Gift

Weiteres Gedicht von den Gaben

Dank will ich sagen...
für die Liebe, die uns die anderen sehen läßt
wie die Gottheit sie sieht,...

Another Poem of the Gifts

I want to say thanks...
for love, that makes us see the others
like the deity sees them,...

Jorge Luis Borges







What a notion of Love, what a notion of God

Schmetterling, Schmetterling

Sometimes I wonder if the German language possesess an inherent brutality, like a "butterfly" is a "Schmetterling", which would rather mean something like "burstling" and "schmettern" really implies a loud and violent act.

Then there is this the English lyrics "You, you break my heart, you tear me up in so many parts" of this song,





translated into "Du, du brichst mein Herz, du spaltest mich in Stücke- links und rechts."/ You, you break my heart, you cleave me to pieces - left and right.



There is also "Ich fürchte mich vor dir."/ I'm afraid of you. ;)

Be sure to pack your axe ;).

Those Honey Lips




"... with a wicked, wicked grin."










Like most of philosophy, a good movie explains itself from the ending. Sometimes there might be quite odd and often memorable scenes that in retrospect reveal their true meaning.

Some minor spoiler alert, I highly recommend watching The Strange Awakening before reading on!

Reading the reviews on imdb, I notice that some people remember, even after years, the same scene and it is a key one, at least in my view, yet they are not able to see its deeply twisted and disturbing meaning, going well beyond the mere fact that a brother kisses his alleged sister in a quite unbrotherly way. Maybe he is just responding to her wicked unsisterly designs for him while she is drawing him into her deadly web. Kiss me deadly.

Fiercely/ Ferocious



resolved

Proxy




As we struggle for the only true way for everyone to be happy, we fundimentally forget that there might just be so many ways and that above all it's more important to create the environment so that everybody might live up to their - sometimes very own - personal happiness.

Inside or out would be no category any more.



Of course, there will be choices to be made ;).
