At the feet of Mother Earth

Today, I took a walk through the park near my boyfriends place. The center of the park consists of artificial, low hills in a female body shape, and is called 'Mother Earth'. So actually, Mother Earth is surrounded by her own park full of trees, ditches and swaying reeds. Although the park is made by human hands, it slowly gets it's own character. Trees grow tall and nature goes it's own way. The farmers mow some paches of grass, so everyone can picknick and play with his dog on the fields, but that's it. I once saw a Great Bittern (Botaurus stellaris) and when you look closely to the ground between the trees, you can find feces of foxes. I love to just sit on the grass and meditate, at the feet of Mother Earth.

The sky and the clouds were wonderful, today.




Bridges keep your feet dry. All the bridges are made out of wood, so they fit perfectly in their environment.

I picked chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla). When the flowers are dry, I use them to make herbal tea.
