Every year autumn brings rain, wind and falling leaves.

 It gets slowly darker to prepare us for the winter and it's cold darkness. Maybe that is why nature coloures everything in bright red, orange and yellow. 

To show us colours for the last time before everything goes black and bleak.

When I was a child we used to go out, collect leaves and chestnuts, dry them at home and create weird, vivid collages of the little treasures we had found. It was a whole new world every autumn.

We did build our own Wonderland.

"Don't settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon. You are still going to live a long time and it would be a shame if you did not take the opportunity to revolutionize your life and move into an entirely new realm of experience."

Wild Child

She was full of magic and wild wishes. 

She owned a one eyed cat, that was blind and sounded like an alien everytime it purred and like an old lady drinking whiskey, smoking cigarettes, enjoying herself listening to Johnny Cash everytime she started to meow. 

Sometimes the girl was unheeded, most of the times she was happy, and near to the wild heart of life. She never liked being alone, she prefered being in love and surrounded by people eventhough  or maybe because she grew up surrounded by nature and silence in village where the bus stopped two times a day only. The woods beside her home were as old as time itself.

 She was young and wilful and wildhearted. She told me stories of her childhood when she spent hours alone amid a waste of wild air and fresh green leaves, 

lost in the complete tangle of the forrest and veiled grey morning light”
