Possums ate all the other buds but not this one!

This beauty lives on my front porch. The scent is hea-ven-ly!
Am I lucky? Yes I am !

People have come up with a load of languages, spoken and unspoken, in order to communicate. The spoken ones lead in "efficiency", that is with humans. It is the easiest to understand and the quickest way to send a message to the recipient, that's why (Western) evolution has strengthened this method of communication. Or is it the quickest way? It is interesting to think though whether there are many more ways of communicating that we are yet to know about... Elephants communicate through tummy rumbling but also telepathically. Talking, in my opinion, is the most difficult way to communicate in many cases. Sometimes we twist the message deliberately, for whatever reason. We use the language to not to communicate what is really needed to be said. Maybe we don't want to hear what is said and contest the message. Maybe if we communicated like elephants, there would be no need for interpreting. The message would be exactly what it is. You cannot misinterpret tummy rumble and mind messaging. Or can you? Better not to leap conclusions, eh?

I like visual language. This is my message. If you want to comment, do it by pictures.

Bride's bouquet

Although the morning is colourful and noisy, alive!, I am posting this B&W photo. It is not a reflection of my mood.. although who knows, I have an essay to write over the weekend for my studies and I have not started the proper research yet.. Anyway, here is a 'bride's bouquet' from the other day at work when I wondered on the terrace at work trying to find something to photograph, thus attempting mindfulness.

A moment

On a break, at work, I went outside to look for flowers. I found this. It is quite beautiful.

Light weight

I thought of words to write. I have none. No new words and I cannot think of a new order of the old words. I better post an image that tells it all.

Layers of warm colours

Feeling worn out tonight. Tomorrow we will start again.

With Helene in the traffic

I have been listening to Rakel Liehu's book about Helene Schjerfbeck when I am driving in the morning and afternoon traffic. Sometimes I fully immerse into Helene's life. Human pain and suffering stays the same, no matter who you are. Sometimes I find myself speeding through yellow lights, having lost Helene for a while, then having to rewind. I learn about J, and Kristian, and Einar, and Stenman and everyone else. I wonder if there is a version of this book that includes images of the art works that are mentioned in the book. It would be nice to go on a journey with the pictures and the text. I have been looking at the paintings in the net lately. I love the images of children, especially the one where the little one has her back to the painter, looking out the window; and I like the paintings where the woman is depicted from the back, exposing her neck. How beautiful and telling is a neck?!
To quote Helene: "Study my paintings. I tell you everything in my paintings. Everything I know, and even more."

Why today? Why not!

I have no idea why I thought I need to post on this site... Maybe I just needed to see a flower. This is hibiscus again. I took the photo a few months ago.

It is turning to spring here. My favourite time of the year in this climate!
