Yin & Yang

Yin & Yang

Lammö, Bohuslän Sweden.

I wanted to get something in the foreground and then I realised that the rock looks like a Chinese Taijitu. The symbol for Yin and Yang, opposite but complementary. Is it only me or can you see it too?

This place was in the past a shipping port for stone and if you look close there is also a numbers and letters carved in the stone. It’s hard to read but maybe it was the initials of two lovers or simply the number of the port.

Same, same but different, ha de Gött!

1000

1000

Seems this is my post number 1000 here and I’ve been wondering what it should be about. 1000 blog posts, it must be about blogging.

I set out into the WordPress cyber space five years ago to practise writing for the book that’s lingering in my head. It was also a way to channel the pressure from dealing with my son’s struggle with mental illness. Then there was also the pandemic that didn’t help much. Sitting by sons bed clicking the keyboard helped him settle down and to go to sleep. After daily attempts during that summer in 2020 he finally found his everlasting peace in August.

I was devastated and nearly broke down, forced to choose whether to stay or leave. Blogging became a therapy, and I even did some poetry. I also took up photography a bit more seriously to get out into the nature. Walking in the forest and hugging a tree is so much better than all psychotropic drugs. Photography became a bigger part of my blog.

In the WordPress blogosphere there is a community and a connection and, even if some open up and share strong feelings I’ve never seen any mean comments. Some bloggers that I interacted with I consider friends, even if we’ve never met in real life. There are posts and comments that made significant a difference in my life, none mentioned none forgotten. Thank you!

Who knows I might be around for a 1000 more.

With a little help from my friends, ha de Gött!

Art is not a luxury

Art is not a luxury

I took this picture in Munich. The sign was sitting over the Kunstpavillon (Art Pavilion) in the Alter Botanischer Garten (Old Bothical Garden).

What do you think? Is art only for those with more than they need, or is art needed for all of us.

Art is everywhere, just look around. Ha de Gött!

Hidden bay

Hidden bay

Some places fills you with calm, this is one of mine.

I can sit there, out of the wind and just listen to the sounds.

Waves breaking and swooshing up the beach.

The clicking of the colourful stones.

As they struggle to stay on as the water runs back to the sea.

Just to collect new energy.

Do the same again, but never ever the same.

Remember to stop so you can find your place, ha de Gött!
