Against the Wind

„The years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone. Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends. I found myself further and further from my home, and I guess I lost my way. There were oh-so many roads. I was living to run and running to live. Breaking all of the rules that would bend. I began to find myself searching. Searching for shelter again and again.“

Bob Seger & me
Baden-Baden, 2022.

Lebensfröhlichkeit beginnt vielleicht mit Akzeptanz und endet möglicherweise damit Schönheit in allem zu sehen. Irgendwie ist sie auch die Mischung aus allem, egal wo man beginnt und endet.

„I toast you!“

Humboldt Forum. Berlin.

May you have auspiciousness and causes of success May you have the confidence to always do your best May it take no effort in your being generous Sharing what you can, nothing more, nothing less

May you know the meaning of the word happiness May you always lead from the beating in your chest May you be treated like an esteemed guest May you get to rest, may you catch your breath

And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows May the road less paved be the road that you follow.

Well here’s to the hearts that you’re gonna break Here’s to the lives that you’re gonna change Here’s to the infinite possible ways to love you I want you to have it

Here’s to the good times we’re gonna have You don’t need money, you’ve got a free pass Here’s to the fact that I’ll be sad without you I want you to have it all.

May you be as fascinating as the slap bracelet May you keep the chaos and the clutter off your desk May you have unquestionable health and less stress Having no possessions, though immeasurable wealth

May you get a gold star on your next test May your educated guesses always be correct And may you win prizes, shining like diamonds May you really own it each moment to the next

I want you to have it all All you can imagine No matter what your path is If you believe it, then anything can happen Go, go, go, raise your glasses Go, go, go, you can have it all I toast you!

(Jason Mraz. Have it all.)

Ob wir an einem Ort bleiben – oder wohin immer auch unser Herz uns ziehen mag, liegt wohl letztendlich nur den Menschen die uns umgeben, der Liebe und den beruflichen Möglichkeiten – der Möglichkeit der Verwirklichung unseres Potenzials – zugrunde.

I want you to have it all. I want me to have it all.
