RE: [Cz-L] insomnia

Unfortunately, for me it cannot work. I did not have the chance of walking
in those streets. I was born in the Liliengasse, but being 11 weeks old we
were transported to Mogilev (Transniestria). When coming back we were not
allowed going back to our apartment and therefore were living near the
Bahnhoff at my grandparents place. We left Cz for ever when I was 4 years
old. Asher Turtel

To-day I want to share a useful tip with you...
I often have trouble fallingl asleep at night and the easiest remedy is of
course to reach for a sleeping pill. However, I discovered a much nicer cure
lately.
I close my eyes and start to roam the streets of my native city...I wander
along the Herrengasse and get to the salon where my mother used to have her
hair done while I waited along impatiently. It's an ugly kiosk now.I walk
down the Hauptstrasse and stop before the house where my piano teacher used
to live, sweet Hedy, whom I mostly loved but occasionally hated.
I walk down the Hauptstrasse and get to the Oberjudengasse, my grandfather
had his house there, a small villa-like place with a yard. It disappeared
since then and made place for some ugly socialistic blocks.
Oh, here I am in the Reitschulgasse, did someone really take riding lessons
on this hill? If not, why the name?

How do I get to the Dreifaltigkeitsgasse where my best friend Clara used to
live? I would like to see the house where we shared our little girls secrets
and exchanged romantic novels written by Hedwig Chourts-Mahler. Shall I go
back up or turn to the right or where?
I somehow can't find my way, my eyelids get heavy and still before reaching
the Dreifaltigkeitsgasse I am finally asleep.

I pick other areas every time, and please believe me, it works.
