Waking up to
the light of a new morning.
A fresh sheet of paper,
a bath and a candle
and a cup of tea.
Tired and awake
floating in between
memories and
the unknown days ahead,
greeting them
with a smile
and a flower.
A soft start...
May the new year bring you joy!

8/23/08 - I'm ready to just fall and wait for someone to help me up. Ever have that falling dream, that's not exactly a dream? You lie in bed with closed eyes and suddenly feel as if you're about to hit the ground and jump. I've never actually seen a visual while having that dream, but it feels just as real. I've been having them a lot lately and each time my skin crawls just a little more. I'm ready to wake up in fragile arms.
I don't have much free time today and so this poor excuse of a photo will have to do. :/ I wanted to look like I was falling without actually having to fall for the picture. I did trip, though!

"We've tried so hard to understand, but we can't. We held the world out in our hands and you ran away. It takes some time to let you go and it shows. 'Cause all we know is falling, it falls. Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all." - Paramore.
I drive to the Library Square and park, then walk 2 blocks to the Salt Lake Roasting Company.
Feels good walking in the morning. No, I take that back - feels great since I know this 60something F is going to turn into 90something F in a few hours.
Heavy door offers just the right amount of resistance for me to streech my arms (yes, had to use both, after all it's only 7am), I walk in and coffee is what I become- the smell is so strong there's nothing else to think about but that dark, bitter, warm ambrosia. They are roasting.
I oreder my usual and pick up a bag of beans.
I settle by the window and sip the morning in, all the while clutching the bag to my chest, breathing in the smell that makes functioning in a "morning society" possible. It is not the alarm clock, nor the desire to be a productive member, it is simply coffee that gets me up in the morning; especially some November morning, with 10 inches of snow on the ground and still falling, cold floor tiles, broken windshield wiper, 8 hours of classroom ahead...
Yes, I am very grateful...to my grandmother who introduced me to a sweet late at 6 (I slurped the delicious drink and pretended colored pencils were cigarettes), and thus begun my love affair with coffee.
Today, it is my magic elixir, grand tasks of each day grow down in size when worries about their executions are chased away by a cup or two of warm darkness, all of a sudden world is a much less sinister place than the sharp sound of my alarm clock made it out to be....yes, magic is right.
Thank you, thank you fair traders who grow it, and pickers who pick it, and Roasting Company who buys it and roasts it and makes a mean cup, thank you Kaldi for discovering it (or maybe I should be thanking his goats :), thank you good people who make my days possible...you have done so much good in the world, you are all going straight to heaven.

Yuba waking up in the morning at Naomi's house. At first he is moving around, rather blurrily, then he looks at Naomi, saying "good morning" and then, "where's my food?"

While driving unfamiliar mountain road, I accidentally encountered this fascinating scene.
It was a blissful moment and all my stress from a long journey disappeared.
It was totally a shower of light.
A downright macabre postcard originally posted on Ipernity for the Weird Vintage Postcards group: I Dreamt I Was in a Trance.
--------
I dreamt I was in a trance, my folks thought me dead. They put me in a coffin; they cried and said nice things about me. All night long the old cat, whose kittens I had drowned that morning, sat on my coffin and gloated over my sufferings; she knew I was alive. I was placed in a hearse and in due time arrived at the grave yard. I could hear the mud hit the lid of the coffin and began to choke when I woke up.
Gates ajar. He has went? His chair is vacant.

Introduction
"Waking Up"|The Lord Is Knocking on the Door—Come and Meet the Lord
Just Awake and About To Wake are preachers of a Christian sect who both sincerely believe in the Lord, and who eagerly yearn for His return. But they have always felt puzzled and confused about how the Lord will knock at the door upon His return, and what they should do to welcome Him. When a sister knocks on her door many times to preach God's gospel of the last days, Just Awake finally awakens to reality through a period of seeking and investigation. After hearing Just Awake's experience, About To Wake also awakens from her confusion, and she comes to know that the Lord came in secret long ago, that He incarnated to express His words, that He uses His words to knock at the door of man's heart and that, by carefully listening to God's voice, the wise virgins are able to welcome the return of the Lord and follow God's footprints!

While going through my hard drive I found this picture. I created this back in 2011, inspired by the lovely Lissy.
I was an active member of the Flickr-community. I created so many pictures, inspired by the unpretentious and generous creative force that I experienced here. I was also a part of a group in which we created one image each week, inspired by a special theme. I think I created this image for that group, but I never shared it. I guess I never shared it because it wasn´t really my idea to start with, it was an image based on Lissy´s image that I wanted to do my own version of.
Now I found it and I really like it. Something about it feels so honest and simple. And I like that. Also, I love being back here on Flickr. Maybe this story hasn´t come to an end yet.

We crossed the most obscure border crossing I had ever seen as it was getting dark and drove towards Lago di Cavazzo where we spend the night.
Being back in Italy meant that sleeping in our comfy Tesla on the lake side was perfectly fine again, just as long as we paid the parking meter (which was free at night). The parking came with free electricity, (mostly) clean toilets and great Italian cappuccino so we decided to stay a while, recharge the car and recharge ourselves. I love Italy.
I re-used the flickr tag I did for my 24 hours of flickr shot and stuck it on my electric toothbrush. My toothbrush rocks harder than ever, right?!
By the way, this is shaving cream I have in my mouth. I wanted to make my flash bounce in the bathroom sink but with that not-so-good taste in my mouth, I realized that I could just as well make my flash go directly at me and get that shaving cream off as quickly as possible.
Explored (237)...April 8, 2009 (cool!)
Need a pick me up? I know I do, sometimes :) This is what's been on my heart this morning.
For when a cup of coffee just isn't enough:
“(1)Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2)through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. (3)Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; (4)perseverance, character; and character, hope. (5)And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” - Romans 5:1-5
This is one of my favorite quotes from the Bible. Every word in it holds a powerful message.
-Justified through Faith (Thank you, God, that I don't have to be "good enough!")
-we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (who doesn't need some peace these days)
-we have gained access by faith into his GRACE (Amazing Grace...)
-we REJOICE in the HOPE of the GLORY of God (I want to sing a song after thinking about this part!)
-we REJOICE in our sufferings (not always my first thought, but check out the second part of this--->), BECAUSE we KNOW that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
-HOPE does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts
AMEN!
I just wanted to share this verse with you today, because I figure we could all use a little encouragement for one reason or another.

Happy because fully vaccinated against COVID-19...
Location: Watergraafsmeer ("Betondorp"), Amsterdam (Oost)
Coordinates: See the link below on Google Maps:
Reason: A home 52-Weeks because of the some disappointing weather during week number 26. Good thing is that I am fully vaccinated (I received my second shot of Pfizer on the first of July). The pandemic Covid-19 started in the beginning of 2020 and is still around and still predominant in the world. The vaccination program started in January 2020 and when taking this self portrait about 16 milion vaccinated have been administered in the Netherlands. The proof is visible through a CoronaCheck application which is valid as a vaccination certificate. It gives access to different places (clubs, festivals and other places where physical distance cannot be guaranteed).
Corona Lamp: The sputnik lamp in my living room is very similar to how the corona virus is often depicted.
Weather: Cloudy, 24° C(maximum of this day)
To Listen ♫: Cloudcage - Waking Up (Youtube)
Self-portrait technics: Camera on a Sirui carbon tripod and placed on a chair with selftimer on 10 seconds.
