- Lilies of the Valley -

/800-1188-thickbox/fruhlingszauber-2.jpg

I can no longer tell whether the lilies of the valley in my picture came from our flowerbed in Berlin or my mother's in Hesse. Or did they grow in my mother-in-law's garden in Schleswig-Holstein? Possibly the flowers in the vase were a Mother's Day present for her from my sister-in-law Marianne. The white, firm flowers in combination with the light green, clearly formed leaves look so lively and fresh. They symbolise May, a month which inspires us anew year after year. Many people love these flowers – including me, and I have done since I was a child. In May I simply feel younger, fresher and more energetic. Trees and grasses glow in lush green, birds chirp, butterflies flutter and flowers start to bloom everywhere. It is a true joy – a delight. However, as if it were not only nature that is growing and flourishing, I also feel "Sturm und Drang". But it does not draw me into the distance, but tempts me to enjoy the moment and socialising. Living with all my senses: In the garden, in the park, in the meadows, in the forest, in the mountains, by the sea, in the south, in the north, in Portugal, on Crete or on the Tibetan Plateau, where the level highlands now glow in all colours. In May, I would love to be everywhere at once. But because that's not possible, I'm happy to be exactly where I am. Enjoying nature. Celebrating festivities. Enjoying the delightful month in a light and lively way – and, like every year, putting a bunch of lilies of the valley on my table. They smell so wonderfully sweet and lovely.
