I had never seen them sleeping before. I took a walk along the River Aar in Switzerland, just along the path to where I live. It was early evening and there were two swans floating and sleeping on the river.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!
My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)
Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

I thought of the cows, although they are not always so serene

The swans do look a little odd with their heads tucked around in their bodies! A great shot of some beautiful animals!

I was also surprised when I saw them, as I had never seen sleeping swans before.

I love the way swans wrap themselves into a ball. Their necks are like snakes. I’ve seen them get into some very strange position. You make them look like floating pillows of white feather. Wonderful.

I remember when I saw them, it was so still and peaceful. They were just floating.
