As some of you know I lived a few years as a child in Paraguay, South America.
I am still very attached to this country and really miss the beauty of it.
I actually feel more homesick towards Paraguay then Germany.
When we left I was about 7 or 8 and I drew this picture.
Der Kreuzberg (The Cross Mountain) behind our house. I believed God (Gott) lived up there in the mountains.
When I think about our times in Paraguay my thoughts quickly go to the Kreuzberg...
Recently my Mom came across the current owners of our house's blog. I have been looking at it more than I should... they probably think by now they have a stalker... hahaha
Tonight I came across this picture.
My Kreuzberg! In a way I still believe God lives there...
How cool is that? Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThats cool! Do you comment on theirs blog??
ReplyDeleteHi Sonja,
ReplyDeletethat Cross (about 34ft high) was posted there when I was a child by the fransiscan brothers. For no special reason because they wheren't local. Only from then on, we called the hill; "Kreuzberg" (Crossmounten) Before that, it was called simply "Böni-Berg" Named after the owner of the place. Better known as the local looney.
Somehow, after it was placed, I went out every day to see it from a spot near home. Later in my life when living elsewhere, coming home meant seeing the cross from a distance long before arriving. It allways meant something to me, I don't know what, just something special. maybe that what it's been put up for!
I'm glad, it's special to you too!
