Take it easy!!!

Hermine taking her late aftern…

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 ;)

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

One of my favourite poems is the GITANJALI "Song offerings" from Rabindranath Tagore.
Here is one that just came to my mind uploading the wisteria leaves...

Have a wonderful and lightfilled day today!

When I did a search on "meadow" and Hermann Hesse... this poem came up:

I had a most wonderful time in Switzerland & France... came back with lots, lots of photographs.
Uploading is easy... but finding the time to visit all of you and taking my time to comment is
quite difficult... with lots of office work waiting... and the children still on vacation... and last but not least: the wonderful hot summer temperatures calling me to go outside!

So... sorry if I haven't been visiting as I would like to... I will try to catch up!
