When the going gets tough…

Von vorn…

~

Geht es einmal, geht’s auch nochmal

Geht es nochmal, geht’s auch von vorn

~

When you get the choice…

~

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

~

What you believe is your choice…

So each morning you look for a reason

Just to open your eyes

But if you don’t find one deep in you

You’ll never find it outside

~

Aristoteles

Wir sind, was wir immer wieder tun.

Ludwig Marcuse, Philosophie des Glücks

~

Mein Glück – das kann nur meine Schöpfung sein, die niemand mir abnehmen kann.

Wer aber auf das Glücklichsein verzichtet, erfüllt sein Dasein nicht. Denn Jeder ist – der Anlage nach: eine neue Variante des Glücks.

Neptune

What is reality anyway? Today science gives us surprisingly Neptunian descriptions. Solid materials disappear into quantum mysteries, implying a unity of connections only mystics can make sense of. Reality, the scientists tell us, is a flux, a multiplicity of possibilities, dependent on its observers. It is sourced in the relationship between seer and the seen. Theoretical physicists sound like Buddhists when they say an independent and objective world just doesn’t exist. If we revisit Neptune’s discovery chart from this perspective, Neptune’s conjunction to Saturn takes on new meaning. Perhaps it was Neptune gripping Saturn and shaking up Aquarius, demanding a holy merger of science and the sacred. Perhaps it was a visionary invitation for all of us to bring Neptune values like communion, compassion, imagination, into the center of our culture. Perhaps it was Neptune saying, “Drink up dreamers, you’re running dry.”
