Autum/Fall in Gothenburg

Well, I could start with that it always rains and is so cold and getting now so early dark but you know what?! Actually we have great weather here, warm wind blowing and only once in a while the rain. Autum in Gothenburg can be fine. But you know what?! Is autum/ fall not the best time of the year? 
The colours are spreading, your steps are faster and you still can eat outside or well you can look out for mushrooms. It is the best time to discover nature as its best again. Go out and not only into little parks. Flee to the woods and smell and listen! Listen and hear that you can hear the silence in nature. Thought around this town Gothenburg- there are a lot of woods and little sees- you don't have to go that far. Just visit the botanical garden and then the saved nature area behind it. 
After driving the car the day before and wonder why so many people seems to like to get killed by a car because they don't even look on the streets and I mean when it is dark you really should, as the most of you aren't actually no sparkling light. But even the bike riders don't seem to care- no light, no looking around , just going on their bike. Not that this is new as I know this from Berlin and many other big towns but I am drifting away now. Those letting them self killed by stupidness is just one of the sad things going on on earth. All those killing by following blind a religion or the media and the politic instead of taking care of their life by - well - your own. Of course those thoughts came up after I went through the wild, the garden, the park. Because nature is such a place to easy show you what life is about. Just look around, the plants, the animals and we as the mankind think, really think, we are better because we have a brain -many don't use by the way. How sad this is, but more sadly those who prefer to stay blind never know. But then, we have a choice because we have a brain. We can choose to live in love. Because nature also does this and see how god it gets. There is no hate and no useless killing. There is no need for negative use of power. Yes some animals eat animals but only when they are hungry. They do not kill just to give you pain or because you are different. Difference is actually needed for a healthy nature. A wood will liv better with hundreds of different kinds of plants and animals. So does a garden. 
But what I also like with a garden, parks and botanical garden is, that you travel through time and space and countries. So many plants come from so many different places and there you see them coexist. And then the silence. How I could easy forget that this is so god for you, is just to remember that when we live our everyday life, we are easy to turn our eyes the wrong way as we have to often learnt from the media, politic and religions. So turn around and breath, sit in the sun, touch the tress and grass and watch the birds fly. 
How wonderful to be in the middle of something like a wilderness and being far away from a town which surrounds this place. I actually felt that I even was not in Sweden. I felt like I was home at my parents wood. That feeling that I could be somewhere on this earth and that it doesn't matter where this place actually is was new. I just felt being in the nature and that's why I tell you to do the same. It is still warm enough and it is so colourful and the shadows play is so nice and you calm down and so you reconnect with the nature, the true nature you are part of.  We are all part of, but we are drifting away to soon, to often. And understanding in the same time how big it is to have a big park in town. It is not just a place to rest, it is to reconnect and the air refreshing machine and it is culture and after all it is a wonder we have the great luck to have. Our grandmothers generation may not did all right but this, they did, because this will keep the chance for us people to survive when the time of real crisis come, because this will remind us before and after how to survive in nature and how we are part of it and that the world, the earth does not need us but we do need the earth.  
If only more people would walk and talk in a park or just walk and watch and be in silence instead of having their focus on the iphone nowadays. What a shame. 
But there is always hope. There is always a chance. There is always a choice. To waken up and reconnect. Like you've seen in so many movies in the last years. 
So, folks, now, the pictures are coming and maybe you want to do the walk in the green. 

LOVE & LIGHT

two plants connecting 

the colors of our life

art is for some just a place to be

the japanese garden part

autum/ fall must be the greatest time of the year

seems so far a way this town called Gothenburg but is nearer then you think

once there was a question....

-Is Money important?

Yes and No

It depends on the way you look on it.

-Is knowledge important?

Yes and No

It depends on the way you use it.

-Is Love important?

Yes and No

It depends on the way you understand it.

-So Love is not important?

All I say is, it is the way you understand it.

Love is a concept. Love is a feeling. Love is spiritual and Love is a picture.

We love the Love.

We love the picture of Love.

But is Love important?

Does Love really exist?

How do you know it?

-So Love does not exist?

...

-So if not- but sex exists?

What sex do you mean?

-The one act two people can have.

Sex is a concept, sex is a chemical reaction, a physical attraction and sex is a spiritual thing. Does this mean it exists?

How do I know it when I even don’t know if you understand the same as I?

How do I know what you think and see if you are never in my mind?

All I see is my reality and there I can believe you talk the same way I do, but I will never know.

It is like the universe, which has no end and no beginning.

A concept we will never understand. Cos everything is in the same time and so it is in existence and not even existing.

But even so I will never know if you have the same understanding of this as I.

In my imagination I hope we have the similar reality.

There things can exist and be important but even so it is not existing.

Cos it can’t be and therefore it can.

So does Love exist?

It is the way you understand it.

Is Love important?

Yes and No.

-Is then our live important?

Yes and No.

It depends on how you see on it.

Live is inside you and around you.

Live is a concept and a biochemical reaction.

Live is a creation and a logical reaction.

Live is what we believe to see.

But is live important? To whom?

If we don’t exist and then exist in the same time.

How can it be important? How can’t it be?

So it’s the way you see.

 LOVE & LIGHT

See, after two months it was time to write you again... :-)

where the not so rich people liv

on my way when I work for people who are living home and need a nurse

yes, it is a church...

Now you're following my blog you know for sure I am now working in Sweden. Actually in Gothenburg. 
Well let's travel in time, as it was my luck I have the Tardis with me and we have to flee from the monsters anyway.

So follow me on my journey.
Now two months have gone and we are back to the beginning of the summer. As I am a lucky guy I have friends who waited to catch me up from the airplane and I have two big baggages with me and two little. Can't have enoughbut to be true, we don't need much in the beginning as starting to work in Sweden means you move on strange and foreign places. Make sure you can catch a placce before you come, because most time you won't be lucky to get a flat from your boss. 
As I was already here for interview I also did went to the skatteverket which is importand because you need to get your personal number. So now being back I have a personal number but am not to find in the book of folk. Which is a problem more or lesson in Sweden as it is the door to actually everything here. So writing a letter and saying that I will not exapt this was one of the first things I had to do. 
After that it was just to move in in the guest room of a freind of a friend, who luckely lived near my working place. So summer mornings started with a walk to work. Nice. 
Well let's go on... eating the swedish food is something I really like but after a while it became bit to much as it is much salted and much sweet. So starting to get a belly was not planed and I changed back to the way I did eat back home. And of course going on with a little sport.
That helped. But I was waiting for the answere from the skatteverket to be part of the folk. No answere came and so I have to always please my working partners to do part of the job for me, because I don't  have the elektiric sertification. Which is needed for computer and doors. Yes doors to medicine and struff only a few people are able to reach. Trying to take my passport is not helping, even with the swedish bank I have to discuss to sent in my check from work  and get the next wage direct to my bank. Well without a swedish pass there is next to nothing possible here. It's the only thing mostly which tells officially that you are you and are in existence. No matter how good your english, german or how new your frensh pass is- there like nothing worth here. 
So waiting, waiting and waiting... I now know I will wait much longer as this is bureaucracy.
That can take a long time here, although the law is clear for those who are living in EU, you just need a job or to study in Sweden so you must be part of the folkbook. But as it is everywhere, people are doing the job and so you can have luck or less of it.
But back to nice things... being in the amusement park in Gothenburg is fun and as it is summer every monday people will gather around there and sing along songs and stars witll sing with them. All kind of songs. All kind of peopel are included. That is very amusing. Also summer in Sweden can be warm and very nice as even the biggest towns here have a lot of nature inside. So sitting in a coffe and eating cake is in no way hard to do. And as I meantion I have friends here I visit them on there island, being in there garden and trevel to the beach. 
Having fun at work after my last job in Berlin is an pleasant experience thought I work on two places- a nursing home and in the district I work for which means I drive a care and of course drove two or three times wrong. Discovering the town that way gives me such a new sight, that it is very interessting but stressing time too as I also have to phone all the time which is in a foreign language hard to learn. So after the first two weeks I was feeling that my ears went hot and I need to cool them down and took an extra sleep to rest my mind and body. 
Of course after two months it has become much better with the language, although such things takes time. Another thing which takes time is to get a flat. To rent a room. Well guys, this is time consuming and less lucky. Nowadays many many people are moving for several reason to Gothenburg and there are far to less flats and rooms. Which means it takes a long long time to rent somewhere. And it is not cheap. 4000 Kronen for 10-15 m2 is minimum. Mostly it goes up to 7000 till 8000 Kronen. Living in the centre is so clear more expencive and can go up to 15000 Kr. .... 
So moving from one place to another is very common and after two months I moved the first time. 
Not sure how long I stay at my actual place and as it is not even sure how my working live will go on next year, I have to be prepared for everything. See, what I was promised did came out a bit different so, I have to see how the future will look they can give me when we talk next month. As I am not the youngest I feel that I am not willing to take what ever else may be. Some things will never be a question again to do. I am sure some of you know very well what I mean as it is sometimes we learn what things are good for us and what we are good for. To compromise is sometimes of course necessary but not always the best and sometimes I take the consequenses more likely then to compromise, for I know what I can bear or should I say willing to do, to take.
But as we travel in time the time machine refused to travel into the future. How unlikely! 
What more to see then? The houses here are very nice but don't judge a book by it's cover!
Even in the areas where mostly poor people liv, it looks from the outside nice but inside it can be totally different. That is maybe another discovering. In Berlin it is the same but mostly it used to be better inside then outside for the common people. 
But after all, it is easier to get a flat of your own no matter if it's rent or bought then here in Gothenburg. The waiting time is around 3 years here untill your can call a place your own. In Stockholm it is even longer and said to be 7 years. No wonder that the prices are high and people are moving that much but be sure, best way is to have less baggage. 
That's why I have my things back in Berlin and just now those little things home there are going to be left in an container for the next month. They will be in a Box and hopefully not for too long, as it is known that most people never come back and take them out of the box and into a new home. But this is just what people say. 
And as words go by so quickly we are back in the now time, with the rain in Gothenburg and the autum/ fall coming. The leavs are getting new colours and the wind gives you a blow to remind you that it is time to take the bigger clothes. 
Enjoy the pics down and get a warm feeling with them. 
 
LOVE & LIGHT
