“Gehe nur an ihm zu Grunde — ich weiss keinen besseren Lebenszweck als am Grossen und Unmöglichen, animae magnae prodigus, zu Grunde zu gehen.”

  1. Looking forward to it!

    I must ask, the image you’ve used here: is there a significance to the existence of small, white speck just a little off-center?

  2. that is great to hear. i will likely have similar timing, so we can close out our class with a bang (!).

  3. White speck == A hint of Daylight in a forlorn cave.
    Just a little off-center == The Acceptance of Imperfection.

  4. Time space constraints indeed. But no longer for a future event. Last sentence in the preface can thus be removed? I’ll adjust my time space constraints and be there, come what may..

  5. thinkin of you! and booked my ticket! and a hotel! and a bike! so …. no worries.

    [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ‘2094739400 which is not a hashcash value.

  6. Today, today!! please dont go zu Grunde, at least not metaphorically speaking. Unless you mean: to the bottom, to the depth of things.
    Enjoy every minute. XXX, jm
