"I will definitely survive!" © a famous meme about a lost kitten

 

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 But the original idea was close to the picture from my still unpublished comic (same character, very different lighting), so I remembered another idea which came in the spring.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... :(

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

and a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

and Eternity in an hour*

Time for Reflection

 

The different autumn colors of the vines

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.

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

(Thanks to Ruth Tarragano)

 

любое убеждение - тюрьма. (Thanks to Igor Makarov)

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*

 

*RUMI

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.*

Mirrored photograph... out of my series "colors dancing with light"...

I move my camera with open shutter over colors and light in order to abstract

the colors and light from their original forms.

... playing hide and seek in the garden

September

 

This is a parting full of banners:

the blue of plum and apple's green.

The garden hoists the aster's scanners

and thousand mullins shine between.

 

This is a parting full of brasses,

of giving thanks, of peasant balls.

With cowbells chiming, from the grasses

the motley herds march to their stalls.

 

This is a parting full of fragrance,

of ancient smells again revealed:

the jams' and jellies' boiling cadence,

the roasting taters in the field.

 

This is a parting full of hustle,

of spits with chickens, steins with stout.

The giant swings to heaven bustle,

but may not prove enough devout.

 

The starlings start their fall migration

and gossamer floats in the winds.

A loud and silent separation:

the carousels are in rotation

and what seems gone again begins.*

 

*Erich Kästner

 

Couldn't withstand to take some more shots of this mysterious plant!

 

From march 7 through march 10th all galleries in Königswinter opened their doors... this is my first time to do so here. The "official" inauguration of my exhibition will be in may though. It's an interesting experience to have your own photographs hanging all around ;-) Lizanne (lizannes_lightpaintings here on flickr) joined me with some of her works, too. flickr.com/photos/poetry-and-truth/2319536996

 

Werner (poetry & truth) came over visiting... here you will find some more photographs: flickr.com/photos/poetry-and-truth/2318567431/

  

Oh... by the way... this is also the reason for my being "almost absent" here on flickr, trading the "real" photoworld for the virtual one for a while...

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

Lamp of Love

 

Light, oh where is the light?

Kindle it with the burning fire of desire!

There is the lamp but never a flicker of a flame---is such thy fate, my heart?

Ah, death were better by far for thee!

Misery knocks at thy door,

and her message is that thy lord is wakeful,

and he calls thee to the love-tryst through the darkness of night.

 

The sky is overcast with clouds and the rain is ceaseless.

I know not what this is that stirs in me---I know not its meaning.

A moment's flash of lightning drags down a deeper gloom on my sight,

and my heart gropes for the path to where the music of the night calls me.

 

Light, oh where is the light!

Kindle it with the burning fire of desire!

It thunders and the wind rushes screaming through the void.

The night is black as a black stone.

Let not the hours pass by in the dark.

Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.
