Back from vacation & time for a new Selfportrait...

Yesterday - coming into the house from a photoshooting with my "models" in the garden (flowers) -

the mirror told me: it might be time for an actual Selfportrait...

So here it is:

"Lying In Grass" by Hermann Hesse

Is this everything now, the quick delusions of flowers,

And the down colors of the bright summer meadow,

The soft blue spread of heaven, the bees' song,

Is this everything only a god's

Groaning dream,

The cry of unconscious powers for deliverance?

The distant line of the mountain,

That beautifully and courageously rests in the blue,

Is this too only a convulsion,

Only the wild strain of fermenting nature,

Only grief, only agony, only meaningless fumbling,

Never resting, never a blessed movement?

No! Leave me alone, you impure dream

Of the world in suffering!

The dance of tiny insects cradles you in an evening radiance,

The bird's cry cradles you,

A breath of wind cools my forehead

With consolation.

Leave me alone, you unendurably old human grief!

Let it all be pain.

Let it all be suffering, let it be wretched-

But not this one sweet hour in the summer,

And not the fragrance of the red clover,

And not the deep tender pleasure

In my soul.

Eye-kissing light...

Light

Light, my light, the world-filling light,

the eye-kissing light,

heart-sweetening light!

Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the center of my life;

the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love;

the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.

The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light.

Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light.

The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling,

and it scatters gems in profusion.

Birth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling,

and gladness without measure.

The heaven's river has drowned its banks

and the flood of joy is abroad.

FREE (Stevie Wonder) ...some lyrics

I just have added the lyrics for the song "Free" from Stevie Wonder to his song I have in my audios.

It is an old one... still one of my favourite. And I just love the lyrics... thought I might share them with you here:

Free

Stevie Wonder

Free like the river

Flowin' freely through infinity

Free to be sure of

What I am and who I need not be

Free from all worries

Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind

Freer than the clock's hands

Tickin' way the times

Freer than the meaning of free that man defines

Life running through me

Till I feel my father God has called

Me having nothin'

But possessing riches more than all

And I'm free

To be nowhere

But in every place I need to be

Freer than a sunbeam

Shinning through my soul

Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold

Free from conceiving the beginning

For that's the infinite start

I'm gone - gone but still living

Life goes on without a beating heart

Free like a vision

That the mind of only you can see

Freer than a raindrop

Falling from the sky

Freer than a smile in a baby's sleepin' eyes

I'm free like a river

Flowin' freely to infinity

I'm free to be sure of what

I am and who I need not be

I'm much freer - like the meaning of the word free that

crazy man defines

Free - free like the vision that

The mind of only you are ever gonna see

Free like the river my life

Goes on and on through infinity

Some inspiring words from Goethe...

Just wanted to share a few words from J.W. von Goethe I found this morning...

"Gott gibt die Nüsse, aber er beisst sie nicht auf"

Freely translated (my own, not the "official" one):

"God gives you the nuts, but he won't open them up"

Have a wonderful and inspiring week...

and lots of fun cracking the nuts ;)

Have a wonderful and lightfilled weekend!!!

Just a few days in ipernity...

...and it starts to feel like a homebase. Probably because of all the wonderful Flickr-community around. I have to start searching the "non-flickr" ipernity now... see who else is around here ;))

I am not sure yet how to handle these "two homes". There are so many friends in flickr I really don't feel like leaving for good. Up to now I just have been uploading ramdonized photographs... some new... some older ones. Still have to sort myself out.

Always wanted to get a blog...

For months now I have been thinking of getting myself a blog...

probably just waited for this great feature here! This communication tool

here in ipernity is really great... something missing in flickr actually.

Guess it will take me some days to get to know my way around here...

but many features just work as in flickr. Well see you... here or there!

New here...

Found many of my "exiled" Flickr friends here on ipernity...

Being curious about this new space... seems to be the

perfect place for communication! I will see what happens!
