Currently many things are crossing my mind. A lot of things are happening which I never considered possible before. Everything started at my occupational therapy. To my mind I have the best occupational therapist you can ever imagine. Approximately four weeks ago she brought a book and some cards with her. I hope it does not sound too presumptuous but
Otto Tutschke from Friedersdorf at Zittau may not be very well known, other than personalities like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Alexander von Humboldt or Friedrich Schiller. Still exactly this Otto Tutschke did something extraordinary at his time: he travelled from his home Oberlausitz to Palestine in the year 1895. The book “Reiseerinnerungen aus drei Erdteilen – insbesondere aus Palästina” tells
To put it in a nutshell: The Udo Lindenberg exhibition in Braunschweig is fun! Udo’s pictures celebrate life, do not take it too seriously and bolster the spectator up to follow the lead. I can just say thank you to both, Udo Lindenberg for turning 75 recently and the Prüsse-Stiftung for dedicating this exhibition to Braunschweig on the occasion of
I only know the Jojo-Effekt from magazines dealing with diets (fortunately I did not need one so far). At first, they say, the achievements of weight reduction are quick and motivating.

Today I go into the thick of things and dedicate myself to a particular difficult chapter on the way to love for myself: the inner critic. This awkward condition, that is how I want to call it here, is labelled in psychology as one kind of Ego-State. The persistence of the inner critic can be symbolized by a Donald Trump
I passed by a thousand times, a thousand times nothing happened. Thousand and one day and it makes Zoom.” Somehow or other I could explain today’s discovery. I have no clue for how many times I really rode through Veltheim (Ohe). But until today I missed the charming treasure of the town: the moated castle of Veltheim. How could that
Corona aka Covid-19 still determins our day-to-day life. Even though I decided some time ago to bow out of the daily coverage on number of cases and incidence rates, but even on my mountainbike I am confronted once more with the virus, like lastly at Veltheim/Ohe. At the passenger bench signs indicate “break”. I am surprised however when I learn
“The so called inner child” that is the name of a book written by the two psychologists Herbold and Sachsse. The title hints at the problem behind. Whenever a technical term penetrates everyday speech it is in danger to leave the path of a selective definition and is often being defamiliarized or being weakened or is being adapted to the
I am always surprised what kind of beautiful ways and sights I discover around Braunschweig when riding my bike. Today I just intended to ride through the Querumer Forst but on my way back I am in for a surprise. It is worth taking some courage and ride cross-country, just to see what is going to happen. Next to the
The privileges sound tempting: attention, recognition, carpool, flunkies, access to important public persons and the certainty of ever rising allowances for members of parliament. These temptations symbolize the atttractiveness of becoming and remaining a member of parliament. The shady sides? Attacs from the public via social media, by the press and from the own party.
