From the end to a new beginning - a photo on Flickriver

Nothing touches my inner soul more than autumn, with all its splendor of color, beauty and melancholy. It seems to me as if each time the whole creation with a great last bouquet of intense colors and a divine light would say goodbye and thank the One who created it so wonderfully. Nature is uniquely beautiful and perfect as it is. I feel very comfortable in the big wilderness. With me alone, I feel closer to the Creator than anywhere else. Yes, I am looking for loneliness from time to time to reflect on myself, my loved ones and the world. To be alone in such a beautiful and peaceful place is for me a gift from heaven. In the end is a new beginning. After each winter, spring comes back with a new beginning of life, miraculously returning to all of nature. In an absolutely fantastic and beautiful way.

When I return here, I want to first briefly look into the past and let you share in my life. This place became very important for me and my whole life. It was in a way a return to myself and my own roots. I spent the whole of October in nature and in my beloved homeland. I was able to discover all the beauties of the new again and experienced the most beautiful autumn time in my life. It was literally the "Golden October" with all its wonders. Someone I met told me, "Why should I leave from here where I grew up when the Paradise is right on my doorstep?" This statement touched me deeply, because you often do not have to look for the beautiful, it comes to us. And then, if you can discover it on your doorstep, it is something very special and extremely valuable.

With these words I would like to thank all my dear friends here, who have accompanied me with their friendship through this time. I am very thankful for that. I ask for your understanding, if I could not visit all regularly. I will try to catch up in the next few days and weeks. I am still on the way and make only a short stop here. From the next week on I'll be back in full.
At this point I wish all my friends a peaceful and blessed autumn time full of joy and pleasant colors.

Time to reflect because life was great. What else do I need, what do I let go?

Autumn is the year's most beautiful colored smile.

This is an autumn day, as I saw no one! The air is still, as if you were hardly breathing, and yet fall rustling, far and near, the most beautiful fruits of every tree.
