I walk my garden, talk to the cats, pick some spring flowers. Celebrate life. That I am here. In this very enchanting moment when everything is breaking free, coming alive. It is so so overwhelming, I want to save it all, catch it in my hands like you catch a butterfly, and keep it for later.... But spring can't be captured. It runs too fast.
Cats are everywhere, outside. I stumble over them. They meow, they chase birds. Oh the bird song. The bees. The mountains. The blue bird sky. My big girl studying in the garden. My little girl running bare feet up the hill. My boy on the basket ball court. My love doing the finishing touches on his motorcycle renovation project. It is so stunning, ready to make someone else happy. For sale. It is all here. Love. Everywhere I look I see it and feel it. And still I feel pain. Pain because of the beauty in it all. Because of the loss of someone who's life had just started... And I'm thinking, he had a great journey, it is not all just sad. It is just as beautiful as spring itself. The thought is kind of comforting...
I sit on my bench, listen to his melodies, crochet a row or two and sip my coffee. Life can be so bitter sweet. Actually, it always is. Maybe it is supposed to be that way. To create the perfect harmony. Just like the perfect harmony in a song.
Kärlek

Annette, Beautiful words, I agree with you 100%. I love your pictures. I visited Switzerland last fall, love it there, would go there any minute, miss all these beautiful cows with bells, just love it:) Greetings from NJ:)
ReplyDeleteAlways so sad when someone so young dies. How beautifully you have written about life with you right now. Bittersweet indeed. Hugs, CJ xx
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photographs, I especially love the tree next to your bench - such a vibrant yellow. I also feel sad at the loss of this talented young man, the same age as my daughter, and my 24 year old self would definitely be dancing with you.
ReplyDeleteHi Annette,
ReplyDeleteI love all the photos you took. Makes me feel like I'm in Switserland for a split second. You can write so beautifully. I get why you're sad, a big big talent is lost. And spring is moving so fast. Life is moving too fast. I want to slow down.
Have a nice (slow) weekend Annette.
Sweet greetings,
Emily

I tried to comment on your lovely blog, but they don't appear for some reason, so here goes again, fingers crossed. The loss of Avicii is terribly sad, so young and so talented, sadder still when you find yourself surrounded by so much beauty, bursting into life.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute cat
ReplyDeleteI am so happy I took my son to an Avicii-concert on his 15th birthday! It was one of his two Concerts at Tele2 Arena in Stockholm. I'm 44 and I can tell you I was not the only parent rocking around that night! After what happened, I am happy we got the chance to experience this.
ReplyDeleteI lost my father and his wife to suicide 10 years ago and oh how I feel for the Bergling family. One good thing is that it has become very ok now to talk about mental Health, especially among our Young ones.
Life is just how you describe it!
