Why Rising in the East?
The word Easter is believed to have originated either (most likely) after the Anglo Saxon Goddess of Spring "Estra" which looked upon the Sun as being God, or simply the Rising of the Sun in the East.
Have you ever thought it would be fun...
To sit and watch the rising Sun?
To sit there gazing at the rays
that warm your hands
and brighten your days?
Cherish Yesterday... Dream of Tomorrow... Live Today!!!!
The Sun depicted at top of this page could be under no circumstances less brilliant as a real Sun rising in the morning. This should be an encouragement to our future participants to join and prepare yourself for a very exciting journey. After reading the first few pages, it will not take long for any of you out there to join us in our exiting and educational Trip through the Past. You will find that conversations, comments or suggestions can be made via Email. Join and come along! The Sun is our first Kickoff with winking compassion, to say: Get up fellows; otherwise you will waste the beginning of a journey.
A Kickoff very familiar to some of us: The Beginning of a Football/Soccer game on a beautiful Sunday morning, Sun Rising and the stadium filled up with exciting and expecting fans. A memory alone makes many of us happy and content. With two Beginnings (Kickoffs) start now with My Life's beginning, you have been invited to come and to participate.
The Beginning of the "Journey"
It happened when my parents, many years ago, announced in the local Newspaper, the birth of a healthy male child and called and baptized him Alfred. According to what I was told, there was much happiness. A boy was always the one who perpetuated the Families' name.
I have two sisters, one is older than I. My father was a contractor, consultant and Engineer. I learned quite a bit from him. Never quite one never knows how close you are. Another, requirement was to be punctual at all times very hard for me to accomplish. I tried and was not always successful: In his life there was only Black or White, not a grain of Grey. I tried hard but did not and could follow the Master all Time. A life with such a rule is not easy to live. I don't have the qualification to be or to become a Saint on this Planet.
Both of my Parents are deceased. My younger sister lives in our Family residence and the older One married and immigrated to France, where she still lives today. The place I was born is according to many Travel Agencies one of the most beautiful areas in Western Germany. It is located on the river Rhine with the banks filled with the best Wines. This section of the Rhine is called, rightly so, the Romantic Rhine, the adjacent hills not only have vineyards, they also have Castles which in centuries turn in to Ruins. The little Village of my Birth has and had about three thousand inhabitants, and lives from light industries, little farming. I went to elementary Schools close to the village.
The journey will continue in an upcoming section called: "Premonition", looking forward to meeting you there. Start communicating!! Email me!!
