Staubbach Fall

" The Staubbach Fall (German: Staubbachfall (sing.), lit.: dust creek fall) is a waterfall in Switzerland, located just west above Lauterbrunnen in the Bernese Highlands. The waterfall drops 297 metres (974 ft) from a hanging valley that ends in overhanging cliffs above the Weisse Lütschine.

The stream, on reaching the verge of the rocky walls of the valley, forms a cascade so high that it is almost lost in spray before it reaches the level of the valley. After rain, and early in the season when fed by the melting snows, the Staubbach Fall is a very striking object. The force of the stream above the fall at such times is sufficient to carry the water clear of the precipice, and the whole mass descends in a condition of liquid dust, between spray and cloud, that sways to-and-fro with the gentlest breeze. In a dry summer, when the supply of water is much reduced, the effect is comparatively insignificant.

The falls were featured on the Swiss 3-centime postage stamp of the 1930s.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was inspired in 1779 on his second trip to Switzerland from Staubbachfall and wrote there his song of the spirits over the waters [2] :

Man's soul

Is like the water:

From heaven comes,

To heaven it rises,

And down again

To the earth it must,

Eternally changing.

Flows from the high,

steep rock face

The pure ray,

Then it dusts sweetly

In cloud waves

To the smooth rock,

And easily received, It

Walling veiling,

Leisrauschend down

to the depth.

If cliffs loom

The fall contrary,

it foams angrily

Gradually

the abyss.

In the shallow bed he

creeps down the valley of the meadow,

And in the smooth lake

her countenance graze

All the stars.

Wind is the wave

Lovely lover;

Wind mixes from the bottom

. Foaming waves.

Soul of man,

how are you like the water!

Fate of man,

how are you like the wind!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe liess sich 1779 auf seiner zweiten Schweizreise vom Staubbachfall inspirieren und verfasste dort seinen Gesang der Geister über den Wassern

Des Menschen Seele

Gleicht dem Wasser:

Vom Himmel kommt es,

Zum Himmel steigt es,

Und wieder nieder

Zur Erde muß es,

Ewig wechselnd.

Strömt von der hohen,

Steilen Felswand

Der reine Strahl,

Dann stäubt er lieblich

In Wolkenwellen

Zum glatten Fels,

Und leicht empfangen,

Wallt er verschleiernd,

Leisrauschend

Zur Tiefe nieder.

Ragen Klippen

Dem Sturz entgegen,

Schäumt er unmutig

Stufenweise

Zum Abgrund.

Im flachen Bette

Schleicht er das Wiesental hin,

Und in dem glatten See

Weiden ihr Antlitz

Alle Gestirne.

Wind ist der Welle

Lieblicher Buhler;

Wind mischt vom Grund aus

Schäumende Wogen.

Seele des Menschen,

Wie gleichst du dem Wasser!

Schicksal des Menschen,

Wie gleichst du dem Wind! "

I appreciate people that move through life with a serene demeanor. I, on the other hand, have learned to take cleansing breaths and smile as if all is well most of the time. :) "Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath."

Common Grackles are blackbirds that look like they've been slightly stretched. They're taller and longer tailed than a typical blackbird, with a longer, more tapered bill and glossy-iridescent bodies. Grackles walk around lawns and fields on their long legs or gather in noisy groups high in trees, typically evergreens. They eat many crops (notably corn) and nearly anything else as well, including garbage. In flight their long tails trail behind them, sometimes folded down the middle into a shallow V shape.

All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind. - John Lubbock, The Beauties of Nature

Meet Binx. :)

This is the first step to doing something that scares me each day.

We finally picked up our new kitty. He is terrified and will not come down the stairs to the first floor. I don't know how normal this is, seeing I have never had a cat so afraid of his new surroundings. I am waiting patiently for him to come downstairs to join me. I am hoping this fear is short lived.

... Moments will soon pass, and you will wish you had treasured them more.

This little succulent plant was given to me several years ago by my mother, who was in her late 80’s at the time.

I didn’t want to hurt my mother's feelings, so I humored her by putting it in a pot and sticking the pot in a remote corner of my back yard. I figured the plant would die shortly and I wouldn’t need to care for it any longer.

As with many of the things I have taken for granted in my life, turned out that my Mother was the one to die, not the little plant. I've learned to appreciate life as it happens.

One look at love and you may see

It weaves a web over mystery,

All ravelled threads can rend apart

For hope has a place in the lover's heart.

Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Whispering world, a sigh of sighs,

The ebb and the flow of the ocean tides.

One breath, one word may end or may start

A hope in a place of the lover's heart.

Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Look to love you may dream,

And if it should leave then give it wings.

But if such a love is meant to be;

Hope is home, and the heart is free

Under the heavens we journey far,

On roads of life we're the wanderers,

So let love rise, so let love depart,

Let hope have a place in the lover's heart.

Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Look to love and you may dream,

And if it should leave then give it wings.

But if such a love is meant to be;

Hope is home, and the heart is free.

Hope is home, and the heart is free.

quoted from Enya's Hope Has a Place
