Hello and Happy Friday!
I am thankful for great friends. I don’t have too many which is fine; but the ones I do have I love to spend time with. These are friends I can learn something from, the ones who inspire me, the ones who listen to what I have to say, the ones I can be the way I am without putting on a mask and the ones I love to listen to. Friendships shift as we develop but the real friends stay no matter what. With real friends conversations don’t need to have depth all the time but I want to be able to talk about something serious as points. To laugh together and being silly without alcohol is a good thing, too. Or with alcohol. Or with coffee. I also keep in mind that with time and life changes my friendships have changed and become more redefined. I needed to disconnect from some people and reconnect with others. This is how life goes. And it is all okay. I just want to say Thank you to my friends out there without writing out names! The ones I am talking about here know! This is what I have been up to during the week if you would love to read. Have a great weekend!
Reading: I finished The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. What an amazing book. Book review will follow. Highly recommended! Currently I am reading Jed McKenna’s Spiritual Enlightenment, Part One. This is not an easy read and it takes time to really grasp all of it. I highlight a lot and even copied a bunch of paragraphs so far and wrote them in my journal. Thought-provoking!
Watching: This!
“What is it that makes us human? Is it that we love, that we fight ? That we laugh ? Cry ? Our curiosity ? The quest for discovery ? Driven by these questions, filmmaker and artist Yann Arthus-Bertrand spent three years collecting real-life stories from 2,000 women and men in 60 countries. Working with a dedicated team of translators, journalists and cameramen, Yann captures deeply personal and emotional accounts of topics that unite us all; struggles with poverty, war, homophobia, and the future of our planet mixed with moments of love and happiness.”
Also, I found the movie to The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. It is fantastic and …. lonely!
Enjoying: Sushi at this place! And of course great conversations with Ronia, my husband’s messages, my son, my parents, Ronia die Räubertochter, Fame Cocktailbar in Coburg [Try the Strawberry Daiquiri!!!]
Discovering/Learning:
Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road,
not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and wisdom,
life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple,
in itself an ecstasy.
Too lazy to be ambitious, I let the world take care of itself. Ten days worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace. Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment? Listening to the night rain on my roof, I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.
Looking forward to: Traveling soon! I cannot wait. The world is so awesome. I need ocean and sun! There is so much to discover and see. Now is the time. Or maybe it is all just a dream.
What have you been up to? What are your plans for the weekend?
