With this "amazing grace" I want to give thanks to all of you, my wonderful flickr friends!
I have been here now for 10 months and 100.000 views... impossible without the
encouraging words and support from you all. It is a wonderful place to be, to share...
not only photographs but also words and friendship. THANKS TO YOU!!!
Sometimes returning doesn’t mean going back.
It means breathing again — softly, honestly.
Dedicated to Lelya, the goddess of love and gentle presence.

The warmth of the sun!
The gale winds and resulting high waves over the last week or two has resulted in pretty enormous icing on the pier, catwalk, and outer lighthouse.
Incredible eyecandy colours captivated my eyes this morning.
Nevertheless I saw thes two shy beauties alongside my morning
path through the vinyard, too. So I decided to honour them as well...
Morningdews' Song
From heaven
do I come
settle gently down
on earth
crystal like
silently I sit
collecting light
of the new dawn.
Paitently I wait
while heavenly light
pulses through me
spreading throughout
my whole being
encompassing it all.
Thus I become
a mirror for colours and light
the shadows I see
sending out my light
I nurture thirsty souls
until the call of return.
Dissolving myself
I set out my journey
returning to heavenly spheres
taking back to my brethren
the unions song
of heaven and earth.

Fresh off the 2019 Polar Vortex, it's time to turn back the clock to the first time this term entered into the widespread American lexicon.
The new year of 2014 introduced most people to the term "polar vortex." Just days into the start of the new year and most of the central and eastern United States was plunged into bone-chilling sub-zero temps, with many seeing the coldest temps in 30 years, while others saw the coldest in recorded history. In the Upper Midwest, the polar vortex was accompanied by blizzards that saw heavy snow, high winds, and total white-out conditions. This extreme cold went on for a few days. It wouldn't the the last polar vortex of 2014, but it was definitely the worst.
The effects were very visible on Lake Michigan. Most of the lake was covered in ice. Large ice boulders built up on the shores. On the eastern shores on the west side of Michigan, people were walking on the ice a mile out from shore. The lighthouses were frozen tombs of encased ice.
So it was good timing when a week later I embarked on my previously-scheduled first lighthouse tour. In St. Joseph, the piers were impassable without crampons. The catwalks were encrusted with windblown ice. Despite the cold, the beach was surprisingly crowded. But after what came before, no one was complaining when the high temps hit 5 Degrees! By then it was practically shorts weather!
We had a wonderful sunny sunday... spring temperatures! I worked in my garden today. Before cutting away all dry flowers I had to take some last pictures of them... glowing in the sun.
It is raining outside...
So hopefully I will catch up a little with your photostreams :))
I am so sorry I haven't been visiting for the last days!!!
Have a wonderful and lightfilled day!
Edge of Time……..
In search for the living light
Promised to us
From the beginnings of time
We start our journey
Wandering past the ages
Through our many lives
Without ever reaching
The edge of time
Hearing the call
We have to turn around
And start our journey anew
Into our most inner realms
Wandering through
The many rooms
Encountering our past
Going through our fears
Some say we will have
Seven circles to pass
Finally finding ourselves
At the edge of time
Encountering the light
So intensely bright
There is nothing to see
But darkness allover
Patiently standing still
Opening our inner eyes
We will be prepared
To melt into one
With the ONE light
Having surpassed
The edge of time.

I have already uploaded some portraits of these purple
berries... just can't withstand to photograph them again and
again... always searching for even more transparency :)
"It is as if a raindrop fell from heaven into a stream or fountain
and became one with the water in it so that never again
can the raindrop be separated from the water of the stream,
or as if a little brook ran into the sea and there was thence forward
no means of distinguishing its water from the ocean,
or as if a brilliant light came into a room through two windows
and though it comes in divided between them, it forms a single light inside."
a quote from
St. Teresa of Avila
She is one of my favourite Authors.
As once the winged energy of delight
carried you over childhood's dark abysses,
now beyond your own life build the great
arch of unimagined bridges.
Wonders happen if we can succeed
in passing through the harshest danger;
but only in a bright and purely granted
achievement can we realize the wonder.
To work with things in the indescribable
relationship is not too hard for us;
the pattern grows more intricate and subtle,
and being swept along is not enough.
Take your practiced powers and stretch them out
until they span the chasm between two contradictions
For the god wants to know himself in you.*
*Rainer Maria Rilke
