Leaping Combustion of Spring

spring has arrived in Berlin ...









the garden has begun to sprout

In honor of warmer weather 
I picked up 2 tops from H&M 
is there anything better in life then holding a baby?
I like this fun magenta color 
14.95 euros each, comfy & lightweight
Easter decorations are up 
the city rejoices
and the evenings are warm enough for a drink outside!
yes, it's time to shake off winter and begin anew




Here's a home movie I made of our Easter celebrations in Hamburg. It's a few years old but you get a glimpse of what we do 




The Enkindled Spring
D.H. Lawrence (1916)
This spring as it comes bursts up in bonfires green,
Wild puffing of emerald trees, and flame-filled bushes,
Thorn-blossom lifting in wreaths of smoke between
Where the wood fumes up and the watery, flickering rushes.

I am amazed at this spring, this conflagration
Of green fires lit on the soil of the earth, this blaze
Of growing, and sparks that puff in wild gyration,
Faces of people streaming across my gaze.

And I, what fountain of fire am I among
This leaping combustion of spring? My spirit is tossed
About like a shadow buffeted in the throng
Of flames, a shadow that’s gone astray, and is lost.
