Gerade im Schwierigen
müssen wir unsere Freuden,
unser GIück, unsere Träume

dort stechen sie vor der Tiefe dieses Hintergrunds hervor, dort sehen wir zum ersten Mal, wie schön sie sind.

In den Augen aller Menschen wohnt eine unstillbare Sehnsucht.
In allen wohnt der gleiche Funke unstillbaren Verlangens,
das gleiche heimliche Feuer,
der gleiche tiefe Abgrund...

I find there is something tranquil and relaxing about been near to water. This photo was taken on a walk around one of the Marinas in Hull.
