Changes

March 25, 2020

Nothing is the same. It never will be. We will have to find new ways. Always. Our latest walk in Münsterbusch & Brander Wald, home of the Mysterious Pasture Beech. It looked quite different after the storms.

Magnolia Revisited

March 21, 2020

Last spring I wrote about our Martial Magnolia, a beautiful tree that grows right next to the building of our beloved teacher’s Dojang.

It made me think of our martial arts classes, which will be on hold… Read More Magnolia Revisited

Books and Life

March 21, 2020

Books have been my (nearly) life-long companions. The ones I’ve read throughout my life have transported me, educated me, and in a way, still shape me into who I am today.

Inner Strength

March 15, 2020

When things go strange, it’s more important than ever to take good care of ourselves, and each other. Let’s give this moment (and the next, and the one after that) our very best. Sending much love.

Taking Care

March 12, 2020

Lately, I’ve been enjoying silence. Perhaps it’s a compensation for the louder world outside. Or even the one inside. Seeking balance. I’ve noticed it while cleaning our floors yesterday. No music, no podcast, no background-filling. And I didn’t miss it, for a change. It’s different. Just my thoughts, a few traffic sounds from further away,… Read More Taking Care
