About Me

If you want to surf my couch please put some thoughts in your request.

CURRENT MISSION

accepting limitations. Hehe, that's not so easy as it sounds...

ABOUT ME

I am a calm and relaxed person. I like the small things life, sitting on my terrace and hearing the birds, the whisteling of the leaves, watching the swallows, feeling the vibrations from the church bells (the church is very close and very loud, so you can actually feel the sound - amazing). I am active in our local transition group (Bonn im Wandel), am doing some urban gardening, working, being mother, and planning my future ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Das grosse Gebot so zu leben, als ob jeder Tag der letzte waer,
das ist mir viel zu schwer.
Das kriege ich nicht hin, weil ich dazu zu schissig bin.
Doch so vor mich hinvegetieren,
und zu tun als wuerde ich nie krepieren,
ist auch nicht klug, ist selbstbetrug,
und dazu bin ich nicht mehr Dumm genug.

Also hab' ich mir meine Gedanken gemacht,
ich hab' nachgedacht wie man's anders macht.
Zu leben probieren ohne es taeglich zu riskieren.
Und ich bin zu dem Schluss gekommen,
ich will mir das Leben goennen.
Ich will nur jeden Tag was erleben,
um mich an diesen Tag erinnern zu koennen.
