I just came home from a quite long car ride (8 hours) and what I did miss the most was the sun. The entire day was wet and grey and dull. This is why I now need to send some colour and sun into the world. before I will go back to my photos from Portugal tomorrow.
Ich komme gerade von einer längeren Autofahrt (8 Stunden), und das, was ich am meisten vermisst habe war die Sonne. Der ganze Tag war nass, grau und trüb. Aus diesem Grund muss ich jetzt einfach etwas Farbe und Sonne in die Welt senden. bevor es dann morgen wieder zurück zu meinen Portugal Fotos geht.

After the rain, these tiny pearls were lined up on the edges of the roses. If you look closely, you can discover my house in multiple versions ;-) Unfortunately I cannot send you the fragrance – this rose smells sooo good.

Nach dem Regen hatten sich diese winzigen Perlen an den Kanten der Rosen aufgereiht. Wenn Ihr genau hinseht, könnt Ihr mein Haus in mehrfacher Ausführung entdecken ;-) Den Duft kann ich Euch leider nicht senden – diese Rose duftet sooo gut.

the secrets of my garden:
Sometimes you just get really lucky.
There is a light veil of haze over the forest in front of my vantage point on mt. small Winterberg in den Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Thin enough to still be able to see the trees clearly and dense enough to adequately diffuse the light of the rising sun. The sun appears punctually and in the perfect spot on the horizon to send its rays into the fog from behind. Finally, the trees are covered with a still delicate fresh green.
The result can be seen here. The whole forest begins to glow. A magical sight that left me with a feeling of deep gratitude.
The biggest problem I had at that point (if I may call it that) was deciding which section to photograph and which not to photograph. That's why it couldn't stop with this one here.
Manchmal hat man einfach absolutes Glück. Über dem Wald vor meinem Aussichtspunkt auf dem kleinen Winterberg im Elbsandsteingebirge liegt ein leichter Schleier aus Dunst. Dünn genug, um die Bäume noch deutlich sehen zu können und dicht genug, um das Licht der aufgehenden Sonne ausreichend zu streuen. Die Sonne erscheint pünklich und an der perfekten Stelle am Horizont um Ihre Strahlen von hinten in den Nebel zu senden. Schlußendlich sind die Bäume mit noch zartem frischen Grün bedeckt.
Das Ergebnis ist hier zu sehen. Der ganze Wald beginnt zu leuchten. Ein magischer Anblick, der in mir ein Gefühl tiefer Dankbarkeit zurück gelassen hat.
Das größte Problem, welches ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte (wenn ich es denn so nennen darf) war zu entscheiden, welchen Ausschnitt ich fotografiere und welchen nicht. Es ist deswegen nicht bei diesem einen hier geblieben.

The morning fog together with the rising sun over the forests of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains send me a message in the form of a bar code.
To my great regret, I am unable to decipher this code and so I can only stand there in awe at the sight and guess what the message could possibly mean.
It could be a simple "Good morning hiker" or a call for help (since there was a severe fire in the area recently, that would not be so improbable).
But maybe it was just an invitation to stop and really see. To see and feel the wonders that surround us every day. Appreciating them and preserving them and showing them to other people.
If that was the case, then I understood the assignment and gladly accepted it.
Der morgentliche Nebel zusammen mit der aufgehenden Sonne über den Wäldern des Elbsandsteingebirges senden mir eine Botschaft in Form eines Strichcodes.
Zu meinem großen Bedauern bin außer stande diesen Code zu entziffern und so bleibt mir nur dazustehen, diesen Anblick zu bestaunen und zu vermuten, was die Nachricht wohl bedeuten kann.
Es könnte ein schlichtes "Guten Morgen Wanderer" sein oder aber auch ein Hilferuf (Da es hier in der Gegend vor kurzem heftig gebrannt hat, wäre das garnicht so unwahrscheinlich).
Vielleicht war es jedoch auch einfach nur die Aufforderung inne zu halten und wirklich zu sehen. Zu sehen und zu fühlen, welche Wunder uns jeden Tag umgeben. Sie zu würdigen und zu bewahren und anderen Menschen zu zeigen.
Wenn das war, dann habe ich den Auftrag verstanden und nehme ihn gern an.

Liebe Flickr-Freunde,
leider fehlt mir momentan die Zeit, in gewohnter Weise aktiv zu sein und Zeit hier zu verbringen. Aus diesem Grunde möchte ich wenigstens einen Gruß senden und mitteilen, dass ich noch nicht aus der Welt bin ;-) Freue mich darauf, hoffentlich bald wieder ausreichend Gelegenheit zu haben, euren Fotos die Ehre zu erweisen, die sie verdient haben.
Dear Flickr friends,
Unfortunately, I currently don't have the time to be active in the usual way and to spend time here. For this reason I would like to at least send a greeting and say that I am not out of the world yet ;-) Looking forward to hopefully having enough opportunity again soon to give your photos the honor they deserve.
Aşk bir Mevsim — Pinhâni
It's too late, right time to go
But your eyes don't say goodbye
Your hands are still in my hands, your smell's still in my mind
There's no end for those farewells
This is not happening to me for the first time
I need a little time, wound is deep
I cried yesterday while you sleep
Secretly, quietly, inside
It'll be hard this time, obviously
Today is "after you"
Love is a season, it won't come again
Being alone doesn't scare me
This city gets to used it, surely gets used to your absence
Today is "after you"
Love is a season, it won't come again
Being alone doesn't scare me
This heart gets to used it, surely gets used to your absence
Maybe it was a dream, we were sleeping
But we loved dreams, we won't forget
In the country of people that pretending loved to much
We'll find a place to run away for sure
Today is "after you"
Love is a season, it won't come again
Being alone doesn't scare me
This city gets to used it, surely gets used to your absence
Today is "after you"
Love is a season, it won't come again
Being alone doesn't scare me
This heart gets to used it, surely gets used to your absence

Aşk bir mevsim
Çok geç olmuş, tam vakti gitmenin
Ama hoşça kal demiyor ki gözlerin
Ellerin elimde hala, kokun daha hafızamda
Sonu yok bu elveda deyişlerin
İlk defa olmuyor ki bu bana
Biraz zaman lazım, derin yara
Ağladım dün sen uyurken
Gizli gizli, sessiz, içimden
Bu sefer ağır gelecek, besbelli
Bugün günlerden senden sonra
Aşk bir mevsim, gelmez bir daha
Yalnız kalmak korkutmaz ki
Alışır bu şehir, alışır elbet yokluğuna
Bugün günlerden senden sonra
Aşk bir mevsim, gelmez bir daha
Yalnız kalmak korkutmaz ki
Alışır bu gönül, alışır elbet yokluğuna
Belki bir düş gördük, rüyadayız
Ama düşleri sevdik, unutmayız
Sanki çok sevmiş gibi yapanların ülkesinde
Kaçacak bi yer buluruz elbette
Bugün günlerden senden sonra
Aşk bir mevsim, gelmez bir daha
Yalnız kalmak korkutmaz ki
Alışır bu şehir, alışır elbet yokluğuna
Bugün günlerden senden sonra
Aşk bir mevsim, gelmez bir daha
Yalnız kalmak korkutmaz ki
Alışır bu gönül, alışır elbet yokluğuna
Bugün günlerden senden sonra
Alışır bu şehir, alışır elbet yokluğuna
Alışır bu şehir, alışır elbet yokluğuna
The Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media , the Bezirksregierung Münster , the German Foundation for Monument Protection and the municipality of Senden granted funding for the ongoing overall overhaul of the facility. At the Rombergtrakt and at the Mannenhaus, grave damage to the wooden construction is first repaired, and ground improvement or deep foundations are carried out with simultaneous stabilization of the foundations at the Mannenhaus. Through the use of volunteers from the Jugendbauhütte NRW-Westfalen, numerous important measures have been taken since 2016 in several project seminars.
A birthday song for Chandana
* To the birthday child Chandana* A German birthday song
I woke up early,
I've been doing some thinking:
What could it be today?
And that's when I thought of it:
Birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday we celebrate,
and all those who love you congratulate you.
Flowers, cakes, wreath of lights
and a dance of joy show you,
how happy we are,
if it sounds against you:
Birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday we celebrate,
and all those who love you congratulate you.
For the new year of life,
everyone wishes you far and near,
all the best and how today,
always a heart full of happiness.
Birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday we celebrate,
and all those who love you congratulate you dear Chandana! -
Dear Chandana, we sing this song very often when friends and family have a birthday, for example, and I also sang it with my students for a fellow student who had a birthday. Today I want to send you this song with a bouquet of roses to Sri Lanka.
I couldn't find anyone who wrote the lyrics and composed the melody on the internet.
Congratulations, many wonderful days for your new year and a great mountain of health I wish you.
Greetings, dear friend and have a great day! Your Magrit from Berlin
Ein Geburtstagsständchen für Chandana
* An das Geburtstagskind Chandana* Ein deutsches Geburtstaglied
Früh schon bin ich aufgewacht,
hab' ein wenig nachgedacht:
Was mag heute denn nur sein?
Und da fiel es mir gleich ein:
Geburtstag, Geburtstag, Geburtstag feiern wir,
und alle, die Dich lieben, gratulieren Dir.
Blumen, Kuchen, Lichterkranz
und dazu ein Freudentanz zeigen Dir,
wie froh wir sind,
wenn es Dir entgegen klingt:
Geburtstag, Geburtstag, Geburtstag feiern wir,
und alle, die Dich lieben, gratulieren Dir.
Für das neue Lebensjahr,
wünscht Dir jeder fern und nah,
alles Gute und wie heut',
stets ein Herz voll Fröhlichkeit.
Geburtstag, Geburtstag, Geburtstag feiern wir,
und alle, die Dich lieben gratulieren Dir liebe Chandana! -
Liebe Chandana, dieses Lied singen wir sehr oft, wenn zum Beispiel Freunde*innen und in Familie jemand Geburtstag hat .Ich habe es auch mit meinen Schülern für einen Mitschüler, der Geburtstag hatte, gesungen. Heute möchte ich Dir dieses Lied mit einem Rosenstrauss nach Sri Lanka senden.
Wer den Text geschrieben und die Melodie komponiert konnte ich auch im Internet nicht finden.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, viele wunderbare Tage für Deinneues Jahr und einen großen Berg Gesundheit wünsche ich Dir.
Liebe Grüße, liebe Freund und verlebe einen superschönen Tag! Deine Magrit

This is the backside of Schloss Senden and pretty rear-end it has, there is a walking trail that follows around the moat and connects to various park trails offering many beautiful views of the castle.
The municipal government around Senden Castle was initially not too interested in repairing the castle in its dilapidated state as a study commissioned in 2007 reported that the commercial value of the property was one half million Euro but the repair costs would be between six and nine million Euro.
In 2015 seven citizens formed a non-profit called “Friends of Schloss Send” who acquired the building and have been working to restore it fully ever since through petitions to local, state and federal governments for financial aid and an army of volunteers to help realize their dream of restoration and community use.

Seen in explore: 27.07.2009
Sowohl Sonnenaufgänge als auch Sonnenuntergänge zählen auf der Bastei zu den beeindruckendsten Naturschauspielen. Besonders faszinierend ist das Zusammenspiel der Wolken, die den Horizont aufbrechen und der Sonne die Möglichkeit geben, ein beeindruckendes Farbenspiel ins Tal zu senden.
Ein Blick in die Tiefe lohnt sich – vor allem an der Stelle, an der die Elbe eine Kurve nimmt. Hier entfaltet das Licht eine geradezu magische Wirkung.
Ich freue mich auf Eure Meinungen und Anregungen!

Both sunrises and sunsets are among the most impressive natural spectacles at the Bastei. Particularly fascinating is the interplay of clouds breaking up the horizon, allowing the sun to cast a stunning play of colors into the valley.
It's worth taking a look down below – especially at the point where the Elbe River bends. Here, the light unfolds a truly magical effect.
I look forward to your opinions and suggestions!

Smile on Saturday: THINGS WITH WINGS
Schloss Senden, is a place with centuries of history. The manor house with its typical three-tiered Münsterland gables was built in the second half of the 15. Century. The association Schloss Senden revived the 2015 castle after it had decayed more and more in the years before. The extensive green spaces and the castle park embedded in the nature are located directly on the Stever
Ein Freitags- und Frühlings-anfangs-blümchen will ich euch heute senden - der Sonnenfinsternis zum Trotz. シ
The brother Sanders II, Bernd Droste zu Senden, married in 1481 the heiress Anna von Heiden to Beck (1462-1492) and established the line of the Droste to Beck at Beck Castle . Sander III. Droste zu Senden was entrusted with the Gogericht zu Senden in 1510 by the mayor and council of the city of Münster, and in 1519 he was elected by the provincial authorities as the executor of the state association. 1587 is reported by the pillage and plundering of the village and the house sending by the "Hispanic" during the Spanish-Dutch Eighty Years War .
By inheritances 1680 good Patzlar and 1713 good Isingholt were added, 1729 good Venhaus by purchase. [1]
The castle was occupied by British soldiers during the Second World War, partly devastated and plundered. In 1957 it sold the baronial family Droste zu Senden , which, however, to this day holds the associated estate and the Senden'schen Hof in Münster; new residence was the nearby forester Wulfshoek.
The purchaser of the castle operated there first a commercial school board, then a retirement pension and finally since the 1980s until the late 1990s, a hotel, which was closed after a fire in the attic. Thereafter, the building was largely empty and housed only the sculptor courses of the Art School Send. D
Close together throughout the new year, my friends.
Let's have fun and friendship here in the stream, admire the captures from all over the world and send out peace with them.

Eng zusammen durch das neue Jahr, meine Flickr-Freunde.
Laßt uns hier im stream Spaß und Freundschaft haben. Bewundern wir Fotos aus aller Welt und senden mit ihnen Frieden aus.
Long time exposure at a weir near Senden, at the river Iller. The water level of the river was so low at that time that I was able to take this photo from a gravel bank which is usually under water.
I used two stacked ND filters ND64 and ND8.
Schloss Senden is pictured here in its sedate beauty, this serene setting has been the scene of countless feuds for over half a millennium of its existence with in fighting between the family lines of the Von Sendens.
The Droste zu Senden family an offshoot of the Senden family had owned the castle since the 14th century and sold it off due to its ailing state in 1957after 500 years of continuous ownership.
The developer that purchased the castle tried various endeavors to start a business out of the Schloss but was unsuccessful at all of them and abandoned the effort in the early eighties leaving the castle to fall in on its self.
The Castle was well on its way to becoming a forgotten place and sinking slowly into ruin when a group of seven citizens formed a preservation society and have been since leading the charge to restore and reclaim some functionality for the castle in the community.

With this photo of a wintry sunrise (without snow this time) near the town of Tisá in the Bohemian part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, I wish you all a wonderful 4th Adent with a big load of Christmas atmosphere (even without snow).
At the same time, I wholeheartedly dedicate this photo to those of You who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to experience the Christmas season with full joy.
Be it because you work in a job that requires your commitment even during the holidays (and nights) or because personal challenges demand too much attention.
Or maybe you are in a phase of life where there are only a few people around you with whom you can share these moments.
Or are you currently confronted with health challenges that you or important people in your life are struggling with.
Not to forget those of you who have to fight the consequences of poverty, hunger, war and displacement every day.
I would like to send these rays of sunshine to all of you, which should penetrate the thicket and lighten the shadows a little.
I send you my thoughts, my love and the confidence that the light always finds a way.
Mit diesem Foto von einem winterlichen Sonnenaufgang (ohne Schnee dieses Mal) in der Nähe der Stadt Tisá im böhmischen Teil des Elbsandsteingebirges, wünsche ich Euch allen einen wunderschönen 4. Adent mit einer großen Ladung weihnachtlicher Atmosphäre (auch ohne Schnee).
Gleichzeitig widme ich dieses Foto von ganzem Herzen denen unter Euch, denen es aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen nicht möglich ist, die Weihnachtszeit mit uneingeschränkter Freude zu erleben.
Sei es, weil ihr in einem Beruf tätig seid, der Euren Einsatz auch während der Feiertage (und -nächte) verlangt oder persönliche Herausforderungen gerade zu viel Aufmerksamkeit einfordern.
Oder vielleicht seid Ihr auch in einer Lebensphase, wo es nur wenige Menschen in Eurem Umfeld gibt, mit denen Ihr diese Momente teilen könnt.
Oder seid Ihr gerade mit gesundheitlichen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, mit denen Ihr selbst oder wichtige Menschen in Eurem Leben zu kämpfen haben.
Nicht zu vergessen die unter Euch, die tagtäglich im Kampf mit den Folgen von Armut, Hunger, Krieg und Vertreibung bestehen müssen.
Euch allen möchte ich diese Sonnenstrahlen senden, die das Dickicht durchdringen und die Schatten ein wenig aufhellen sollen.
Ich sende Euch meine Gedanken, meine Liebe und die Zuversicht, dass das Licht immer einen Weg findet.

„Kathedralenlicht“ ist eine nächtliche Langzeitaufnahme des Kölner Doms und der Hohenzollernbrücke, aufgenommen vom Rheinufer aus.
Das zentrale Motiv ist der monumentale Dom, dessen gotische Architektur durch gezielte Beleuchtung klar hervorgehoben wird. Die Brücke rechts im Bild bildet mit ihren Stahlbögen einen Kontrast zwischen sakraler Vertikale und industrieller Horizontale.
Die Lichtspuren eines vorbeifahrenden Schiffs auf dem Rhein erzeugen eine dynamische, fast abstrakte Ebene, die die Statik der Bauwerke durchbricht. Die Spiegelungen im Wasser sorgen für Tiefe und Atmosphäre.
Das Bild verbindet Historie, Urbanität und Ästhetik in einem Moment: Köln als Schnittstelle zwischen Tradition und Moderne, dargestellt durch Licht und Struktur.
Wie immer lade ich Euch gerne um es zu komentieren und Anregungen senden.
“Cathedral Light” is a nighttime long-exposure photograph of Cologne Cathedral and the Hohenzollern Bridge, taken from the banks of the Rhine.
The central subject is the monumental cathedral, whose Gothic architecture is accentuated by carefully directed lighting. The bridge on the right, with its steel arches, forms a contrast between sacred verticality and industrial horizontality.
The light trails of a passing boat on the Rhine create a dynamic, almost abstract layer that breaks through the static presence of the architectural structures. Reflections in the water add depth and atmosphere.
The image captures a moment where history, urbanity, and aesthetics converge: Cologne as an intersection between tradition and modernity, expressed through light and structure.
Please note that some comments and instructions will be sent.
Die Sonne gab gen Abend nochmal alles und es wurde dieses Bild direkt südlich von Senden möglich. Glück in Doppeltem Sinne, denn der Zug endete vorzeitig wegen einer Stellwerksstörung in Senden, also rund 700 Meter hinter dem Fotopunkt...
Gruß und Dank an die Organisatoren und alle getroffenen Fotografen, insbesondere die Truppe, die mein Auto wachgehalten hat :D
Well then, I'd like to send you a sign of life and, at the same time, an answer to the question of where I am currently traveling.
From the photo, it might be difficult to pinpoint the exact location, so I'll tell you.
We are here in the park of Moschen Castle in Poland, the first stop on my little tour. The castle (which now houses a 4-star hotel) was my original destination. But it turned out to be far less photogenic than I imagined.
Fortunately, the complex includes a large and beautiful park, where I spent most of my time. Nature, after all, is fitting better to my personality than architecture.
Na dann will ich Euch mal ein Lebenszeichen und gleichzeitig auch eine Antwort auf die Frage senden, wo ich denn eigentlich gerade unterwegs bin.
Vom Foto her dürfte es schwer sein einen genauen Ort auszumachen, darum verrate ich es Euch.
Wir befinden uns hier im Park vom Schloss Moschen in Polen, der ersten Etappe meiner kleinen Tour. Das Schloss (was heute ein 4-Sterne Hotel beherbert, war mein eigentliches Ziel. Doch es entpuppte sich als weit weniger fotogen, als ich es mir vorgestellt habe.
Zum Glück gehört zu der Anlage ein großer und wunderschönder Park, in dem ich dann die meiste Zeit verbracht habe. Natur entspricht ja sowie eher meinem Naturell als Architektur.
Stufen
Wie jede Blüte welkt und jede Jugend
Dem Alter weicht, blüht jede Lebensstufe,
Blüht jede Weisheit auch und jede Tugend
Zu ihrer Zeit und darf nicht ewig dauern.
Es muß das Herz bei jedem Lebensrufe
Bereit zum Abschied sein und Neubeginne,
Um sich in Tapferkeit und ohne Trauern
In andre, neue Bindungen zu geben.
Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne,
Der uns beschützt und der uns hilft, zu leben.
Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten,
An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen,
Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen,
Er will uns Stuf´ um Stufe heben, weiten.
Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise
Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen;
Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise,
Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen.
Es wird vielleicht auch noch die Todesstunde
Uns neuen Räumen jung entgegen senden,
Des Lebens Ruf an uns wird niemals enden,
Wohlan denn, Herz, nimm Abschied und gesunde!
Phases
As every flower wilts and youth
gives way to age, so unfolds every phase,
all the wisdom and virtue
when it so does - and know that none lasts forever.
With every call of life, the heart
must be ready to part and start
again, in courage and joy,
surrendering to new, otherly liasons, as
In the core of every beginning lives magic
Magic that protects us and helps us live.
We are to stride along spaces, joyously,
clinging to none as thought it was home
the world soul does not seek to fetter and confine us;
phase after phase it wants to elevate and expand us.
slumber grows threatening as soon as we,
immersed in coziness, become used
to a cycle in our lives -
Only those ready to part, depart
may rid themselves of paralyzing habits.
Perhaps, as the call of life in us finds no end,
at the hour of our death we are still
to be faced with novel spaces. walk on then,
be off, be well!,
oh sweet heart of our
(Hermann Hesse) (lyricline.org.)
Perhaps my favorite castle on this tour is the one pictured here, Schloss Senden a more homely castle you will never find, held together by the good thoughts and the deeds of the local populace.
Built in the mid to late 15th century the schloss has seen it share of abuse throughout the centuries from being burned by the Spanish in the 80 years’ war to being ransacked and partially destroyed by the British during the Second World War.
Its recent history has seen its use as an old age home, boarding school and hotel/pension all of which failed miserably and the last occupation of a hotel for the castle saw the roof collapse due to fire.
The locals since 2007 have been trying to preserve this charming old place and find use for its preservation despite the owner threatening to demolish the place in 2014.
The Schloss cooperative and preservation society were spurred to action with the threat of demolition and purchased the castle during this turbulent period.
Today there is still much structural work that needs to be done but this old girl has become a favorite stop for bicyclists along the 100 Schloss route and much enjoyed by the locals during weekends surrounded by bike paths and walkways..

Hello everyone who stayed at home !
We are sending you a postcard from our holiday in Schladming. There are lots of high mountains and wooden houses. We are staying in one of these wooden houses.
Love and greetings,

PS: Bärbel thinks I still have to write that Schladming is in Styria in Austria - as if you didn't know that ...
The "Initiative Schloss Senden" tried from 2007 to find through various activities, a new use for the castle complex and to protect the building from further decline. A report commissioned by the municipality of Senden revealed that, with a market value of half a million euros, renovation costs of between six and nine million euros have been recovered. However, the political community repeatedly rejected a financial commitment. After the owner in 2014 even threatened with a demolition of the monument, it came to founding the non-profit Friends of Schloss Send , who acquired the property and early 2015, first the building fabric by roofing and glazing secured.

Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen, Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise,
Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen.
Es wird vielleicht auch noch die Todesstunde
Uns neuen Räumen jung entgegen senden,
Des Lebens Ruf an uns wird niemals enden ... Wohlan denn, Herz, nimm Abschied und gesunde!
Hermann Hesse, aus dem Buch „Das Glasperlenspiel“

Steps
As every blossom withers and every youth
Gives way to age, every stage of life blossoms, Every wisdom also and every virtue Blossoms in its time and must not last forever.
With every call of life the heart must be ready to part and begin anew, To bravely and without mourning
To enter into other, new bonds.
And in every beginning there is a magic that protects us and helps us to live.
We want to pass cheerfully through room after room, clinging to none as to a home,
The spirit of the world does not want to tie us down and constrict us,
It wants to lift us step by step, to widen us.
No sooner are we at home in a circle of life, And settled in comfortably, then slackness threatens, Only those who are ready for departure and journey,
May break from paralysing habituation.
Perhaps even the hour of death
Will send us young towards new spaces,
Life's call to us will never end... Well then, heart, take leave and be well!
Hermann Hesse, from the book "The Glass Bead Game
