time to post something again, isn't it? speaking of time - it flies by so quickly these days. 2 weeks ago i was on vacation by the baltic sea, and it still feels like it was just yesterday. working seems to flow as well, even though we are not very well staffed at the moment. i feel that i brought back some kind of 'i don't care' attitude from the baltic sea, and i really should hold on to that. a lot of things happened since the last time i posted, and i will try my very best to finally close up onto my present life. these photos are still from april. we wandered around near an abbey on a hiking trail that was marked with butterfly signs. we have seen one or two, but the trail itself was equally as beautiful.
before we drove to that abbey we visited a little castle.
a single picture of the rhine.
the abbey of marienthal is situated in the taunus mountains near geisenheim. it's a well known place of pilgrimage, as you can see by the sight of the benches. when we visited, close to no people were around, though, i guess the pilgrims come here preferably in summer times.
the abbey's park. there were stations of jesus' life everywhere so you could kneel down and pray. we didn't do that, though, as we're not religious at all, just interested in quiet and peaceful places.
there were a few poems on some signs, that i really liked.
listen closely
to silence
and noise,
in the room
and outside,
to low tide and high tide,
in your own head.
to impulse
and vibrancy in the heart,
to quietness and reclusiveness,
to subtlety and reticence,
listen closely.
the most delightful things of the world
come to us if we only listen.

the woods were so green and lush, the heydays of spring.
young oak tree leaves.
the sign of the butterfly.
and soon after that i was lucky to find one!
in this meadow we laid down to rest a bit. it was so quiet, only birds were chirping and butterflies fluttered everywhere.
after some rest we wandered on - past hills of vine.
past former mills.
little creeks.
here we found another butterfly, but i didn't shoot a decent picture.
on this little bridge i sat down for a while - just staring into the little creek or into the woods. the light and the shadow play was so good on this day.
