Spring
It's all about a New Beginning
Yesyes, it's only grass you might say
Lol, I haven't seen grass in months and I still have 1.5 meters with snow in my garden
So yes
This grass makes me high
And I haven't even tasted it yet
I won't take a photo after I tasted it either, hehe
The new year means a new beginning, like this group of young beech trees in the middle of a spruce forest.
There was a time when my homeland was covered with huge old beech forests. Forests that had grown over thousands of years. Not only were they the defining habitat, also for my ancestors, they were also an important part of our culture. My ancestors, the Germanic tribes, lived in these forests. The Romans can sing a song about how well adapted we were to this habitat.
The massive trunks of trees were the pillars of our cathedrals and our high priests read the signs from small sticks of beech wood (the beech stick formed later the the german word for letter).
But then came the industrial revolution and with it the insatiable hunger for fuel and fast-growing building materials and with it the invention of the spruce monoculture.
The forest fires and the bark beetle have been showing us how successful this grandiose idea was for several years. Human history is full of such overwhelming ideas and as you can currently see we are not through with them yet.
I'm all the happier when I see something like this. Young beeches, which establish their own biotope in the middle of the spruces and are getting ready to restore the old stable condition of the forest.
Unfortunately, this process will take another two or three hundred years and it will be difficult for me to photograph the final end result.
Das neue Jahr steht für einen Neuanfang, so wie diese Gruppe aus jungen Buchen mitten in einem Fichtenwald.
Es gab eine Zeit, da war meine Heimat bedeckt von riesigen alten Buchenwäldern. Wälder, die über tausende Jahre gewachsen waren. Sie waren nicht nur der bestimmenden Lebensraum, auch für meine Vorfahren, sie waren auch ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Kultur. In diesen Wäldern lebten meine Vorfahren, die germanischen Stämme. Die Römer können ein Lied davon singen, wie gut wir an diesen Lebensraum angepasst waren.
Die massiven Baumstämme waren die Säulen unserer Kathedralen und unsere hohen Priester lasen die Zeichen aus kleinen Stäben aus Buchenholz (daher schreiben wir mit Buchstaben - Buchen Stäbe).
Doch dann kam die industrielle Revolution und mit ihr der unstillbare Hunger nach Brennstoff und schnell wachsendem Baumaterial und mit ihm die Erfindung der Fichtenmonokultur.
Wie erfolgreich diese grandiose Idee war beweissen uns seit einigen Jahren die Waldbrände und der Borkenkäfer. Die menschliche Geschichte in voll von solchen überwältigenden Ideen und wie man gerade sieht, sind wir damit auch bis heute noch nicht durch.
Um so mehr freue ich mich, wenn ich so etwas sehe. Junge Buchen, die in Mitten der Fichten ein eigene Biotop begründen und sich bereit machen, den alten stabilen Zustand des Waldes wieder herzustellen.
Bedauerlicherweise wird dieser Prozess noch zwei-, dreihundert Jahre dauern und es wird schwer für mich das finale Endergebnis zu fotografieren.

今週末はとっても天気がいいのであちこちの公園に行ってみました。
こんな世の中でも「府中の森公園」に春は来ていました。
みんな嬉しくなって梅にスマホをかざしています。
The weather was very nice this weekend so I went to various parks.
Even in such a world, spring has come to "Fuchu Forest Park".
Everyone was happy and was shooting plums on their smartphones.
I find when writing music that i dive into imagination. I create stories and lives based on bits of others lives. What does this have to do with this fence?
Does a crooked person build a crooked fence?
Happy Fence Friday

“Sometimes life takes unexpected turns. Sometimes we hide the very core of our existence because we fear the judgment of others. Sometimes the universe shifts and we are provided with a brief moment to begin anew. These moments allow us to become fearless and let our perfectly created souls shine.” ~New Beginnings
Still in the archives ... another 15 cm's of snow yesterday. I must stop procrastinating and haul the snowblower out and do the driveway. :)
There's a hint of colour in this image of the very beginning of the sunset at Keefer Lake. As is often the case, there were clouds on the horizon and the colour of the sunset never appeared - but I thoroughly enjoyed it anyway.

It is finely the beginning of waterfall season here in Minnesota which is always a very exciting time to me. I am reminded of how Christ makes everything new and breathes life into our dead lungs. For all things are made for Him and through Him which is stated in Colossians chapter 1. I am thankful for springtime and for warmer temperatures that are on the way. Have a blessed week everybody!

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
The return to innocence
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
A bud is just the beginning! So much ahead...but so bright the colors already! Beautiful! This is from my archives (as so many are!). It's taken at my favorite rose garden, Point Defiance Park, located in Tacoma, Washington. Such a wonderful find, I can't tell you how many times I went there through the years! Hope y'all enjoy!

I needed something with the theme 'new beginnings' to have for the weekly theme challenge group and so I found myself scouring this years' folders and this one popped up. If the ripped and shattered bole of a tree torn asunder by a volcanic eruption and hence providing nutrition for new life doesn't fit the bill, what does? :)
I thought the well wishes this year would be more hearty and that this covid thing would be behind us now, but... with the infection rate skyrocketing maybe we will all build up an immunity and by mid year we can start travelling again, idk. In the meantime, stay safe, be healthy, love one another and maybe we can fist bump on the trail some time. Peace, Rich
Patient Trust
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don’t try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give Our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.
-Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Hearts on Fire
