Amazing Grace wurden in Österreich gedreht. Drehorte: Riffelsee (Pitztal) und am Naturparkaus (Kaunertal).
Der Song “Amazing Grace” bedeutet mir sehr viel. Er hat eine besondere Kraft. Woran liegt das?, fragte ich mich. Darin wird die Lebenserfahrung eines Mannes beschrieben, der in seinem Leben viel erleb hat, Positives, wie auch Negatives und am Ende gesehen hat, dass es Gottes Gnade ist, die Rettung bringt.
“Gnade” ist heute leider für viele ein Fremdwort. Darum wünsche ich mir, dass Sie die Gnade erfahren.

Claudio Monteverdi : Pur Ti Miro
Et si tu n’existais pas,
Dis-moi pourquoi j’existerais.
Pour traîner dans un monde sans toi,
Sans espoir et sans regrets.
Et si tu n’existais pas,
J’essaierais d’inventer l’amour,
Comme un peintre qui voit sous ses doigts
Naître les couleurs du jour.
Et qui n’en revient pas.
Et si tu n’existais pas,
Dis-moi pour qui j’existerais.
Des passantes endormies dans mes bras
Que je n’aimerais jamais.
Et si tu n’existais pas,
Je ne serais qu’un point de plus
Dans ce monde qui vient et qui va,
Je me sentirais perdu,
J’aurais besoin de toi.
Et si tu n’existais pas,
Dis-moi comment j’existerais.
Je pourrais faire semblant d’être moi,
Mais je ne serais pas vrai.
Et si tu n’existais pas,
Je crois que je l’aurais trouvé,
Le secret de la vie, le pourquoi,
Simplement pour te créer
Et pour te regarder.

Without self-confidence we are as babes in the cradles. And how can we generate this imponderable quality, which is yet so invaluable, most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself.
(from “A Room of One’s Own”) by Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) Discuss

The Storm before the calm (poetic thought by George-B)
I float, now, at fate’s will, karma – for sail,
fate – for rudder while I remain,
just a resigned captain, passenger and sole survivor,
Surreally true…
Show me to the shore,
show me the rock, the birds,
show me the current to the light house,
to become again homeward bound,
from the storm before the calm

Departure (poetic thought by George-b)
I’ve parted with symbols – rings
bracelets chains –
my blinking eyes for rhythm,
For thirst my breath –
I’m free to flyaway.

To furnish the means of acquiring knowledge is . . . the greatest benefit that can be conferred upon mankind. It prolongs life itself and enlarges the sphere of existence.
John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) Discuss
Waltzing the party
(a poetic thought from George)
we wait for things to stop
sometimes
for things to start
so we can stop or start to feel
to feel not, to forget to act, to forgive and
forget again and again, till the year past
takes it away again and again…
takes it away.
