Daylight saving time brought us brighter days. I really enjoy this time because it is still a while until midsummer. When the days slowly turn into darker days again. Soon the macadam will disappear from the roads. New waves of pollen, but not so much dust in the air. Maybe a turn of snow again. It is somehow a bit of a subdued atmosphere, even though it is Easter. Not as happy ambiance as it usually is. Could it be that Halloween has taken over the tradition of Easter witches? I didn’t see a sole Easter witch on Maundy Thursday. I put a little rouge on my own cheeks on Good Friday to remind me of times gone by. Yes, I have been an Easter witch once, and I remember what it was like.
There is a lack of eggs. Poor chickens herds with Salmonella. Inflation, on top of this, and we are reminded that there is war in the world. I couldn´t believe the war would start this decade. Perhaps in case of a lack of natural resources such as oil, minerals, and clean water. The war came earlier than that. The great world powers are balancing against each other to find a new equilibrium in the world. That is what I learned in chemistry lessons. Everything strives for balance.
In these times I feel gratitude. The pandemic is behind us. I embrace each new day with joy.
