Connecting with Nature
We need to care for what we shall protect! When you read this, around 10 billion billion billion atoms (a 10 with 27 Zeros) have formed a superstructure that originated almost 14 billion years ago at the beginning of time. Hyperinflation, spacetime, gravity, supernovas all that was part of an incredible story that changed its essence some 4,5 billion years ago, when life emerged on this planet. Life then got almost wiped off the planet several times. But after this epic 4.5-billion-year story, you are now here and you are now able to read this, to reason and to reflect with your individual intellect. Your 10 to the times 27 Atoms, combined in a unique structure produces your "I". Unfortunately, most of us have never understood how incredible the fact of our existence is and how dense and almost infinite the number of connections that are necessary that we can life in an entangled world, where literally everything connects with everything. Because we lost contact to the processes and the multitude of beings that made and make us possible, we treat the web of life not as a miraculous, incomprehensible mystery of cosmic creativity - but as a mere means for mostly rather primitive needs. This website is mainly and primarily about the wonders of nature, of existence, the stunning creativity and the awe-inspiring cosmic evolution that now results in you reading these words. It is about the science, ethics, and the art of living as if this story really matters. If we can hear and listen to these tunes of an eternal composition, we might find the connection with what made us to what we are. We might be able to reconnect with Nature and by doing so find better ways for a better life that is more in accordance with the infinite from where we come and where we go. The content of this website is of course a very personal approach - that is depending on my interests, talents and hopes. It is an approach that utilizes science, philosophy, art and personal experiences. When I started developing this webpage it was actually meant to focus heavily on Landscape- and Wildlifephotography. But aspirations and goals have changed and now the intellectual aspects of my journey towards a better connection with nature are as important as my photographic attempts to see, feel, understand and to delve into nature. For me photography is a fantastic way to silence the noice of our busy life and to let nature speak. For you it might be writing and reading poems, drawing or painting or dancing in the forest. It doesn't matter what exactly your artistic aspirations are - art is a fantastic way to open your mind up to the magic of the surouding world. This is why photography will play a prominent role on this website - together with science, philosophy and nature experiences.
