Today on 21. of March is the official beginning of spring, but is it really? How do we define a beginning, when does it really start? When the baby has taken its first brith, when some flowers are showing up? Maybe life is not as defined with beginnings and endings as we always thought, maybe it is rather a circler?
In this musing I invite you to ponder with me and gain a new perspective on how we see things.

He grows up in a seal sanctuary, where fish rain from heaven until one day, they take him away and nothing is the same anymore. How will he cope? Robin will make you smile and ponder all at the same time.
Fish come from heaven, right,  ha...

This is a partly a memoir and a partly a musing. Years ago I encountered Dunboy Castle on the Beara Peninsula in Ireland, before it was rebuilt as a hotel. It was  just a ruin surrounded by cows on a meadow. I love ruins, because they remind us of past times and also remind us, that we can be imperfect, allowing the past to be carried over into the present.

It's dying and now the adventure starts, because the only one who can help is the rainbow dragon, who looks like a dragon fly residing in the rainbow waterfalls. This story is about looking inside and resurrecting what's nearly been dead, tending to the garden of our own soul, where ultimately the magic resides...

There's a star, that yearns to fall from the skies into the waters of the sea of life. With the power of his imagination, he makes something sheerly impossible become possible.

The meat eating plant fortunately had made her a special cloak, so that the butter wouldn't stick to her wings, while she was dig-eating her way through the butter tunnels. Unfortunately the other bees were making fun of her, until one day she couldn't take i...

Maybe it was to be expected. Birds and chairs might have just too different personalities to live together. The crake and the duck were a couple and freshly in love, when they stumbled across the two empty chairs, twins, who had been abandoned by their previous owner. Apparently they weren't fashionable enough anymore. Of course the crake and the duck took pity, taking the twins in. The only problem was, they got terribly on e...
