Impressions from a Cold Winter Sunday Morning

Winter is back with full strength in Europe. Yesterday evening in the online class friends from Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Denmark told me about heavy snow and frost of minus 15° over the country. This morning it was also quite cold here but “only” about minus 10° C.

Since nearly 21 years, I am regularly doing a short fire ritual on Sunday morning, whatever the weather – except with storm/intense rain. So also this morning. It was a beautiful energy – and silence still all around, where normally during the week rush hour traffic pushes its noisy way to the highway. While I was singing mantric chants in a low voice, the rising flames were spreading their magic light.

After the fire ritual I did my “morning walk ritual” through through our neighbourhood and over the nearby field. It was just the time of daybreak.

Reflections of street lights on a wire ball in a garden The dwarfs were already awake … … and a little angel quietly brought light into the day despite his broken arm. The refugees in the asylum center, however, still seemed to be asleep…. The lights along the school path were burning, but no children’s noises – it’s also sports vacations here, despite Corona time. Along the country lane the snow still drew structures in the grass

It was so cold that my camera shut down after this picture – or was the battery simply empty?
