Dear Jeeje,It is really nice to rea

Dear Jeeje,

It is really nice to read your words again. Some day soon I hope I also can meet you personally. It was a busy week for me at work. Yesterday there still was a company party with hundreds of colleagues. The food and the live music was good. But I ate too much :)

Today I cut my hair and did household work. Just a relaxing day at home. I attached some photos of today.

I wish we wouldn't live so far from each other. Living alone, I try to live my life in a way how I think it is right for me, independently of all the catastrophes in other parts of the world, so that I can find my personal freedom and happiness. Of course not everything is always perfect and as everybody else I need an anchor in my life. In my case, I often found this anchorage in nature. To look for harborage is a natural impulse for us. We just should be careful not to look at the wrong place where this impulse for a safe harbor could be taken advantage of.

Actually I am striving to find this harbor somehow, where I can find security, contentment, love… I think love is a feeling where one thing leads to another. Many small things build an ensemble: To trust each other, talk a lot and listen to each other, help each other, experience nice things together, take yourself not so important anymore with the happiness of your love being more important… also disagreement belong to love, but only in a small scale. “Love is the attempt of nature to take sanity away”, Konrad Lorenz, a famous ethologist, once said :) In a way it is true, whereas I on the other hand and with my scientific way of thinking would say, love is the unconscious urge of the individual to completeness. My experience is, that love expresses in a way that you want to be one with the partner, to merge…

To this topic a poem comes to my mind. It is from Christian Morgenstern.

In English it would be like this:


“It is night and my heart comes to you… can’t bear it anymore… to be only with me. Lays itself on your chest like a stone… sinks in… to your heart. Only there… there it can rest, where it lays at the bottom of its everlasting thyself”

Beautiful, isn’t it? When I have this feeling I can honestly say that I really love…

It's nice to know you, Jeeje

Hugs,

Jörg
