Quote: "There is a legend, that fallen knights return as great horses." King Arthur (Movie)Isn`t this a nice thought? Being reborn as something great? I think the thought of being reborn in generell is a nice idea. Well, I was educated in the christian way , I even went to an evangelic school; but I read about Buddhism and the whole reincarnation-belief and I think it isn't wrong to believe in it. I think you can combine several religions, take the best ideas of everyone. I like the peaceful way and the controlling yourself through mediation of the Buddhism. It is something you can reach through patience and long practice of clearing your mind. But the most thing I like about the Buddhism and the current Dalai Lama is his tolerance towards other religions and science. He doesn't see a contradiction when the scientists proof something that confute a myth or something the Buddhists believe in. He is willing to rethink it, but he still finds a way to believe in his religion. Isn't the thought nice, that a part of the soul from a dead being will be reborn in something new? Even if it is a tree or a horse? Some people think that the idea is dumb or even the people who believe in it. There can't be someone old in someone new. But what is to say against he thought? You see a part from someone you loved in someone else? Maybe it isn't true, but isn't the idea the main point? The thought that it could be true can give you hope. Have you ever seen "little Buddha" with Keanu Reeves? There it is the same topic.I have never meet someone who died in another person - though I am young and maybe it will happen. For so long: "Om mani padme hum!"

Quote: How can I be nostalgic for a world I never knew? (Graffiti on the Berlin Wall)Berlin. My new home (hopefully). A city with history. I think it is really important to know the history. Well, I can understand the sentence, it is sometimes hard to imagine what really had happend at this times, but when you have the opportunity to get to know the history about a place, I think you should take it. Even if you "never knew the world" - there are so many memories in this town about the injustice that had happend there, so you can get a feeling for it. I, for myself, wasn't part of this world, eighter. I wasn't born back then and never got the division to see, but I am nostalgic for the world I never knew. Ok, well, I am German, but I know that there is a lot of misery out there and I think we should- wherever we are- care for the history of the place and learn from it. You can't kn
ow every misery that's going on (it's too much unfortunately!!) but when you have the chance - take it! This person that wrote the quote on the last piece of the Wall had the chance. I wonder if he had taken it. But I doubt it, although in every corner of this city the memories are quiet obvious; but the graffitis on the wall show me, that it is just a sightseeing thing:"I was here" is one of the most written sentences. This one is almost poetic in comparison. It shows me, that the author had at least thought about the Wall as an memorial. It`s a start I think. So: "Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great!"

Quote: A journey with 1000 miles begins with only one step. Lao-tse (4. century b.C.)
I love to travel. I have the idea of this little elephant, that I take with me everywhere I go and I will take a photo of it. It will be a documentation of the places I will see in my life. Especially now, when I take the first step into my independent life with my first own apartment and so on. The journey today was a family trip into the "wilderness" to celebrate a birthday and so the family came from different places together. I really like my family. I think that they are the only thing I miss when I move away to the other side of Germany; but I think it is an important step to begin your every own life maybe start your own family. The good thing is, that I know I am welcome everytime at my parents house and that they are there for me. I can't imagine a life without this family. When I see other families that are so broken I can't understand it. Our family life was always harmonical, but 
unfortunately I have seen so many other families that aren't this way. I think it is sad. A family is a basis, you need in life. It makes so many things easier. That is the reason, I think, why there are so many young people in Germany that need mental help, because there is no more support in the family. This is bitter. But a conversation sometimes help. Try it out and maybe you will see a miracle!
I will use this blog to write down some of my thoughts, so that I get them out of my head. Mabye it will also advocate my creativity and hopefully my english...Well, I just wanted to start with a good first post...and this is not exactly the one I thought of, but hey, give it time, it will become better...I hope ;)That`s it for now, I will sit down with a nice hot caramel-vanilla coffee and think about it....
