The feather OR The mystery of the world

I love it. I love it. I love it.
A puff freezed in a frame. A visible glimpse of lightness.

This pic is from Frog and the Well and reminds me of a few lines of an incredible book I could read again and again (and I do it). It's "Die Aufzeichnungen des Pudels Ali" ("Memories of the Poodle Ali") from Wolfdietrich Schnurre.
He says about the theme feather:
"...habe sie mit einem Seidenfaden an der Decke befestigt. Oh der Sensibilität, mit der sie nun jeden Lufthauch vermeldet!"
("...have it sticked on ceiling with a silk filament. Oh what a sensibility with which it displays every breath of air.")

What moves you?

Yesterday I went to Munich my first time. I haven't seen so much, because I visited the Tollwood-Festival in Olympia Park in the afternoon after Lunch in ...(one moment please, I forgot the name), photo tour in the Hofbräuhaus, walking in the Englischer Garten, drinking non alkoholic beer, and listen to a brass band that was sitting in the chinese tower.
To cut it short what I want to say is about this board I've found there. It's part of a small exhibition of famous personalities in reply to the question of 'What moves me'. Most interesting for me were the answers from the festival visitors. There you can find following answers for example:
- my legs
- music
- friendship
- Pia
- school is stupid
- environment
- humans
- catastrophes
- running
- to blade
- love
- summer
- the youth of today
- everything and nothing
- laugh
- absolutely nothing
- god
- mum
- solidarity

And what moves you?


 

Time for listening

I haven't anything to say any longer. I told you and me everything, which I've struggled for. I told my stories, that I told myself over and over again and I asked all my questions. By asking you as my invisible audience I was asking myself for real and I've got answers. This was the real essence of sunfleckr - a good working platform to find out a little bit more about me.

Now (that means from the beginning of this year) it's my time to listen. Everywhere I find springs of smart thoughts and (possibly more important) possibilities to express some people’s better running relationship to themselves in words. People create a new way to think - a new world of thinking, feeling and being. (Oh, now I'm afraid, it sounds too lofty... I hope not.)

Some people in my life are struggling with facebook and all the other social networks. With stuff like that we will running a risk to lose in artificial relationships, lost our last natural connection to reality and nature and health and give all of our personal dates to an unseen monopole to control us perfectly.

However, there is also so much positive action you can experience. It's incredible and gives hope. One example is "Frog and the well" on facebook. He is really wise and funny and I love his pictures and his point of view.

PS: Not everything changes of course. I'm still looking for sun spots and the little ordinary things in my environment. Still beeing astonished, but a little bit more thankful.

New thoughts

Conclusion of the day:
It's important to create new thoughts. Every very new thought stretches your consciousness.
It holds your mental fitness up, counteracts old automatisms and lay a new creativity open (and helps to continue a blog :-) ).
