Dear friends,

thank you so much for the lovely comments and congratulations. We celebrate at the moment with a wonderful glas of red wine

a new year of wisdom.... 

We had a fantastic first day in Berlin.

More from Berlin will follow the next days. It´s an important place of German history and our capital city.

We actual only have to replace our leaders...

Dear Lynne, Ron and Hubby,

you´ve written such great words in our blog a few days ago and we are so thankful about that.

Well, pictures show sometimes situations and things we´ve forgotten. If we take the time to feel the spirit of landscapes, animals, situations

we learn again outside of our normal day life how simple life can be and what is really important in life.

There are so many things which are not really important but we need a long time to learn this.

A long time in life I lived the most time for business and careers. But since I know Angelica

my life changed and now I`m really happy and I know what really counts.

We are so thankful to know friends like you.

Let´s enjoy our life and open the eyes and our heart fot the things

in our life which really counts

because we have only the one life ....

and don´t let us forget one thing:

"The language is the house of Being"

We are living in a fast living time and the art is to find the moments for the things which really counts.

When we look at the current situation of the world there are a lot of problems.

-

The religion is being used to foment hatred and to start wars, rather than unite peoples and establish peace ...

Terrorists like Osama bin Laden are paid by countries to foment unrest and wars

Most politicians are corrupt and only interested in power, rather than to seek their task for the welfare of their people to take care of.
It is a time without personality, values and character.
All the more important it is that we are steadfast in our belief in freedom, justice, brotherhood, love and peace and remain a better world and stand together friends close.

Hugs from me(Joerg) and Geli(the best thing which ever happens in my life!)

Evening Star by William Blake

Thou fair hair'd angel of the evening,
Now, while the sun rests on the mountains light,
Thy bright torch of love; Thy radiant crown
Put on, and smile upon our evening bed!
Smile on our loves; and when thou drawest the
Blue curtains, scatter thy silver dew
On every flower that shuts its sweet eyes
In timely sleep. Let thy west wind sleep on
The lake; speak silence with thy glimmering eyes
And wash the dusk with silver. Soon, full, soon,
Dost thou withdraw; Then, the wolf rages wide,
And the lion glares thro' the dun forest.
The fleece of our flocks are covered with
Thy sacred dew; Protect them with thine influence.

Stars and the Soul by Henry Van Dyke

Two things," the wise man said, "fill me with awe:
The starry heavens and the moral law."
Nay, add another wonder to thy roll, --
The living marvel of the human soul!
Born in the dust and cradled in the dark,
It feels the fire of an immortal spark,
And learns to read, with patient, searching eyes,
The splendid secret of the unconscious skies.
For God thought Light before He spoke the word;
The darkness understood not, though it heard:
But man looks up to where the planets swim,
And thinks God's thoughts of glory after Him.
What knows the star that guides the sailor's way,
Or lights the lover's bower with liquid ray,
Of toil and passion, danger and distress,
Brave hope, true love, and utter faithfulness?
But human hearts that suffer good and ill,
And hold to virtue with a loyal will,
Adorn the law that rules our mortal strife
With star-surpassing victories of life.
So take our thanks, dear reader of the skies,
Devout astronomer, most humbly wise,
For lessons brighter than the stars can give,
And inward light that helps us all to live.
The world has brought the laurel-leaves to crown
The star-discoverer's name with high renown;
Accept the flower of love we lay with these
For influence sweeter than the Pleiades!
