REFLECTIONS

We can sink
or we can swim.

We can swim alone
until exhaustion drowns us
or we come together to build rafts.

We can fight for the best position on the raft
or we can try something new
band together
live.

What is vital
is that we come together

GOOD MORNING 🌍🌎🌏✊🕊️

Troubling times
call for courage & action.

The lone rider might be strong
together we are stronger.

Those who need us to be divided
reiterate that there’s nothing we can do.

I take the challenge & say: let’s find out what we are capable of.

Old tree, part of it seems dead, but there’s one massive branch visible, growing high, branching, an impressive canopy. Photo from last September, taken near Lübeck.

THE BODY
& NATURE’S DESTRUCTION

Depleted nature = depleted body
Depleted nature = depleted mind
Depleted nature = depleted soul

Healing nature = healing the body
Healing nature = healing the mind
Healing nature = healing the soul

GOOD MORNING 🌍🌎🌏✊🕊️

But we were lost
and we knew it.

We were lost
and with us everything
that was still dear to us.
Little enough.

And our planet suffered
coughed
spat fire
flooded
died.

We were lost
and so we decided to learn to trust.

Very old tree with four major branches sharing one massive but shortish trunk.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday

Last Wednesday, I came across this giant in the Müritz Nationalpark.

A stark reminder how amazingly big trees can grow. And a reminder that growing takes decades & centuries. Mature trees can’t be mass produced.

and we are its people.

We don’t need to fight for more exploitation.

We need to restore our planet.

Earth being ‘pushed beyond its limits’ as energy imbalance reaches record high State of the Climate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance, with oceans absorbing vast majority of trapped heat

“Humanity has just endured the 11 hottest years on record. When history repeats itself 11 times, it is no longer a coincidence. It is a call to act.”

And yes, we can act. We can make the planet our concern. Together.

Let’s be bold and rethink our world.

Reflections in a lake (Schlosspark Lübbenau). Blue sky in the left upper corner, mostly clouds and distorted branches of trees.

REFLECTIONS

Occasionally I write that the mistakes of our ancestors got us into all our messes.

It’s true that some of the roots of our troubles go back millennia.

But today, one of the people I talked

REFLECTIONS

‘Let them end the wars before they ask anything of us,’ I was told today when chatting with someone about the state of our planet.

I’ve heard this before & I kind of get it.

#reflections #OurFuture #photography #mirrored #nature #trees #spreewald

Photo taken from a kayak, massive roots along the shore, the old tree freshly cut, all of it reflected in the rippling water.

Kayaking in the Spreewald today was not the recharging escape I’d hoped for. There were too many old felled trees & cut branches to ignore.

What the heck are we doing? was the thought most often on my mind.

#OurFuture #ecocide #forestfriends #rewilding #photography #spreewald

The focus is on a rich patch of moss, blurred in the background a large bare tree.

FOCUS
I wonder what keeps us from focusing.
Is it the sheer overload of voices with answers, everyday stress, or lack of awareness?

FOCUS on what?
- uniting globally
- visions & stories for a world where people & planet thrive
- restoring our planet

Detail, view into the tulip. There’s a dynamic as if it was reaching for something.

#TulipStudy
and a #Reminder that

WARS END
when enough of us say NO!
:
Why should we?
Because the only thing wars achieve is destruction. And we all pay the price for it.

Breaking through a layer of dried leaves, a Siberian Squill, still closed a blue bud, a stranger in Berlin, a native in Russia, the Caucasus and Turkey.

WHERE ARE WE?
where do we go from here?

I’d like to think of us
as the living seedling
breaking through the rouble.

We don’t have to accept
the world as it is!

We can refuse to play along.

We can shape a world
where people & planet thrive.

REWILDING

brought up by Eoghan Daltun’s thread 🧵

Who shapes the lands?
Who disturbs the soils?
Who creates habitats?
Who prepares the grounds for flowers?

Tree bark, several shades of white and brown, flat, partly broken pattern. A red- brown part looks a bit like a dented heart.

THE END OF THE WORLD

A lot of people seem to expect the end of the world with a shrug as if it was just another item on the menu.

Here’s how I see:
