Lumine Motus;


Every morning looks different, our mood is different.  Every morning brings a change, a challenge to keep us on our toes. 


Morning light seeping  from a pale blue gray sky, changes and challenges  still packed  tightly in this soft blue mystery.

In vite vita;



He who tires of  nature…tires of life.  Titania


In the Orient, the grapevine was a symbol of youth and eternal life.


In vite vita;   In the grapevine is life;

Saepe creat molles aspera spina rosas;


Symphonie des roses;

Iceberg roses/my garden;




This the  rose
In winter white;
Low shadows cast and pause
On golden heart, 
 fragrance hovers
slowly breaks apart. 
Silently waiting for summer’s sun;
Stretching, yearning
Frosty white petals shiver, 
silently  bow
 All it’s scent and allure
 lost and done
Golden heart still aglow.

Saepe creat molles aspera spina rosas - Often the prickly thorn produces tender roses. (Ovid)

Natura non contristatur;



 Photo/ my garden/ Tibouchina Noelle;



The natural world is not sentimental or compassionate. 
May come any natural disaster, tsunamis, earthquakes,  eruption of volcanoes a new Ice age, global warming, anything, nature will recover in time and continue as it has always done.  After a Nuclear war, as we are always playing with fire, we might be gone, but nature will continue in its own way and repair itself in time. Nature is not looking out for us and we as tiny beings think we have to look out for nature.  We are not able to control ourselves how do we assume to control nature. How arrogant we are to assume nature needs us!  We who mainly destroy, and then we come up with little band aids and want to make it better.
 It is like we, the arrogant ones have forgotten that we are just a tiny part of evolution. ©Titania


Natura non contristatur; Nature is not saddened

Festina lente;


Sunrise/my garden;

















Take life slowly;
Have you lately seen, noticed, watched, felt;

The rising sun, its colour turning the morning for a second into  rosy,  golden streaks of light;
 dewy grass under your feet, slowly warming with the rising sun.


 Muscled, steely dark clouds sweeping the sky;
a stand of  dark trees shot through with looming shadows.

The sun dazzling on a stretch of  water.


A view of the land swept up in the shadows of the late afternoon;
a swath of fiery orange at sunset; 

….buried your nose in the heavenly scent of a Rose?

Festina lente;  Hurry slowly;   Titania
