The beauty of silence

There were so many things I wanted to say about this. So many feelings and thoughts I had. I wanted to talk about slowing life down, about watching movies which are set in the 1800s and how life was slower and quieter and yet words would be the opposite of the beauty of silence. Therefore all I am saying is this picture and all that comes with it.

In view of yesterday's premier of Season 10 of So you think you can dance I wanted to post this little video. It is a beautiful dance excelled in every bit of every movement. There is so much in it I can't even find the words so... enjoy it and be sure to see more dancing coming soon.

Who am I?

As one season comes to an end and I find myself in an in between season this question lingers again. Like a cloud is is hanging over me. It is a question I need to answer but not only in view of the present but most certainly need I think about the future.
Dreams. Visions. Goals... So to say.

Last week I went to London to the Hillsong Colour conference. One evening Brian Houston was preaching and he challenged all of us to sit down and write "The life I see".
At first I felt like I couldn't write it as if it was an impossibility. But on my flight to Austria (where I spent my last weekend) I pulled out my Moleskine and just started. As the pictures in my head started to become ink on paper a lot of things started to make sense as if they had just waited to be thought of yet even said.

And now there it is: New Dreams, new Visions and a life to pursue. And yet again I am left with a challenge. Go after your Dreams. Pray, be faithful, follow Jesus even more and learn. Become a better person and grow.

I gladly accept this challenge and cannot wait for the seasons ahead.

Definitely, Maybe

This week one of my former work colleagues forwarded this article about the "Generation Maybe". I thought it was really good and very true in many parts. The 20 somethings and 30 somethings know a lot, they are well prepared, well educated but massively overwhelmed by opportunity and chances of what they can do.
Read the article here (it is in German for all you English speakers so you might have to copy-paste it into google translator).

On Dancing.

Most of you know of my love for dancing. Not only is it a great workout but a way of expressing myself. A way to let go and just be free in the movement. It is about knowing your body, knowing how it moves.
Most of you also know that I don't go out dancing in clubs and such things so my only dancing happens in the dance studio, at home or at weddings. Whenever I watch a dance movie it really excites me.
Sometimes I get so excited about the dancing that I shout out in joy!

This last weekend I watched Step Up Revolution and I know some of you might say "really, another one of those", but truthfully I really like the movie because it focuses on dancing as a form of art being used to make a statement.
And honestly: The dancing is amazing!!! I mean amazing!

So I thought why not share some of it with you here because that is where my thoughts are today anyways (there and at a lot of other places too).
