(All-)täglichkeiten - the daily routine

Die Ästhetik der Routine, die Alltäglichkeit unserer Handlungen und der offene Sinn für das Neue; wenn diese drei Aspekte des Lebens gegeben sind, kann man den nagenden Zweifel überwinden, ohne die Kritik verstummen zu lassen. Ein tägliches Abenteuer.

The aesthetics of routine, the commodity of our actions and the open mind for the tangible option of innovation; if these three aspects of life are present, you can overcome the nagging doubts, without silencing the critical voice. A daily adventure.

Kαὶ εὑρήσετε ἀνάπαυσιν ταῖς ψυχαῖς

ἄρατε τὸν ζυγόν μου ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς καὶ μάθετε ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ὅτι πρᾷός εἰμι καὶ ταπεινὸς τῇ καρδίᾳ, καὶ εὑρήσετε ἀνάπαυσιν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν·ὁ γὰρ ζυγός μου χρηστὸς καὶ τὸ φορτίον μου ἐλαφρόν ἐστιν. (Κατὰ Ματθαῖον 11.27-30)

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:27-30 )
