FREE

Free like the river

Flowin' freely through infinity

Free to be sure of

What I am and who I need not be

Free from all worries

Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind

Freer than the clock's hands

Tickin' way the times

Freer than the meaning of free that man defines

Life running through me

Till I feel my father God has called

 

Me having nothin'

But possessing riches more than all

And I'm free

To be nowhere

But in every place I need to be

Freer than a sunbeam

Shinning through my soul

Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold

Free from conceiving the beginning

For that's the infinite start

 

I'm gone - gone but still living

Life goes on without a beating heart

 

Free like a vision

That the mind of only you can see

 

Freer than a raindrop

Falling from the sky

Freer than a smile in a baby's sleepin' eyes

 

I'm free like a river

Flowin' freely to infinity

I'm free to be sure of what

I am and who I need not be

I'm much freer - like the meaning of the word free that

crazy man defines

Free - free like the vision that

The mind of only you are ever gonna see

Free like the river my life

Goes on and on through infinity*

Dedicated to everyone, who feel depressed because of the current events.

 

This week I was going to make a picture about Thanksgiving, but I was too exhausted and didn't manage to take it in on time :( darkness and fear, because that's something I feel as actual for a lot of people now. But the original idea was close to the picture from my still unpublished comic (same character, very different lighting), so I remembered another idea which came in the spring. That idea was also very different, it supposed to be an anti-war picture with the crowd and a social commentary. Instead I decided to use the same lighting effect (lit a character from the inside) to make it a statement about inner light.

 

Anyway, the original idea was more depressing, and despite the fact that the final picture looks more hopeful, I still feel like the original idea... :(

It's still winter... yet the sun is out with spring like temperatures. The bees were fuzzing around these little wild dancers... unfortunately I didn't manage to get them on this

El Peñón de Salobreña.

Salobreña is a small-sized town located on Granada’s Costa Tropical. Two main parts may be distinguished in Salobreña. The old town is a cluster of white houses in an actual maze narrow streets, allies, and small squares that sits on a rocky prominence inland. The remains of a medieval Moorish castle that tops the hill is arguably the best known tourist attraction in Salobreña. Spreading from the bottom of the old town along the coastline, there is an aggregate of hideous new developments that house tens of thousands of visitors every summer.

 

El Peñón de Salobreña is a rock formation situated between two of the five beaches of the municipality. Jutting more than one hundred meters into the Mediterranean Sea, it provides an assortment of vantage points perched on its rough slopes from where sunsets can be enjoyed at its fullest.

 

Even though I have spent most of my summer vacations and frequent weekends in Salobreña for many years, I did not seem to truly appreciate its beauty at the time. I believe some time and distance were needed for me to develop a deeper appreciation for what I still consider home.

So many tulips on flickr.......here goes mine!

The little purple splash in the drop is the reflection of a wonderful peony!

Lens flare...thought it added to the atmosphere in this one!

When I first saw this sculpture I visualised it as a person standing in front of a firing squad accepting inevitable death. The wall behind added to my vision as it appeared to be pock marked with bullet holes from previous executions.

 

In reality the sculpture Inner Light was created by John O'Connor. His work medium is contemporary figurative and his works are described as personal, emotional and poetic. The Inner Light sculpture is cold cast bronze and if you have some spare cash is for sale at £10,500.

Jede Überzeugung ist ein Gefängnis!

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE

 

Every conviction is a prison!

 

Toute conviction est une prison!

 

Ogni convinzione è un carcere!

 

Toda convicción es una cárcel!

 

любое убеждение – это тюрьма

 

كل قناعة انما هي سجن

 

每一个信念就是一所牢狱

 

Toda a convicção é uma prisão!

 

Svatko ubjeđenje je jedan zatvor!

 

Každé přesvědčení je vězením!

 

Enhver overbevisning er et fængsel!

 

Elke overtuiging is een gevangenis!

 

Jokainen vakaumus on vankila!

 

Minden meggyőződés börtön!

 

いかなる確信も、牢獄となる

 

모든 죄의식 자체가 감옥이다

 

Enhver overbevisning er et fengsel!

 

Każde przekonanie to więzienie!

 

Toda a convicção é uma prisão!

 

Orice convincere este o închisoare!

 

свако уверење је један затвор

 

Každé presvedčenie je väzením!

 

övertygelser är som ett fängelse!

 

ทุกคำตัดสิน คือการลงทัณฑ์

 

Her inanç bir hapishanedir!

 

כל הרשעה הינה בית סוהר

May the inner light of your heart be your guidance on your WAY

... playing hide and seek in the garden

Restoration has begun on the inner range light, on the north pier in St. Joseph, MI. The weathered, and aging beacon was built in 1907.

Lights twinkle on the Grand Haven Pier. The Grand Haven Lighthouses glow with their lights as the sun begins to set over Grand Haven State Park and Lake Michigan

This is another find on my morning walk... this one is

specially for Lars (unison)... it's his birthday today.. and I know

he is as addicted to morningdew shots as I am :))

The different autumn colors of the vines

Morning glories are so full of color.

 

Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

All mysteries of heaven are hidden deep in yourself...

you just have to discover your secret fountain of mystery!

 

I have taken so many photographs of these little beauties...

Now they are in second bloom and I just couldn't resist

this morning...

The uniqueness of each soul

 

I swear my dear son,

no one in the entire world

is as precious as you are.

Look at that mirror

Take a good look at yourself

Who else is there above and beyond you?

 

Now give yourself a kiss

and with sweet whispers

fill your ears to the brim.

 

Watch for all that beauty,

reflecting from you

and sing a love song to your existence.

 

You can never overdo

praising your own soul

You can never over-pamper your heart.

 

You are both

the father and the son,

the sugar and the sugar cane.

 

Who else but you,

please tell me who else

can ever take your place?

 

Now give yourself a smile;

What is the worth of a diamond

if it doesn't shine?

 

How can I ever put a price

on the diamond that you are?

You are the entire treasure of the house.

 

You and your shadow

are forever present in this world;

You are that glorious bird of paradise*

J'ai ta main

 

Nous sommes allongés

Sur l'herbe de l'été.

Il est tard.

On entend chanter

Des amoureux et des oiseaux.

 

On entend chuchoter

Le vent dans la campagne.

On entend chanter la montagne.

 

J'ai ta main dans ma main.

Je joue avec tes doigts.

J'ai mes yeux dans tes yeux

Et partout, l'on ne voit

 

Que la nuit, belle nuit, que le ciel merveilleux,

Tout fleuri, palpitant, tendre et mystérieux.

 

Viens plus près, mon amour,

Ton cœur contre mon cœur

Et dis-moi qu'il n'est pas de plus charmant bonheur

Que ces yeux dans le ciel, que ce ciel dans tes yeux,

Que ta main qui joue avec ma main.

 

Je ne te connais pas.

Tu ne sais rien de moi.

Nous ne sommes que deux vagabonds,

Fille des bois, mauvais garçon.

 

Ta robe est déchirée.

Je n'ai plus de maison.

Je n'ai plus que la belle saison

 

Et ta main dans ma main

Qui joue avec mes doigts.

J'ai mes yeux dans tes yeux

Et partout, l'on ne voit

 

Que la nuit, belle nuit, que le ciel merveilleux,

Tout fleuri, palpitant, tendre et mystérieux.

 

Viens plus près, mon amour,

Ton cœur contre mon cœur

Et dis-moi qu'il n'est pas de plus charmant bonheur.

On oublie l'aventure et la route et demain

Mais qu'importe puisque j'ai ta main.

Mais qu'importe puisque j'ai ta main.

Mais qu'importe puisque j'ai ta main.*
