When I crossed stream after stream fed by the melting summer snow. I reflected on the beginnings and I became connected to the world. I dipped my cup in the fresh water, and sitting down sipping the water just released from its prison of summer-snow, I felt that I like that stream being part of another wholeness.

We start the Journey on Carpe Diem today. Aleph represent both the beginning and the point where everything meets. Come join our journey.

Even seas have small beginnings! Wonderful way to usher in the new year, Björn—thank you!
Big things have small beginnings, Big oaks from little acorns grow! Nicely Bjorn!

One small step… Happy New Year!

I like the connection between the rivulet to the seven seas ~ Lovely new beginning ~ Happy New Year ~

What a wonderful prelude to our journey Björn… I hope you’ve had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and I wish you a great 2014.
I had an excellent New Years Eve… and now I’m slightly tired…
Take your time to recover …
Nice concept.
I like this. Everything has to start small and branch out.
