'Ruhelosigkeit' 🌊 #FotoVorschlag

Das Meer, die Wellen sind immer in Bewegung und doch beruhigend für mich.

Sunny ☀️

The rhythm of Earth’s turning—
an ordinary rotation that we interpret as reassurance.

Each cycle brings another chance,
another beginning,
even if nothing in the universe is literally guaranteed.

#SelfRadiance

𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙼𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚗.

Love transmitted without effort is indeed the most precious gift, because it awakens the same capacity in everyone who receives it.

To radiate love simply by existing is a rare and quiet mastery..

It asks for no performance, no correction of the world—
only a steady unveiling of what is already whole within.

Those who embody this presence remind others of their own forgotten light, not by teaching, but by being.

From yesterday to today, the leaves on this maple have mostly fallen away.
So:
🎶Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday.
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day.
Still I'm gonna miss you.🎶

..it’s the people who don’t expect anything from you.. who are your diehards..

Starry sky behind the scrub pines on the Delaware Bay, and a falling star!

Solar philos.

An ontological radiance that breathes through our finite gestures..

In its depths, strength is not opposed to fragility, for both emerge from the same source.

The rhythm of that eternal vitality adapting itself in circumstance; to sense the infinite from which all worlds were sung into motion.

Stand tall.

When we listen, not with the ears,
but with the whole of our being—
the air itself begins to speak.

The noise of the world softens, and from beneath it rises a quieter truth, a trembling note at the center of all things.

It is there that the heart reveals itself—
Pure in essence.

In 1878, American artist Winslow Homer was perfecting watercolor as a primary medium, using transparent washes blotted together and touches of opaque white to model light and atmosphere. “Fresh Air” belongs to an early series painted outdoors at Houghton Farm, a patron’s country estate in upstate New York, where he staged “modern shepherdesses”—contemporary girls in fanciful rustic dress against expansive skies. The subject is less a portrait than a type: poised between girlhood and work, self-contained amid grazing sheep and restless weather. A light-skinned young shepherdess stands on a breezy hillside, profile turned left, hands loosely clasped before her. She wears a straw hat trimmed with a fluttering sky blue ribbon, a pale bodice with ruffled sleeves, and a long, wind-lifted skirt as heavy black shoes with large metal buckles anchor her against the slanting grass. Sheep nose through the turf at her feet, while a branch with small leaves edges the sky in the upper right. Behind her, a high, sun-washed bank of cloud fills the canvas. Light catches her cheek, hat brim, and the creases of her skirt, emphasizing the stillness of her stance against the blowing wind across the grassy hilltop. This painting hints at the era’s taste for pastoral retreat while showcasing Homer’s technical confidence with layered sky, scraped highlights, and selective glazing on a modest wove paper sheet that makes it feel monumental. To achieve the subtle coloration in the sky, he applied overlapping washes of grays, pinks, and blues and then blotted them together. Homer, who rose to national prominence in the 1860s for his magazine illustrations and oil paintings of modern American life, took up watercolor in the 1870s. "Fresh Air" foreshadows his lifelong interest in figures set against nature’s forces, from quiet wind to storm-tossed sea, and marks the moment watercolor became central to his American vision.
