes in the north of Poland (in Gdańsk and Szczecin) - to her surprise, they resulted in creating the Independent Labour Union called in Polish "Solid arność" (Solidarity). To understand this "surprise", you must remember, it was the time socialism in Poland - no independent organizations hadn't existed (in a legal sense) before 1980. It was the first victory, the wind of changes for better started blowing.Amelia, who didn't seem to be interested in p...

Amelia finishes her elementary school

It was June, 1979 - Amelia finished her elementary education (at those times there were 8 forms in such schools) - she had a wonderful certificate (A it was the only note she could get!). During the vacations Amelia went with her friends to the Baltic Sea, then visited her grandparents in Nowy Sącz. Meanwhile, she was dreaming about a new love - to tell you the truth, my dear readers, Amelia was a bit too assertive at that age. She neglected the boy, called Johnny, who fell in love with her, because he seemed to her too trivial and shy!!! What a silly girl Amelia was, much later she learnt how to appreciate the boys. But, unfortunately, it took her several years.Love - why do we so often reject true feelings? Why can we understand the sense of love after its loss? Why are we (or rather, some of us) so stupid and superficial in love, when we are pretty young? And then, when we are mature, sometimes we are closed in the prisons made of our hearts and minds.

My dear Amelia was deeply in love at least three times, when she was a schoolgirl in elementary school. Each time it was still a Platonic feeling, though Amelia's thoughts, emotions were far from being naive, innocent and childish. She was romantic by nature, but at the same time she was becoming a bit passsionate - in her mind. No wonder, love and passion come into being in our brain. Of course, Amelia didn't know about it, but she knew what she needed was affection - and she was looking for it in the eyes of three wonderful boys. The boys:Mark and Darek were simply the most handsome classmates, but didnt pay attention to her. For them Amelia was a friend, just a friend... And there was also Adam, whom she met during vacations in the mountains, when she was 14. It was a real love, Amelia felt his adoration, she liked his delicate hands and listened to his subtle voice saying the most vital words- "I love you". The feeling lasted some months, it was quite long, taking into account...

Well, if you have never lived in a communist country, you have no idea, how much you have lost...in a sense, of course.

Souls imprisoned in bodies, as Platon used to say. Souls imprisoned in bodies of sinners, as St. Augustine would say. Souls imprisoned in human limits, as I dare to say...But coming back to Amelia and her mum (Elizabeth) and dad (Eddie), I wanna explain that during the reign of Edward Gierek (in the 70ies) , all of them lived quite a good life. What do I mean by 'a good life' in Poland? I mean good salaries of Amelia's parents (they didn't belong to the Communist Party-they weren't the collaborators, but they had good positions; Liz was a manager and her husband was a vice-president of a big company). Thanks to their hard work, they enabled Amelia to...
