Trust

1. April 2011

„Trust is like an eraser–
It gets smaller and smaller
after every mistake.“

(Sofia, age 10, in a poetry workshop in Maryland)

Have no mean hours

3. Februar 2011

Have no mean hours , but be grateful for every hour, and accept what it brings. The reality will make any sincere record respectable. No day will have been wholly misspent, if one sincere, thoughtful page has been written. Let the daily tide leave some deposit on these pages, as it leaves sand and shells on the shore. So much increase of terra firma. this may be a calendar of the ebbs and flows of the soul; and on these sheets as a beach, the waves may cast up pearls and seaweed.


(Henry David Thoreau)

Das Leben

29. April 2008

Das Leben ist eine fortwährende Ablenkung, die nicht einmal zur Besinnung darüber kommt, wovon sie ablenkt.

(Franz Kafka)
