wash away

tears washed away some stuff yesterday evening.

stuff that it is good to leave in 2010.

and live rejoicing every, every day

anniversaries

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Quercodi'

Is there some task you hate?

Yesterday I decided with a friend that our week won't consist anymore of just seven days. 'Quercodi'' (Quarkday in English and Quarktag in German) is the new day. 

Promise your boss that you will handle that task on Quercodi'. 

Ever had that feeling that today it is not the day that the calendar says? Yeah, that's because today it's Quercodi'.

What a great invention...Quercodi' :)

to whom

to whom will I find myself saying this?

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Qi

In traditional Chinese culture, qi is an active principle forming part of any living thing. It is frequently translated as "energy flow," and is often compared to Western notions of energeia or élan vital (vitalism) as well as the yogic notion of prana. The literal translation is "air," "breath," or "gas"

Sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions typically function in opposition to each other. But this opposition is better termed complementary in nature rather than antagonistic. For an analogy, one may think of the sympathetic division as the accelerator and the parasympathetic division as the brake. The sympathetic division typically functions in actions requiring quick responses. The parasympathetic division functions with actions that do not require immediate reaction. Consider sympathetic as "fight or flight" and parasympathetic as "rest and digest".
