Hamstern

-
In German, we use the word hamstern (literally, 'behaving like a hamster') to say "panic-buying", "hoarding goods". That is the way people behave at the moment when they buy 5 kg noodles, 3 packs of toilet rolls and too much fresh yeast at once. And all the rest. Not very social, but when fear is spreading, humans do not think any more.

Since I don't know what tomorrow will bring, I don't want to worry too much about what I will do, won't do or should avoid. But one thing is certain: in 2024, I will hold on, just as I did in 2023. Trying not to hurt others, trying to live reducing my carbon footprint. Living with eyes wide open to see beauty wherever it is. Making art out of it. May love and happiness be yours this holiday season! Water greens in Benalmádena (Andalusia, Spain) Shells on the beach in Benalmádena
