❣️...Stille Wunder

Stille Wunder,

die unbeobachtet geschehen,

mit denen sich aber das Leben

das Entfalten eines einzelnen Birkenblattes;

die Echtheit einer Frage

im Mund eines wissbegierigen Kindes;

die Erneuerung eines verölten Strandes,

den die Wellen mühsam reinwaschen;

die Stille, in der wichtige Gedanken

Gestalt annehmen und Veränderung vorbereiten.

Ich will der Hoffnung die Hand hinhalten,

sie füttern, sie pflegen,

sie fliegen lassen

in jede Ecke der Welt.

Ich liebe dieses Bild 💕

Economics 101 in college 40 years ago we learned that electricity is a secondary energy source, i.e. you need a PRiMARY source to create it…and no, this isn’t rocket science, it’s called common sense
