It is a feeling of being overwhelmed, which we all face every year. It seems an unstoppable process with no one in charge, a crazy outburst that comes as a bad season. It contradicts our feeling of preserving the earth. And now, Christmas is coming. “Houston, do we have a problem?” A mirror.

Deep in the forest, this mushroom (Russula ochroleuca, geelwitte russula) shows fifty shades of yellow. It is a wonder of nature. Its architecture is a miracle on its own.

The sunlight tells the story of election day (for a new Dutch parliament) through the stained glass window. It seems to be a sign from above. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the pattern appeared on the wall while enjoying my coffee in the company of my son-in-law and one of my grandsons.
Could the fuzzy pattern be a metaphor for the results on this day? I thought. What is it trying to say to me? Which story is written here? Anyway, the scattered colours lead to a range of personal reflections about the state and future of our society and Nature, this on the morning after the (impressive) day before. The pattern has some mysticism in it. And beauty.
