Once again @galenkp kept me well occupied over the weekend with his WE posting prompts.
There would certainly have been a lot of photos with very happy or very sad memories in my fundus. Above all, there would have been better ones from the photo quality and more beautiful ones than the one I choose now to show.
Nevertheless, I could not decide for one of my old photos, because the thought in me could not be shaken off that there is no such thing as "the happiest" or "the saddest" moment for me. Life is and remains a roller coaster of emotions. All the experienced moments of the past and all the desired goals of the future make up what we are at the moment. This one moment, that's life.
So I decided to retake a "NOW" photo and quickly before it got dark I went to the garden. I had thought of photographing the place where my dog's ashes are buried, where spring flowers are now blooming.
But then life itself came to my rescue and our little Quirrl came around the corner and wanted to play with the frisbie. And as if by chance (although I actually do not believe in coincidence) I could take this photo you see here.
It contains all the points that were listed as possible prompts!
- Very sad moments, the death of beloved people and animals that accompanied me for a long time.
- Very happy moments. This little bush, called Weigele, is an offshoot from a shrub in Bavaria, where my cat is buried and where I once thought I had found my "forever place" in life. Happy, but at the same time sad again, because that time is over.
- Best holiday, when I lived in Bavaria, I actually had here too.
- Of course, you can find much more spectacular and magnificent nature than in our garden. Nevertheless, this piece of land, "my land" has been deeply connected to me since I took my very first steps here.
- The most important person in my life: My grandfather, who loved these little forget-me-nots flowers and planted them everywhere in the garden, where they now bloom again and again every year.
- And that is also something I am proud of. To be the descendant of my ancestors, to let them all live on in me.
And finally, the most important thing. The here and now. Because it is the only moment in which we can breathe and live, everything else is just an illusion.
Life does not always have to be perfect, sharp, colorful, staged, just like this snapshot photo.
So I had huge fun playing Frisbie with the little mouse in the garden, chasing her when she doesn't give the Frisbie, then throwing it again and watching her run fast after her toy. The happiest moment of my life at that very moment.
