Manchmal wünsche ich mir
ein Haus mit Zauberwänden,
in das die Welt nicht dringt
mit ihrem seelenlosen Unverständnis,
wo ich nichts von ihr
sehe, höre, spüre,
wo ich allein bin
und mich ganz öffnen kann
dem Leben, das ich meine,
wo nichts mich behindert
und niemand mich stört,
wo jeder Atemzug mir gehört
und alles nach
meiner Willenlosigkeit geht.
Manchmal vergesse ich,
dass dieses Haus in mir steht.
(Hans Kruppa)

Später Gedanke
Meiner Unermüdlichkeit
bin ich auf einmal so müde
dass mir einfällt
ob du ihrer nicht schon lange
müde sein musst
(Erich Fried)

Time is tricky.
You have whole months,
even years,
when nothing changes a speck,
when you don't go anywhere
or do anything
or think one new thought.
And then you can get hit with a day,
or an hour,
or a half a second
when so much happens
its almost like you got
born all over again
into some brand-new person
you for damn sure
never expected to meet.
( E.R. Frank)

You know what’s really, powerfully sexy?
A sense of humor.
A taste for adventure.
A healthy glow.
Hips to grab on to.
Openness.
Confidence.
Humility.
Appetite.
Intuition.
Smart-ass comebacks.
Presence.
A quick wit.
A quick wit.
Dirty jokes told by an innocent-looking lady.
A storyteller.
A genius.
A doctor.
A new mother.
A woman who realizes how beautiful she is.
(Courtney E. Martin)
Das Glück finden
Dem Unabänderlichen
mit Gleichmut begegnen
und es nehmen
wie es kommt.
Dem Veränderlichen
mit Tatkraft begegnen,
damit es so kommt,
wie wir es nehmen wollen.
Und vor allem:
Sich täglich darin üben,
das eine vom anderen
zu unterscheiden.
(Jochen Mariss)

What I learned in life is,
That no matter how good a person is,
sometimes they can hurt you & because of this we must forgive.
It takes years to build trust and only seconds to destroy it ..
We don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change..
The circumstances and the environment influence on our lives,
but we are the one who responsible for ourselves..
That you have to control your acts or they will control you..
That patience requires much practice..
that there are people who love us,
that there are people who love us,
but simply don’t know how to show it..
That sometimes the person you think will hurt you and make you fall..
Is instead one of the few who will help you to get up..
You should never tell a child that dreams are fake,
it would be a tragedy if they knew..
it would be a tragedy if they knew..
It’s not always enough to be forgiven by someone,
in most cases you have to forgive yourself first..
That no matter in how many pieces your heart is broken,
the world doesn’t stop to fix it ..
the world doesn’t stop to fix it ..
May be God wants us to meet all the wrong people first
before meeting the right one..
before meeting the right one..
So when we finally meet the right one
we are grateful for that gift ..
we are grateful for that gift ..
When the door of happiness closes, another door opens..
but often we look so long at the closed one..
we don’t see what was open for us ..
we don’t see what was open for us ..
The best kind of a friend is the kind
in which you can sit on a porch and walk…
in which you can sit on a porch and walk…
Without saying a word & when you leave it feels
it was the best conversation you ever had.
it was the best conversation you ever had.
It’s true we don’t know what we have until we find it, but its also true,
we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives..
It only takes a minute to offend someone, an hour to like someone,
a day to love someone, but it takes a life time to forget someone.
Don’t look for appearances, they can be deceiving,
don’t go for wealth even that can fade,
don’t go for wealth even that can fade,
Find someone who makes you smile,
because it only takes a smile to make a day better,
because it only takes a smile to make a day better,
find what makes your heart smile..
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much..
that you wish you can take them out of your dream and hug them for real..
Dream what you want, go wherever you want to go..
because you have only one life..
because you have only one life..
and one change to do the things you want to do ..
The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything,
they just make the best of everything that comes their way.
The best future is based on the forgotten past..
You can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
(Paulo Coelho)
Glück und Unglück
Glück und Unglück,
die rasch uns und überwältigend treffen,
sind sich im Anfang,
wie Hitze und Frost bei jäher Berührung,
kaum unterscheidbar nah.
Wie Meteore
aus überirdischer Ferne geschleudert,
ziehen sie leuchtend und drohend die Bahn
über unseren Häuptern.
Heimgesuchte stehen betroffen
vor den Trümmern
ihres alltäglichen, glanzlosen Daseins.
Gross und erhaben,
zerstörend, bezwingend,
hält Glück und Unglück,
erbeten und unerbeten,
festlichen Einzug
bei den erschütterten Menschen,
schmückt und umkleidet
die Heimgesuchten
mit Ernst und mit Weihe.
Glück ist voll Schauer.
Unglück voll Süße.
Ungeschieden scheint aus dem Ewigen
eins und das andre zu kommen.
Groß und schrecklich ist beides.
Menschen, ferne und nahe,
laufen herbei und schauen
und gaffen
halb neidisch, halb schaudernd,
ins Ungeheure,
wo das Überirdische,
segnend zugleich und vernichtend,
zum verwirrenden, unentwirrbaren,
irdischen Schauspiel sich stellt.
Was ist Glück, was Unglück?
Erst die Zeit teilt beide.
Wenn das unfassbar erregende,
jähe Ereignis
sich zu ermüdend quälender Dauer wandelt,
wenn die langsam schleichende Stunde des Tages
erst des Unglücks wahre Gestalt uns enthüllt,
dann wenden die Meisten,
überdrüssig der Eintönigkeit
des altgewordenen Unglücks,
enttäuscht und gelangweilt sich ab.
Das ist die Stunde der Treue,
die Stunde der Mutter und der Geliebten,
die Stunde des Freundes und Bruders.
Treue verklärt alles Unglück
und hüllt es leise
in milden,
überirdischen Glanz.
(Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

On Approaching Forty
The thought pursues me through this dreary town
where the wind sweeps down from the high plateau
and where a diving chimney swift can cut
the slender thread of mountains far away.
So soon come forty years of restlessness,
of tedium, of unexpected joy,
quick as a gust of wind in March is quick
to scatter light and rain. Soon come delays,
snatched from the straining hands of those I love,
torn from my haunts, the customs of my years
suddenly crushed to make me understand.
The tree of sorrow shakes its branches...
The years rise like a swarm around my shoulders.
Nothing has been in vain. This is the work
which all complete together and alone,
the living and the dead, to penetrate
the impenetrable world, down open roads,
down mineshafts of discovery and loss,
and learned from many loves or only one,
from father down to son--till all is clear.
And having said this, I can start out now,
easy in the eternal company
of all things living, of all things dead,
to disappear in either dust or fire,
if any fire endures beyond its flame.
(Mario Luzi)

Unsaid
So much of what we live goes on inside–
The diaries of grief, the tongue-tied aches
Of unacknowledged love are no less real
For having passed unsaid. What we conceal
Is always more than what we dare confide.
Think of the letters that we write our dead.
(Dana Gioia)

Sprache
Halt mich in deinem Dienst
lebenslang
in dir will ich atmen
Ich dürste nach dir
trinke dich Wort für Wort
mein Quell
Dein zorniges Funkeln
Winterwort
Fliederfein
blühst du in mir
Frühlingswort
Ich folge dir
bis in den Schlaf
buchstabieren deine Träume
Wir verstehn uns aufs Wort
wir lieben einander
(Rose Ausländer)

Sometimes
Sometimes,
Memories are like the rain showers
Sprinkling down upon you
Catching you unaware.
Sometimes,
Memories are like thunderstorms
Beating down upon you
Relentness in their downpour
And then they will cease,
Leaving you tired and bruised.
Sometimes,
Memories are like shadows
Sneaking up behind you
Following you around
Then they disappear,
Leaving you sad and confused.
Sometimes,
Memories are like comforters
Surrounding you with warmth,
Luxuriously abundant,
And sometimes they stay,
Wrapping you in contentment.
(Marsha Updike)
