Het autoritair (en eenzijdig) gedrag inzake tarieven van de Verenigde Staten maakt dat er met dit land niet meer te onderhandelen valt (Trudeau probeert Trump al twee weken aan de lijn te krijgen, maar het lukt hem niet (bron: New York Times)). Het is niet alleen ‘ikke, ikke, ikke en de rest kan stikken’ maar ook het beledigen van waarden en normen, dat tot kunst is verheven. Ongekend, ongehoord en ongepast. Binnenkort is Europa aan de beurt. Lees verder “I am Canadian!”
This window in Cádiz breathes karma. I like this colour palette with the carmine red window, black bars, pastel yellow wall, and the greys with the fine line of golden sapphire. Clean, safe and secure in the quietness of siesta time.

With snow and rain on our December paths and lanes, this summer shade is a hope for better days. You can almost sense the warm breeze.

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.

On election day, the quietness of the forest brought this autumn palette. The colours are vividly related to pleasant summer memories.
