For my english speaking friends

She is whispering
Today. A year ago my Mom had a stroke and was taken, after lots of phone-calls between Bonn, Stuttgart and Bad Nenndorf, to a clinic an hour away from her home. She got three stents in an emergency surgery. Exactly a year ago on a Monday I booked a room in a hotel...
Real Encounters – on the tram
On my way back in the tram, from Detmold and dear Hajdi - I told you, it was crowded -, and it is a long ride with this tram, but as so much repairing work is done in our streets, it was the only solution to get home, or wait more than one hour. At my left a young...

Honoring Bernie Glassman roshi – died on Nov 4, 2018 or: Until the last name has been chanted
The closer that day comes the more I am thinking of him, the inventor of the Auschwitz-Bearing-Witness-Retreats. Probably it has been a co-creation with his Polish friend Andrzej Krajewski, his second wife Sandra Jishu Holmes and others. I have to write about him,...
The Palermo-birthday-pilgrimage, April 13-20, 2022
After the spontaneously planned US trip to a Zen sesshin and a subsequent street retreat around my 70th birthday did not work out (too many imponderables, also because of COVID), I was looking for a place with a strong statement. And that's what Palermo gives! I...
