  • the mule, the magpie and the sun

    The Mule, the Magpie and the Sun
    told by AN YÚNXIÁ

    Once upon a time, the mule, the magpie and the sun made a wager among the three of them.
    The sun said: "Magpie, if you are strong, you must call down a nine feet thick layer of snow in one day. If the mule is strong, he must not let this snow melt for one day. And if I, the sun, am strong, I must melt away this nine feet thick layer of snow in one day." Thus was their wager.
    The magpie whispered, and called down in a whispering voice nine feet of snow in one day.
    The sun shone with all its might for one day and melted the snow that had fallen in one day totally away.
    The mule just stood in one spot, and remained there without moving for one day.
    And so the sun shone for one day, and melted away the nine feet thick layer of snow everywhere.
    But it had not melted away the snow on the spot where the mule stood, in his shadow and under his hooves.

    [This story is a Eastern Yugur folktale]

  • schiller - der tag ... du bist erwacht

    I'm in and out of cardiology like a yo-yo, but the coming days will prove worrying actually.
    But more later. I'll reply when I can.

    In the meantime, this brilliant song has cheered me;

    Der Tag ... Du Bist Erwacht Schiller
    Artist: Schiller
    Album: Tag Und Nacht
    Year: 2005
    Title: Der Tag ... Du Bist Erwacht

    (feat. Jette Von Roth)

    Du bist erwacht
    mit aller kraft mit grosser macht
    in aller pracht leben wächst
    für dich und mich
    im sonnenlicht
    belebende wärme umhüllt meinen körper sanfte besinnung erblüht wieder neu schmetterlingsflügel
    schneeflockentanz lockende winder in kleiner distanz
    duftende blüten in meiner hand tautropfen schimmern
    seidiger glanz ich atme dein verlangen ein
    lass hoffnung rein
    tag aus tag ein welches glück birgst du in dir
    heut und hier ein blick zurück, bevor du dich davon bewegst
    heimlich entschwebst bevor du schläfst
    dein hauch verweht schmetterlingsflügel
    schneeflockentanz ... spür ich noch
    den hellen schein lösch dein licht und schlafe ein das letzte glimmen lischt
    vergangenes verwischt morgen schon wirst du neu geboren sanfte besinnung erblüht wieder neu schmetterlingsflügel
    schneeflockentanz ...
