My Winter Bouquet Inspiration 

-


I think, winter has its own beauty. 

Most people love spring or summer. I can understand it. My favorite season is autumn. 


In spring or summer when I take a walk, my eyes focus on the beautiful flowers around me or green big trees.

In autumn I can’t take my eyes off of all the beautiful leaves outside. 




So, when the winter comes, nature is quite empty. It feels cold outside. Leaves have fallen. The trees are bare. Sometimes, there is snow, but sometimes not. 


And where are our eyes looking while we take a walk in winter? 


I sometimes feel that apartments or big buildings are more visible than in other seasons, because there are no bushy trees anymore. 





Okay, but when l walk along the river, nature there is still showing me its own beauty. Just spotting beautiful branches that still grow and have little buds, before their young leaves develop. They look so magical. It blows my mind.


„I think, I can do something with them and make them even more beautiful.“



English ivy 


The English ivy and other evergreens are still growing in winter. And they are the perfect green element for a winter bouquet.

They will be very adorable in a winter bouquet. 

It makes me very happy to keep myself busy with all these things. 


It gives me a magical feeling of winter and will some winter vibes having a beautiful bouquet close to me.




winter bouquet in the making 


This is one of the reasons l create bouquets. This side of winter inspired me to do this. And l am getting more and more interested in it. I really love it.


I already gave some close friends, family, and neighbors my self-made winter bouquets. They love them. I love to make people happy and smile. 


And l think a self-made winter bouquet is a nice gift for Christmas as well. It has nice winter vibes. And flower bouquets in general can be given on many occasions.



Guys... I have already ordered some flower seeds and l am really excited about them. Next spring, l will plant some flowers and would like to make my own bouquets from self grow flowers. I think, it will be very great and l can’t wait to do that! So excited! 


I will tell you about the flowers and l hope it will work well. 


Stay healthy!

Weekly Market

the elder lady was very nice, I took the picture in 2016 When I was in my hometown, my family and I would often visit the weekly market nearby, just a 10-minute walk away. As a kid, the excitement of going there, regardless of whether I bought anything, always filled me with joy. The journey to the market was particularly enjoyable, especially the path through the lush green rice fields. Occasionally, I'd spot plants being devoured by numerous caterpillars, a sight I had to avoid due to my fear of them. the view to the traditional market near me Once we passed the green rice fields, the entrance to the market would come into view. Numerous vendors lined the market, offering a variety of goods, fresh produce from local farmers, fashion items, music, and more. During my visits, I'd often indulge in fresh juice or traditional Indonesian sweets. Sometimes, I'd run into friends or family unexpectedly, and we'd head back home together. If I accompanied my mom, we'd often

A Letter to Widji Thukul

This post was first published in Indonesian on January 30th, 2019, click  here !  Widji …  You have made a huge impact! Your words will never ever be forgotten. Your spirit will live on in the lives of many Indonesians that want change. Two weeks ago, on that night, my friends and I had the opportunity to read out your poems and watch your movie, ‘’Istirahatlah Kata-Kata’’ (Solo, Solitude) based on you and your sojourn where it indeed did not depict any violence.  Nevertheless, the words you expressed in your poems moved me to tears. When the movie was nearly finished, although, tears were running down my face, I refused to go to the bathroom because immediately my friends and I were about to read out your poems to many people after the movie ended. That’s why I didn’t want to wipe the mascara on my eyelashes. I would probably look like a black-eyed ghost if I wipe my eyes. I’m indeed foolish at times. Finally, we went to front and prepared ourselves to read your
