With the events that happened a week ago, I have thought a lot about gratitude, gratitude for the simple things in life, those that I and others often take for granted. I feel gratitude for life. With that I mean life in general, my life, human life, animal life, the natural world. Then there are … Continue reading Gratitude #1000Speak

Young Love
Young Love His lips on hers, her lips on his. Their kiss was full of youth, full of love, and full of joy. Slowly they stepped backwards, feeling the tingle on their lips. They opened their eyes, which had been closed during the embrace and slowly raised their looks. Sparkling eyes of lovers met. Their … Continue reading Young Love
A walk on Omaha Beach
A week after Veteran's Day, it is suitable to write about the D-Day landings. A few days after the Paris attacks it is too, because the soldiers who lost their lives in Normandy in June 1944 did so to bring safety, peace, freedom, and civil liberties back to continental Europe, something that we must not … Continue reading A walk on Omaha Beach
Paris a Loved City
Friday the 13th of November, started as a good day. But before it came to it's end, it ended worse than anyone wants to imagine a Friday the 13th. On Saturday, I expressed my shock, but I tried to quickly move away from the darkness. I did so by writing about all the things that … Continue reading Paris a Loved City
4 Seasons in Paris
Not the music, not the hotels, not the pizza topping, no... Last week, while outside I came across a strange phenomenon, a tree that seemed a bit lost. A cherry tree celebrating all four seasons at once! Some leaves were coloured by the advancing autumn, some were green as though in the middle of summer, … Continue reading 4 Seasons in Paris

My heart is aching
I am lost for words, my heart is aching. I cannot believe the things that happened here last night. None of this should have happened! A life should not end by anything other than a natural death. My thoughts are with those who lost loved ones. My soul is aching for the lost souls. Today, … Continue reading My heart is aching
Low Tide
After having been to Porte-En-Bessin at high tide, we came back the next morning to go on almost the same walk but at low tide. The things we saw were amazing! There was so much beauty. When it was not raining, which it did a lot, we had the sun warm our faces. The view … Continue reading Low Tide
What I want to say
I am staring at the blank screen, not knowing what to write. Actually not knowing how to phrase what I want to say today. Over the last few weeks my blog has grown, not much has changed. I try to write regularly, and at the moment I post something every day as it is NanoPoblano! … Continue reading What I want to say
Saint Martin’s Day
Today, is the 11th of November. In my very early childhood I celebrated Saint Martin's Day every year. When I started school, I was shocked to discover that this was not celebrated everywhere in Germany, that so many children had no idea what fun the 11th of November could be. Proudly equipped with a handcrafted … Continue reading Saint Martin’s Day
