Endlich/Finally (my heart wanders, Pia Jane Bijkerk)

Ich habe lange auf das Buch 'my heart wanders'

von Pia Jane Bijkerk gewartet. Jetzt hat es endlich Europa erreicht, es hat mich erreicht... direkt in mein Herz.

I've been waiting for a long time for the book 'my heart wanders'

from Pia Jane Bijkerk. Now it has arrived Europe... and me...

straight to my heart.

Ich sitze am späten Nachmittag mit dem Buch auf dem Balkon, genießend.

I'm sitting with the book on the balcony at late afternoon, enjoying.

Wie schön doch Endlichkeit sein kann.

How pretty could be still finitude.

Drawing challenge #18: LOVE

„Deine Lippen sind wie eine scharlachfarbene Schnur, und dein Mund ist lieblich."

"Your lips are like a scarlet coloured twine, and your mouth is lovely."

Hohelied der Liebe/The song of Salomon

Gott, war ich froh, dass ich sie an meiner Seite hatte: meine Schwester!

Lord, was I happy that I have had her beside me: my sister!

Der Liebe Segel will gepflegt werden.

Love sail would be groomed.

Obwohl sie eigentlich selbstverständlich und immer da ist -

Though she is essentially naturally and always there -

und manchmal nicht: Die irdische Liebe...

and sometimes not: The material love...

und die über-irdische Liebe, frei von Erwartung und Abhängigkeit.

and the supernal love, free from expection and dependency.

Manchmal zeigt sich mitten in der Nacht
die Majestät des Himmels...

wenn man in der Stille erkennen kann, dass

alles Eins ist.

Otherwhiles shows in the middle of the night
the majesty of heaven...
when you could realize in the silence that
all is unity.

So, please, feel the theme LOVE of lovely Rachel from more lovely hearts.

Welcome, dear Renilde!

Seating accommodation

At the flea market

'Puces de Saint-Ouen' we found old books and
a lot of wonderful seating accommodations:

My mother, the Countess from Falcons-stone, will come in a minute to take a seat in the Castle at the Eisenbach.

Together we'll celebrate the birthday of

Karl Faust

born 26.05.1900 and died 19.08.1985

Her father...

and my grand-father.

"Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, lieber Opa!"

Drawing challenge #17: HAND

Nach Aristoteles hat jede Handlung

einen Anfang, eine Mitte und ein Ende.

Genauso also, wie die manuelle (manus, lat. = hand), handwerkliche
Herstellung eines Perlenringes:

Aristotle thinks each 'Hand-lung' (german for 'story telling'. It describes a course of events.) has got an beginning, a midst and an end. Ditto as the handcrafted manufacture (manus, lat. = hand) from a ring of pearls:
