  • Daily Coffee Talk~ 58/365

    Hi from a great rainy evening in Germany, Despite the grey that covers the sky in a monotonous blanket with no texture, I feel a wave of inspiration. We are created to be able to create, and I am constantly being moved to create. I will keep it short and wish you an inspired rest…

  • Morning Coffee Talk~26/364

    Good Morning, Every year since my daughter was a small child, we visited this forest near the town of Xanten in Germany. This year was no exception. I always walked with her there and upon arrival we stopped and took a moment to greet the forest. One hand on a tree and she still recognises…

  • A Fresh New Beginning~

    As the fresh new snow blankets the ground and lays a layer of white powder on everything standing still, it feels like a permission for a new beginning. All is still, all is clean, all is white and a new chapter can now begin. Yesterday the sun was shining as it still is today and…

  • The white breath of winter~

    To make up for its bone chilling cold, winter sends its apologies with the magical white blanket of snow that makes it all better. I don’t know many who can resist the charm of freshly fallen snow and today I was one of those who ran out in the early morning to be with the…

  • The Search for Truth~

I learned so much from how free thinking they are, how imaginative, refreshingly creative and flexible in the mind they can be. I may have showed them technique but…

  • The thing about time~

    As long as there is a sun for the planet to revolve around, time will be our master. We chase it, we save it, we spend it, we waste it and we race against it. Isn’t it time we make peace with time? Day 5 of 365, Germany

  • The box mentality~

    For the largest part of our recent history, we humans find ourselves living in a box of our own making. We have lived in caves, tents, huts, houses, and the majority of the human race lives currently in complex buildings inside large cities that resemble beehives and are just as noisy. Then one day, we,…

  • A Brief Journey Within~

    Haven’t you ever had the strange revelation that something in you knows? It just knows. We often seek confirmation from others, we vainly attempt to disqualify the silent knowing within simply because we cannot trust it. But it knows… Image taken today with the help of Lea, somewhere in Germany. day 2 of 365

  • Magic rests somewhere between earth and sky~

    Magic is never far, it lives in every changing leaf, in the colors that move us, in the smell of an autumn day; all we have to do is look, hear, smell, taste and feel it. The knowing is sure to follow…
