Hilarious

If your mind gets boggled  because the other person says something quite incoherent - at least it would seem to you and any normal person for that - yet you realize that it is meant seriously. But the other person also notices that it must seem pretty strange. Then both of you laugh and share a wonderful mystery.

Full of Doubt

yet also full of faith

one enamoured by the other

Containment

in demand today


the jester


spreading hope but never being in denial


ever so clear and perceptive


balance

Life Goes On

Just heard the cuckoo for the first time this year, though my neighbour tells me she had already heard it some days ago early in the morning, but then this is not actually my time...

Charged

yet there has to be balance

The Bubble Reputation

no scratch will stop the itching

To the Wonder

They say miracles are past, and we have our philosophical persons, to make
modern and familiar, things supernatural and causeless. Hence is it that we make
trifles of terrors, ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge, when we should
submit ourselves to an unknown fear. - All's Well that Ends Well, William Shakespeare

Islands

No man is an island entire of itself; 

every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;

if a clod be washes away by the sea, Europe 

is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as

well as any manner of thy friends or of thine

own were; any man's death diminishes me,

because I'm involved in mankind. 

John Donne

Healing Powers

The nurses in Aachen were raving about the African mothers who would visit their sick children constantly clapping. Both, they and the children, were soothed by it.


sociability

Confusion

liberty shouldn't be something that depends on some outer state

liberty is a state of mind

and it is certainly not something that should make you scorn sociability or the concept of a state

voluntary - voluntarius, of one's own free will; voluntas, will

Catch Up

you won't unless you simply let it happen

there are qualities that vanish once they are centred

Wonder

the light gets in

crack

Fancy

all the skills wishing to break free


delegating while others had all the fun


time to discover

Our Darkness

or rather some older catching up with us

"I don't ever want to play the part of a statistic on a government chart" - The Police, Invisible Sun

How Could it Ever Suit

essential

genial

poignant

Zuneigung

zuneigen ... to bend to

Zuneigung ... affection


bent but not broken

Choices

Remembering an argument from way back about animals and ethics, my strong view that words like malicious could never apply to an animal because as far as we know it does not have the capacity to reason about its own behaviour. All it does or doesn't do only has the one aim of survival. Only mankind has the capibility to be truly and thoroughly evil,








or its opposite, good.


Thank the apple.

Touché

the warm body

At Dawn

being just might be, but living is not convenient
 

as  meaning was dawning

Survival

try a little harder


spin the yarn just a little bit stronger to throw the lifeline

Naturally?

What are you doing? - Just being.

evolving

revolting

Imagination

the mystery celebrated is there for everybody to see

So Happy

that I cry

if I witness people daring to jump or to take a ride in a roller coaster; or if somebody suffering from Asperger's confiding his emotions to somebody else.


freedom is near

Wagnis - Peril

entangled with confidence

just be true and personally dare to bear the consequences

Transformation

It definitely is complicated, but then it's also more alive. Probably I could never settle for the mere being or ontology deep in my heart.

So there is no magic, no shamanism, only hopeful transformation on a personal level, certainly always an effort on both sides.




Gotta love 😊

Halt

the limitation is stopping the boundless

breathe for once

Paradox

No better time than now to live it, quite socially but then again not so close, though it is exactly the time one would love to normally

"when you talk so little and say so much"

Curiosity

With your curious eye gazing at me moving closer. Then feeling far too bold retreating in disarray until curiosity again gets the better of you.

all the best to you and your two cousins

With a Smile

the amiable imperfection attacking the repulsive brilliance of perfection


endurance

O My Goodness

this strange certainty that people are intrinsically good

shared by Adrian and exposed by Shakespeare
