Nada se repite. Todo es único: La corriente del río, la hora que pasa, el instante en que se mueve la hoja… Todo es único. Salud.

Angelou is a miracle in herself (itself?)
My very recently deceased mum got often into a discussion with me, or rather I started it, about the old tree. We nearly used that Angelou poem for her “thanksgiving cards” but the translation in German was very heavy, so I went for a photo of a half-blown dandelion with a Anaïs Nin.
I love Maya and Mary both much. A perfect pairing! Have a happy Sunday.

Being back at a place we love and haven’t been for a long time truly feels like discovering it anew… but already feeling like coming home. I love the quote you added, that’s so fitting.
