Writer Between Worlds

Soulful writing about humans and places

Bun venit!

Welcome to soulful writing about humans and places.

This is where you get to read my thoughts. Or read what I’m reading.

I believe, with the great Michelangelo Buonarroti, that “two are the virtues a person should never lose: the courage to confront one’s own weaknesses and the strength to endure one’s own emotions.” So, feel. Think. Settle in the silence. Happiness is not a prize, it’s a challenge and a perpetual journey. You get up one morning and decide to make the journey worthwhile. But before you enter, please remember: Exposure to words carries risks. Words can pacify, demolish, or persuade. Cognition is built upon metaphors. Entire cosmogonies begin with one articulated phrase. There might be triggering content on this website. At the same time, please keep in mind that you are entering someone’s home. Someone’s heart. Someone’s inner forum. Please observe the house rules:

Come in peace.

Quote of the day

“<<Genau das ist es, was die Frauen nicht glauben, nicht verstehen, nicht wissen können>>, sagte er und schien zu den Sternen zu sprechen. <<Dass es eine Art von Mann gibt, der keine Liebe braucht. Der auch so leben kann.>>Er sprach ganz unpathetisch, zwar aus großer Entfernung, aber völlig natürlich. Ich wusste, dass er die Wahrheit…

Quote of the day

“Left hemisphere attention is sharply restricted in space and time (…). It tends towards precision, but at the expense of depth. It is no longer true to the expansive, always moving, always changing, endlessly interconnected nature of reality. One way of putting it is that the left hemisphere can provide some sorts of knowledge about…

Ce suntem?

(haiku-uri) seva se scurge pe hârtie, din anii noștri se aleg păstăi uscate, măturate de viscol în crevasele uitării, pagini ce hrănesc glodul umed din care, poate alte vrejuri vor țâșni către cer pline de bobi dulci-amari. vorbe crestatepe o scoarță desprinsăde vânt. pirogileîn care te veicuibări ca să pluteștispre depărtări tu.

Quote of the day – Die Sünde der Erfolgsgenügsamkeit

“Der Bau dieses Hauses war aber bei weitem nicht das Schwerste. Viel schwerer war es, die Menschen zu finden. (…) Ich nahm endlich solche Leute, die nicht Schreiner waren, und sich erst hier unterrichten sollten. Aber auch diese hatten, wie die früheren, eine Sünde, welche in Arbeitendenständen und auch wohl in anderen sehr häufig ist:…

About me

My inner mystic is plagued by insomnia and runs entirely on divine grace. The outer shell, however, does occasionally need: jasmine tea, ice cream (preferably salted caramel), good books, music, and new horizons.
