Accidentally...
I passed a place where a woman was trying to climb outside through a window yesterday. Why shouldn't we just take the window every once in a while?! Taking concepts like doors too much for granted, can stop one see the possibilities ;).

Wie neu die Neue Welt war - How new the New World was
"Wenn heute eine Neue Welt entdeckt würde, wären wir dann wohl imstande, sie zu sehen? Wären wir fähig, all die Bilder aus unserem Kopf zu verbannen, die wir gewöhnlich mit der Erwartung einer anderen Welt (zum Beispiel aus der Science-fiction) verbinden, um die wirkliche Andersartigkeit zu erfassen, die sich unseren Augen darböte?" - aus Gesammelter Sand von Italo Calvino
Dies ist eine Frage, die mich im Moment sehr berührt: Wie offen sind wir dem Anderen gegenüber? Wie sehr lieben wir das Leben, in dem jeder Moment uns Welten unglaublichen Ausmaßes öffnen kann, Dinge, von denen wir nicht einmal zu träumen wagten? Ich liebe aus genau diesem Grunde das Leben unendlich: Für mich ist alles, aber auch alles mit einem Sinn erfüllt, hinter den wir aber noch nicht gekommen sind, der zu entdecken wäre.
"If we were to discover a New World today, would we be able to see (perceive) it? Would we be able to ban from our minds all those pictures that we usually connect with an expectation of an other world (e. g. in science fiction), in order to perceive its real otherness that is before our eyes?" - my translation from an excerpt from "Gesammelter Sand" by Italo Calvino
This is a question very close to my heart at the moment: How open are we towards the other? How much do we love a life that may present us with worlds of unbelievable dimensions at any given moment, things we wouldn't dare dreaming of? This is the very reason why I love life so very much: To me everything makes sense, but sometimes we haven't yet figured it out, we still have to discover it.

Respect - Reflect
Respectare - Reflectere
It always involves you, yourself. Look again, look back, see yourself in the mirror. Nowadays there are even more media to confront yourself.

Find of the Day
It's been quite a while - yet.
Today I discovered this photo - apparently me in 1985.
What really surprised me and almost gave me a shock is that I am now pondering about resemblances - firstly in a familial sense like those eyes reminding me of my father's and my younger daughter's. Yet it went beyond this, making me question if it is sometimes myself that I see in people that catch my attention.
