Christmas letter 2019


Urs, a farmer from Ireland, and his wife Claudia, a doctor, write me a letter every year at Christmas. I always look forward to it. They let me know what has been going on with them on the farm and in their lives. I haven’t seen Urs and his wife for quite a while, but since I visited them some years ago, I can imagine many things that they describe so well. This year they have sent me a wonderful story that I would like to share.

Weihnachtsbrief 2019


Urs, ein Bauer aus Irland, und seine Frau Claudia, eine Ärztin, schreiben mir jedes Jahr zu Weihnachten einen Brief. Ich freue mich immer sehr darauf. Sie lassen mich wissen, was bei ihnen auf der Farm und in ihrem Leben so alles gelaufen ist. Ich habe Urs und seine Frau schon ziemlich lange nicht mehr gesehen, aber da ich vor Jahren bei ihnen zu Besuch war, kann ich mir vieles, was sie so beschreiben, gut vorstellen. Dieses Jahr haben sie mir eine wunderbare Geschichte gesendet, die will ich gerne teilen.

Yoga


Ich war vom Sommer bis spät in den Herbst oft am See. Für mich gibt es nichts Schöneres als das Schwimmen, Paddeln oder Segeln draussen auf dem Wasser. Die Weite des Sees, die Bewegung, sie ist für mich eine sehr meditative Angelegenheit obwohl sie physisch eigentlich ziemlich anstrengend ist. Ich sah dann die kleine Gruppe auf der Wiese neben dem See immer wieder. Bis zu dreissig Leute, die da Yoga übten.

Yoga


From summer through to autumn I went to the lake quite often. There’s nothing more wonderful to me than swimming, canoeing or sailing outdoors, on the water. The vastness of the sea, it’s movement, it’s quite a meditative matter even though it actually is quite physically demanding. I then saw this little group on the grass next to the lake again and again. Up to thirty people practising yoga.

New Yorkers


They’re so nice! I was looking for 1500 Broadway, in the middle of New York, in the heart of Times Square. That seems to be so easy. The building is here and huge but I simply cannot find the entrance. I look around helplessly and cluelessly and barely a minute passes when a young man approaches me.
