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.

I spend the past three days without being able to access the internet...
an unbelievable long time!
A wonderful and lightfilled weekend to you all!
I haven't done this for a while..taking photographs with intentional camera movement. I used to be addicted to this kind of photographic experiments... It is lots of fun and intruiging... you never know what will be the result. Just have to love soft curves..... and forget about sharp focus ;))
There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine.
O traveler, if you are in search of that
Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek that.
~ Rumi
Even in the midst of darkness, there is always light - we just have to find it. This could also be thought of, even in the midst of chaos we can always center - we just have to close our eyes and chose to do it. Whether it’s meditating, taking time for yourself, going to church, going to the gym, journaling, drawing, creating art, etc. Whatever your method - there is always light at the end of the tunnel and only you know best how to find it.
You have the power to find the light in the dark just like you have the power to let it take over you. What will you choose?

... but who wouldn't want to wait to grow up
surrounded by a cloud of colours and light ;)
But: does she know or even care what is
arround her and waiting for her? She just
seems to BE.
"SPEAK US OF BEAUTY"
Where shall you seek beauty, and how shall you find her
unless she herself be your way and your guide?
And how shall you speak of her
except she be the weaver of your speech?...
Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,
And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see
though you close your eyes
and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
It is not the sap within the furrowed bark,
nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden forever in bloom
and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
...Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
Kahlil Gibran (The Prophet)
LIGHT
"Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of my life; the light strikes, my darling,
the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge
up on the crest of the waves of light.
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems
in profusion.
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure.
The heaven's river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad."
GITANJALI
The offering songs
Rabindranath Tagore
It's never enough to capture the frozen lighthouses from shore, so I find it necessary to venture onto the frozen pier - carefully. I determined it was worth the attempt to head out around the outer light, to see how the ice looked from the end of the pier. It was well worth the walk, and not nearly as slippery as the other surfaces I've climbed in my day. Lots of people on the pier today - that's unusual from my experience over the past decade or so, but maybe I usually get there before everyone else is awake.

Somewhere under the silence
A little light was breathing
Somewhere under the ache
My heart was still here
I went quiet in my own skin
Faded out of view
Kept a smile in the morning
But the colors never bloomed
I kept moving, I kept breathing
Like a shadow in the air
Just a body full of echoes
Just a soul not fully there
Then a pulse beneath the quiet
Touched the hollow in my chest
Not a storm, not a siren
Just a heartbeat coming back
I came back to my own light
Little by little, I returned
Found my heart beneath the ashes
Felt the golden ember burn
I came back to my own light
From the silence, from the cold
I was lost inside my body
Now I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
To my own light
To my own light
There were rooms inside my spirit
I had not opened for years
Windows covered over
With the salt of hidden tears
I had left myself in fragments
In the corners of my mind
But the softer I listened
The more of me I’d find
Then the dark became a doorway
And my breath became a sign
Every scar became a lantern
Every step returned me to life
I came back to my own light
Little by little, I returned
Found my heart beneath the ashes
Felt the golden ember burn
I came back to my own light
From the silence, from the cold
I was lost inside my body
Now I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
To my own light
To my own light
My pulse returns
My soul remembers
My light returns
Soft as surrender
No more living like a shadow
No more hiding from my name
No more holding all the emptiness
Like it was mine to claim
I place my hands over my heartbeat
I let the old ache leave
I am not the hollow places
I am what still breathes
I gather every little fragment
Every dream I left behind
I call my spirit back together
I return to my own light
[Passionate emotional violin lead]
[Violin rises above the beat]
[Cinematic strings build]
I came back to my own light
I rose slowly, I rose true
There is warmth beneath my sorrow
There is gold in what I grew
I came back to my own light
With my heart inside my hands
I am softer, I am stronger
I am learning how to stand
I came back to my own light
Every breath became a sign
What was empty now is sacred
What was lost is finally mine
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
To my own light
To my own light
Somewhere under the silence
A little light was breathing
Now I hear my own heart
Now I feel my own meaning
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
To my own light
