John, I think the comments ebb and flow.  This last round is the first I've seen in awhile.

Johan, have you been to Germany?

The castle hill is not far from my place here.

Close to Stuttgart, the beginning of the Swabian Mountains.

Gunnar, I think I need to visit you! ;-)

John: Thank you for your reply. I understand what you mean and respect it. I have been in the position of drawing rather than giving life and beauty.
Thank you!
Holger: a 30 seconds walk and you are in His cathedral - wow! Thanks for the photo and poem - it is a blessing.
Holger:Where is that beautiful place??

Thank you, Gunnar, thank you, Holger.  I needed a drink; you provided it.  Beautiful, revitalizing.

Connecting the old and the new.

Some housing from our forefathers, and a modern journey out the morning fog with a balloon ...

A shot I did after a portrait shooting on a castle hill with the sunrise ...

Still trying to learn more to do the things that bring me alive!

I posted this in the Live Poets Society group a few years ago.

  ~ Thetis Lake Park, January 2009 ~

For about a year I had lived in the downtown core. When people remarked, "So you live in the heart of the city...", I would tell them, "Well, near to the heart; more like the armpit of the city...".  Then a friend invited me to rent a room in his house, which happened to be at the end of a dead-end street bordering a rural park.

At the first opportunity, I took the 30 second walk from the front door into the park. Within a couple of minutes I was totally out of sight of civilisation, where I wept for the joy of being immersed in God's creation.

I took this photo a couple of weeks later, on a warm, almost spring-like day in mid-January 2009. As I stood there, soaking in the beauty, I was thinking, "This is like standing in God's cathedral." I wrote the poem a short time later.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm alive, Johan!  My love of beauty has not waned one bit, but circumstances have drawn me away from time on the internet, and I am walking closely with friends who are experiencing a lot of pain.  God is teaching me about living simpler and deeper, and part of that is freedom to not deal with too much at one time.  For now, I am drawing strength from beauty rather than offering it.  I am sure this is only for a season, but I am confident of my assignments from my Father.

Is this group still ALIVE? I joined it more than one month ago, and except for only ONE reaction - NOTHING! Is it still worth staying with these groups?

Johan.
