Soon, the vintage will begin. A lovely season.

"Der August"
(Erich Kästner)
Nun hebt das Jahr die Sense hoch
und mäht die Sommertage wie ein Bauer.
Wer sät, muß mähen.
Und wer mäht, muß säen.
Nichts bleibt, mein Herz. Und alles ist von Dauer.
Stockrosen stehen hinterm Zaun
in ihren alten, brüchigseidnen Trachten.
Die Sonnenblumen, üppig, blond und braun,
mit Schleiern vorm Gesicht, schaun aus wie Frau'n,
die eine Reise in die Hauptstadt machten.
Wann reisten sie? Bei Tage kaum.
Stets leuchteten sie golden am Stakete.
Wann reisten sie? Vielleicht im Traum?
Nachts, als der Duft vom Lindenbaum
an ihnen abschiedssüß vorüberwehte?
In Büchern liest man groß und breit,
selbst das Unendliche sei nicht unendlich.
Man dreht und wendet Raum und Zeit.
Man ist gescheiter als gescheit, -
das Unverständliche bleibt unverständlich.
Ein Erntewagen schwankt durchs Feld.
Im Garten riecht's nach Minze und Kamille.
Man sieht die Hitze. Und man hört die Stille.
Wie klein ist heut die ganze Welt!
Wie groß und grenzenlos ist die Idylle ...
Nichts bleibt, mein Herz. Bald sagt der Tag Gutnacht.
Sternschnuppen fallen dann, silbern und sacht,
ins Irgendwo, wie Tränen ohne Trauer.
Dann wünsche Deinen Wunsch, doch gib gut acht!
Nichts bleibt, mein Herz. Und alles ist von Dauer.
Erich Kästner ('Die dreizehn Monate')

Corriendo por el cerro, entre bosques maravillosos y casi desconocidos al lado de la ciudad.
Concepción, Región del Biobío, Chile central
I live in a region with a very mild climate (figs, almond trees often bloom from the end of February). Our roses bloom until December, sometimes even January. The hoarfrost a few days ago decorated it bizarrely. But now these flowers have withered, there are still new buds.

Western Tibet (Ngari) is a high, arid region with few people, while southeast Tibet (Kham) is forested and suitable for farming. Northern Tibet (Amdo) is covered in vast grasslands filled with yaks and sheep and central Tibet (U-Tsang) is the most densely populated area of Tibet lying along the fertile Yarlung Valley.
