Afterword by Professor Dr. phil. Michael Bockemühl

To witness the course of a year seems to be something taken for granted. Yet we rarely realize how deep the effects of the seasons on our daily lives are. Not only does our resonating to the dynamic rhythms of the year affect our moods, it also touches the whole attitude to life down to our basic being, even as far as our health.

Every season has its special opportunities. Comprehending these can be a creative enrichment of life, while experiencing nature as well as in every spiritual exercise.

The inner resonance with the changeful vicissitude of the year can become a source of power for any type of work and for the whole life. Wera Bockemühl has painted a sequence of pictures for her children. The twelve atmospheric colour compositions and the actions that are in harmonious accord with them, are supposed to wake and nourish the sense for the year as a living realm of experience. Accompanied by verses - in collaboration with her husband Alfred - a calendar was created, whose pictures were exchanged in the room of my childhood over the year. Yet I always wanted to have the sequence read to me again and again like a picture book.

Wera Bockemühl lived from 1903 to 1989. The calendar about the cycle of the year published by her has been long out of print. The new edition corresponds with her heart's desire to open with her pictures the eyes and the hearts of the children for the infinite gifts of the seasons - exceeding the circle of family and friends.
