Hurts

It's amazing to see how quickly a deep hurt might heal, once you try to understand why somebody hurt you so deeply. There are of course no excuses ever to be made, but suddenly you realize the much deeper deformation in the perpetrator's soul. What is eating him from inside.

Torso

Running

inside, trying hard to understand...

Judging

I'm deeply concerned about the fact that some young children already display an attitude of constantly judging other people's abilities and views, and doing this in a very unkind manner.


not even being capable of displaying the lowest level of tolerance...frightening...

Whatever

Vielleicht

a word to suit my sometimes volatile mood...

Sharp and Soft

The Age of Perfection

Reading an interview with Wolfgang Beltracchi, an art forger, the key statement to me was, when he said, that he wanted to perfect the style of the artists he forged.

Today we apparently seem to live in the age of the perfect, but turning his statement topsy-turvy it made me feel like the more perfect anything is, the more it is likely to be false. The perfect as a superficial feature, as the brilliant surface is only there to hide the shallowness, or worse senseless nothingness behind it.

A perfect life is no life at all, so quit the perfect and let's start living.

Just Like this

A feeling I know and cherish. I hope everybody's got some place to call a home ;)!

As Volatile

as something you say...

Our Daily Reminders

"But the

biggest one they fear is that precious thing you got."

Insolence

Time and again one will be challenged to face the consequences for one's insolence.
Yet perhaps this was implied from the start when one told the truth.

Truly Infinite

and beyond all comprehension is mercy....

Fool For Love

Yes, indeed. Again and again, for it's the only inspiration ;)!

Tool

in so many ways the greatest tool ever

Still Falling

Up or down - who knows... ;)

The Fall

might just be a fall from grace or falling in love. No matter what it's the beginning of all ;)!

Troubling

 to some people is the airy lightness of heart and living that seems to prevail in my home region ;) - never to be taken to seriously.

Leisure

...to the revolutionary is essential...

Ignorance

The most ignorant and stupid thing to do is to refuse to listen because you believe you already know.

Bearing

Just sit down and listen. Be there in the moment and be alert.


An attitude I admire tremendously, an attitude that can be spelled in a person's bearing.

I must admit to falling immediately to any person who displays this ;)!

Regretfully this is getting less common, if it ever actually was. There are though certain environments where one is more likely to come across this attitude and no wonder these are creative ones.

Harsh

In winter hearts either need to warm or they will never do again.


Today I wandered and wondered on a warm day about the coolness and coldness that prevails in people's hearts. I'm definitely in need of more warm things like this.

What I Like/Miss about Winter

Miss in as far as this year the winter is doing what I definitely like about it, namely resting.

I like view that in nature and sometimes also the busy business life this season breaks in and forces a sometimes desperately needed rest on all the constant growth. The way the snow absorbs the noise, this quietness only this season can offer. How it focuses the senses (German: Sinne)  once again, to help us get back our consciousness (German: Besinnung). ;)!

Capture the Moment

vs living the moment.

If every moment could be the important one to capture and if one has to be in constant alertness to capture it (for eternity) in a photograph, the moment will lose and you will have lost your life.

Moreover if the moment is preserved and one can go back to it any time, it will be preserved  absolutely photo-realistically.

So tenses are a-changing, once the present was real and the past remembered, thus essentially unreal(istic) for only the important features are remembered and not even very accurately, nowadays it feels vice versa.

Strange even the tendency of digital photography to become hyperrealistic, there is no focus because everything is focused.

Look

Something else to go looking or hunting for is - at least in the Alps this year - is snow.

Never ever I have witnessed so little.

People cross-country skiing on literally green meadows...Weird! 

To the people making a living on tourism and not just in the Alps this is catastrophic.

Look

There are many things one might be looking for...

Inspiration for example ;)!

Or sometimes as my neighbour did, somebody's (in this case his wife's) good humour.

Precious

There's always the question whether to keep it hidden or show it...

Behold

...the quality of mercy

Behold
