    Strange couple. One doesn’t have to do a lot with the other at first sight.

    Yet here they are:  Sharing a time and a place in a universe that is ultimately governed by Love.

    They are in tune. Watching them I tuned in, too.

  • Not fitting in can be the perfect fit

    In Music each note is defined by its environment. There are no good or bad sounds – there are only sounds within a certain harmonic neighborhood of more or less tension.

    It’s the individual human ear saying: “This tune is beautiful.” or “This sounds horrible.

    And each individual pair of ears is part of a certain cultural harmony itself, is part of a cultural environment.

    Each human being is able to enlarge her or his cultural environment. Each human being is able to be part of a more complex harmony than the one she or he was born into. It takes the virtues of openness, curiosity and tolerance – but the rewards are huge.
    Not fitting into the environment
    By Detlef.

    What would this environment of stones be without the colourful leaf?

    What would the leaf be in an environment full of other gaudy leaves?
