More and more bloggers stop blogging. That's so sad!
Please stay non the blog universe. Write on. Flowers to all of them.

Because Mikroblogging on Insta or on Facebook or Twitter is not the sam.
I love long blog articles.
But I have to admit - YouTube Videos are much easier to watch.
✨
And well ...

“The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.”
― Terry Pratchett

I have two little trees. One with lemons, the other with oranges. They died over the winter. Lost all their leaves. This two trees were strange. I had the felling, they want to be near each other because they got very long branches to reach over.
🌱
And now they are gone. Exactly at the same time. Together?
🌱
But I kept them. I spoke with them. Come back. I will place you near each other.
And the other morning, they had the tiniest leaves. Both. At the same time.
🌱
I should probably keep my promise ...

“It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses. ”
― Colette

My: "I'm back post." There is so much going on ...

But -
I discoverd a new author.

Nina Lykke has a great writing style. Very smooth and intelligent, a rare mixture.

Her literary themes include elements of dark satire mixed with humour and tragedy.

She is a bestsellereng author in Norway and I'm really surprised that I have never heard of her before. I stumbled upon her book in the library and loved the cover and the blurb.
✨
"Natural Causes",( in German: Alles wird gut") is about "Elin", who is a doctor and has been married to "Axel" for two decades. She finds everything turned upside down when her ex "Bjørn" appears on Facebook.
✨
She moves into her doctor's office in an absurd cohabitation with the plastic skeleton "Tore", with whom she has interesting dialogues. Thematics in the novel include infidelity, dissolution of marriage, and decadence of the middle class.
There is a very unexpected end. Fun to read :)

"No one can sense the undercurrents of a populace better than a general practitioner. I’ve seen it all, gluten free, lactose free, sugar free, the online or print headlines trying to make healthy people think that everything is going to fall into place if only they’ll stop eating bread or cheese. Middle-agers who don’t get why they’re always so tired. It’s because you’re starting to get old, I tell them, but they don’t think aging applies to them, just as death doesn’t apply to them either. They think they’re the exception."

It was difficult for me to post the last weeks. What is important, when there is a war in your neighborhood?⁠
⁠🌿⁠
But life goes on, in Kiew and certainly in other parts of the world. I hope this old habit of aggressively attacking a country, other people, the world - ends soon.⁠
⁠🪴⁠
For me - its helpful to create and write, not in a busy way but calm and focussed. Mediation helps too. ⁠

“If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.” ⁠

📌Letztens habe ich einen Podcast (The Writer Files) gehört, in dem die Autor:innen sich am Ende alle wünschen sollen, mit wem sie essen gehen wollen und wo. ⁠
Egal ob tot oder lebendig. Die Autorin - Vanessa Veselka - entschied sich für Tolstoi und Dostojewsky. Okay, wow. Gerne gelesen, aber getroffen??⁠
Für wen hätte ich mich entschieden? ⁠
Und wo wäre ich mit ihm oder ihr hingegangen? ⁠
⁠
Wen hätte ihr gewählt? ⁠✨⁠

Spring already.
🌱
So beautiful and still - The ungoing war is not what I, we, I think the world wants, but it’s there, and the world has to deal with it.
I hope, you all fell save and have enough power to help others if nessessary.
🍃
Love and peace.

I find a lot of calmness in my artwork.
This is more experimenting with colour and paper than to write.

So this war ... cannot be ignored, cannot be accepted, but - at the same time - life goes on.⁠

Today I want to share a statement of Russian Autors of children and young adult literature, because I'm a young adult author as well.⁠
⁠🌙⁠
It's translated into German please translate into your language if you are curious.⁠
⁠🌓⁠
Have a great and peaceful day.⁠ ⁠

📌Offener Brief an Putin⁠
Russische Kinderbuchautor:innen: "Stoppt diesen Kr*eg!"⁠
⁠
"Herr Präsident, liebe Parlamentsmitglieder, Minister, Senatoren,⁠
⁠
wir wenden uns an Sie, weil Sie verantwortlich sind für diesen Kr*eg. Am 24. Februar 2022 sind russische Streitkräfte in das Gebiet der Ukraine eingedrungen. Das ist keine Mission zur Sicherung des Friedens, wie Sie es nennen, es ist Kr*eg.⁠
⁠
Wir, Bürger der Russischen Föderation, Kinderbuchautoren, Verleger, Übersetzer, Illustratoren, Kritiker, Bibliothekare, Dozenten fordern: Stoppt diese Militäroperation, diesen Kr*eg gegen die Ukraine.⁠
⁠
Wir arbeiten für Kinder, und Dichter und Schriftsteller wissen, wie man erzählt und wie man über den Kri*g, über seine Schrecken und das Leid schreibt. Aber wir wollen und werden nicht wie Sie von einem Sondereinsatz sprechen, denn dies ist Kr*eg.⁠
⁠
Kinderliteratur spricht mit Kindern über die Zukunft, bereitet sie auf ein anständiges Erwachsenenleben vor. Wir können und wollen mit den Kindern nicht über das Leben sprechen, das Sie ihnen nun bieten. Wenn Sie Russland in diesen Kr*eg hineinziehen, rauben Sie den Kindern die Zukunft ihres eigenen Landes. Wir fordern den sofortigen Abzug unserer Truppen aus dem Gebiet der Ukraine."⁠
⁠
(Übersetzung aus dem Russischen: Thomas Weiler)⁠
⁠
Alle, die unterzeichnet haben, findet ihr im Artikel im Börsenblatt, von wo ich diesen Text geteilt habe.⁠

Reading and watching Netflix. I am so addicted!⁠

Reading and watching Netflix. I am so addicted!⁠

I'm watching Inventing Anna at the moment. I’m a hugh Shonda Rhimes Fan, so - obviously.⁠

Everything is great - except of the sequence in Germany. Looks like a time travel to the 70th. And - in most schools students do not eat lunch. Looked rather american. Other than that - Great series.⁠

“The Seductor Imposter definitely has its superpowers, of course: charm, charisma, zeal, and spontaneity.” ⁠
― Lisa Haisha⁠
⁠
📌Diese zwei Bücher beschäftigen mich gerade, nicht nur, weil sie farblich so gut zusammenpassen.⁠
🍃⁠
Das erste ist: Isabelle Lehns "Binde zwei Vogel zusammen". Eine Geschichte, die Filmset und Realität in der Figur eines Journalisten vermischt, der langsam seine Identität verliert. Wie immer bei Isabelle Lehn bin ich spät in die Geschichte reingekommen, dann aber drangeblieben. Das interessanteste immer zwischen den Zeilen.⁠
🍃⁠
Das zweite Buch ist von Geovanie Martins, Stories von dem brasilianischen Shootingstar, der aus den Favelas - Armenviertel - von Rio de Janeiro berichtet, denn dort kommt er her. Eine raue Sprache und ein Einblick in die Lebenssituation der Menschen dort, Gewalt und Armut.⁠
🍃⁠
Beide Bücher lassen sich gut parallel lesen und erweitern auf unterschiedliche Weise meinen Horizont.⁠
