A New Dawn

A New Dawn

Peace – so far away! Painfully far away. What do we have UN for! A ”toothless” institution. It’s easy to get depressed listening to the news – as I do a lot. I don’t think there will be peace on earth. Ever! A dark sad truth – but reality. And the war also started in cyber when hacking the heart of democracy during a democratic  country’s election. Perhaps it will enen worse than it is now. I’m just realistic and view our world with open eyes.
Now I will join in and wish for … peace … as strong as I ever manage.

Once More

Just came home after an evening in Liszt Academy in Budapest. ”Bach Dance Suit” very innovative and creative. I was really in Bach mood today and let’s find out how I react to Louise Farrenc later this evening.

I find myself running towards the little river in the meadow valley. He was close and captured my hand. We entered a canoe and were brought quickly out in the stream. Still wonderful weather and intoxicating summer scents. Butterflies hovered and birds twittered.

he kissed her ear tip longingly
once more
and the river float a melody
picked up by the Blue Wings

MACRO - Bumble Bees

Honey Lovers Festival

I’m still lost in the meadows feeling the fragrance and freshness with the sun in my face. Freedom spot of life. Nature when in it’s best. I will stay here …. for a long while … will you join?

Flute ‘n Sky Fiddle

When listening to this lovely music I feel I am in the highlands. Running happily up and down the hills. The weather is just awesome and the meadow full of small wild flowers in every thousands of colors. Stone walls meander cheerfully like in a round dance. And the birds are singing in the air …

flute ‘n sky fiddle
-I’m coming down the mountains
my little seed beak,
he sang and played intensely
bird maid listened by all heart

A Lead Sheet

When reading about this challenge and when I saw ”The Great Wall” my mind thought about another wall. Not the Chinese one. I thought of Hercule’s Corona Borealis Great Wall. Funny isn’t it. Great and great from different perspectives. I would also like to walk on and shoot the Chinese wall. Probably the Chinese wouldn’t like me cause I want Tibet to be free. Until then I will travel the space. And listen to the wall music. But Ayers Rock is a dream to visit. And the Aboriginal lands – Aboriginal’s land.

My Moon Stone

Above All

This is a kind of love declaration because I just love stones. I always pick stones – or they pick me actually. I have bags of stones in my home. They have a story. And in my previous life I lived in a kind of landscape like Tibet or Mongolia but with a  sea view. The most precious to me is my Moon Stone and I’m sure it came from that far outside. To be picked by me.

above all
in the heart of nature
a rugged rock

Linden Honey

Finnish artists are special in a way which definitely isn’t the common. I like the Finnish extraordinary style.  Kaija Saariaho makes music which inspires reflections about earth, living and origin, I think. For me this music goes very well with me when I am in my creative mood.

Six Japanese Gardens by Kaija Saariaho.

It has been a very interesting journey with all these talented women composers. Some of their music I have liked more and some less. This one was sure special and I liked it 🙂
THANKS Kristjaan!!!
