Glück ist...

...mit Menschen, die man liebt, Pläne zu schmieden. Gedankenreisen, Luftschlösser bauen... 

Und irgendwann früher oder später zusammen Realität schaffen. Oh ja!

The Pool of Tears
from the Night Circus

The sign outside this tent is accompanied by a small box full of smooth black stones. The text instructs you to take one with you as you enter.
Inside, the tent is dark, the ceiling covered with open black umbrellas, the curving handles hanging down like icicles.
In the center of the room there is a pool. A pond enclosed within a black stone wall that is surrounded by white gravel.
The air carries the salty tinge of the ocean.
You walk over to the edge to look inside. The gravel crunches beneath your feet.
It is shallow, but it is glowing. A shimmering, shifting light cascades up through the surface of the water.
A soft radiance, enough to illuminate the pool and the stones that sit at the bottom. Hundreds of stones, each identical to the one you hold in your hand.
The light beneath filthers through the spaces between the stones.
Reflections ripple around the room, making it appear as though the entire tent is underwater.
You sit on the wall, turning your black stone over and over in your fingers.
The stillness of the tent becomes a quiet melancholy.
Memories begin to creep forward from hidden corners of your mind. Passing disappointments. Lost chances and lost causes. Heartbreaks and pain and desolate, horrible loneliness.
Sorrows you thought long forgotten mingle with still-fresh wounds.
The stone feels heavier in your hand.
When you drop it in the pool to join the rest of the stones, you feel lighter. As though you have released something more than a smooth polished piece of rock.

Bloglove

(Ignite Light)

Schöne Bilder sind Balsam für die Seele und Inspiration für allerhand lebensverschönernder Massnahmen.

Der Tumblr Ignite Light ist eine absolute Lieblingsecke, um sich in hektischen Momenten mal eben fünf Minuten aus dem Stress auszuklinken... oder, um an einen kalten Wintersonntag gemütlich im Pyjama darin herumzustöbern und die Zeit grosszügig zu verprassen. Viel Spass!

Gedankenreise

Still, what I want in my life

is to be willing

to be dazzled –

to cast aside the weight of facts

and maybe even

to float a little

above this difficult world.

I want to believe I am looking

into the white fire of a great mystery.

I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing –

that the light is everything… And I do.
