Mantra

Neues Layout als ein Zeichen der Veränderung

Morgen den ganzen Tag auf einem Seminar.
eine Neuformulierung eines Popsongs:

Lernen is an energy, lernen is a mystery
Lernen is meant to be true
Lernen is a part of me, lernen is the heart of me
Lernen is the best thing we do

so.

Frei Tag

Lernen stinkt.

Google Chrome ist cool. 

No drama

it was just a teambilding training on the last weekend :)

Chance meeting

I tried to make my steps bigger in order to come dead on time. I was in a hurry. Not such a classical rush. My human being has its personal views on to be "in time". Nevertheless I went fast.

When I walk purposeless, listening to sounds of treading upon yellow withered leaves is my favourite pastime. And when nobody's around I allow myself to play with them. For a short moment I kick them in air.

But not yesterday. I run along the small park with a pond full of ducks. Through my head run thousand ideas and thoughts and there was no wish to explore an ambience. I was fully taken up with my problems.

Suddenly I saw a little girl in a green bound beanie making her way to me. She was 3 or 4 years old, not more. Blond curls came out of the beanie. I looked around to find out, with whom she came here. On the bench there were two talking women. "Okay, not lost".
She neared me und asked: "Wie heisst du?". Talking to children is always a great challenge for me, cause they speak mostly not so clearly and use simple words that I´ve never learned before (like jumping jack...well, their daily vocabulary).
I answered slowly trying to spell my not european name as far as possible clearly. A little girl looked at me and headed her mom. I smiled and went away.
Then I heard someone calling "Aika!" Turned I saw the girl calling me "Aika" and giving me a cheer wave.

aika...mmm...aika.

Liebe und andere Verbrechen

Am Strande von Marie Luisa Kaschnitz

Heute sah ich wieder dich am Strand
Schaum der Wellen dir zu Füßen trieb
Mit dem Finger grubst du in den Sand
Zeichen ein, von denen keines blieb.


Ganz versunken warst du in dein Spiel
Mit der ewigen Vergänglichkeit
Welle kam und Stern und Kreis zerfiel
Welle ging und du warst neu bereit.


Lachend hast du dich zu mir gewandt
Ahntest nicht den Schmerz, den ich erfuhr:
Denn die schönste Welle zog zum Strand
Und sie löschte deiner Füße Spur.

Brüssels Impressionen

An einem Abend in Brüssel haben wir eine interessante Ecke entdeckt.

nennt man das - energisch aktive Punkte? Nach einem näheren Kennenlernen mit dem Leben des Herzen Europas (unter uns "die Stadt der grauen Männer) haben wir versucht, intensiver den Punkt Nr. 2 massagieren:
