Blume sein mit Rilke!

.

Weiß die Natur noch den Ruck,

Da sich ein Teil der Geschöpfe

Abriß vom stetigen Stand?

Blumen, geduldig genug,

Hoben nur horchend die Köpfe,

Blieben im Boden gebannt.

Weil sie verzichteten auf

Gang und gewillte Bewegung,

Stehn sie so reich und so rein.

Ihren tiefinneren Lauf,

Voll von entzückter Erregung,

Holt kein Jagender ein.

Innere Wege zu tun

An der gebotenen Stelle,

Ist es nicht menschliches Los?

Anderes drängt den Taifun,

Anderes wächst mit der Welle, –

Uns sei Blume-sein groß.

Rainer Maria Rilke, 1875 - 1926

My North - My Sunset Sky

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain 

or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”

― Rabindranath Tagore

Calella de Palafrugell, Costa Brava - Catalunya, Spain,  is a place like a dream with its picturesque flair which only small fisher villages have. Maybe in the hot month of July and August, it's busier, but in the pre- and after season it's like heaven on earth.

Happy 244th Birthday, America! Stay Healthy! Stay Secure!

. 

It goes without saying that 2020 will be remembered as a historic year. The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our daily lives, including our canceled plans for traveling and see our friends in the USA again. Despite celebrations being vastly different from years past, it's important that you dear friends, don't forget the true meaning of Independence Day. July 02, 2020.

 Happy 244th Birthday, America! Stay Healthy! Stay Secure!

  “My dream is of a place and a time where 
America will once again be seen 
as the last best hope of earth.” 

—Abraham Lincoln 

And I'm sure, we see us all again!!
