Sich selber begegnen… Mit den Augen kann man sich selber nicht als ganzes Sehen, höchstens einen Schatten oder eine Reflexion. Um sich selber zu begegnen, braucht es etwas anderes… etwas, das man in dem Leben eines Kindes entdecken kann. Offenheit, Neugier, Freude an Kleinigkeiten, unvoreingenommene Begegnung… Dazu lasse ich am liebsten ein Gedicht von Sonara sprechen:
Encounter with yourself… With the eyes one can not see self as a whole, only a shadow or a reflection. In order to really encounter with yourself, you need something else … something that can be found in a child’s way of life. Openness, curiosity, joy in small things, unbiased encounter … I prefer to let a poem by Sonara explain:
•-•-••-•-••-•-••-•-••-•-••-•-••-•-••-•-••-•-••-•-••-•-•
Be like the joyous child,
Living in the moment,
Delighting in the
Sunshine and blue sky.
Fully believe
In all that’s magical
And bright with hope
And possibilities.May each day be for you
What the dawn is
For a beautiful flower
Fresh with
The morning dew.Sonara

Yours truly
Beautiful poem and beautiful photo.
It’s true, we should look at life with childlike curiosity, as adults.
