POPSYou Darkness, from which I came You Darkness, from which I came, I love you more than all the Flames, Limiting the World, by shining all around us, (?) so that no one knows of the darkness. But the darkness actually holds everything: Form and Flame, Animals and me, How easily it gathers them, (?) Men and Might - And it is possible: a great Power is coming closer. I believe in Nights. *** by Ranier Maria Rilke (My own terrible German translation...)

POPSFriedrich Nietzsche: Also sprach Zarathustra. - Vom Freunde. (The Friend)
"THERE is always one too many about me"- thinks the hermit. "Always one and one- eventually that makes two!" I and me are always too deeply in conversation: how could I endure it, if there were not a friend? The friend of the hermit is always the third one: the third one is the float which prevents the conversation of the two from sinking into the depth. Ah! there are too many depths for all hermits. Therefore, do they long so much for a friend and his height. Our faith in others betrays* that we would rather have faith in ourselves. Our longing for a friend is our betrayer*. One ought still to honor the enemy in one's friend. Can you go near to your friend, and not go over to him? You would wear no raiment before your friend? It is in honor of your friend that you show yourself to him as you are? But he sends you to the devil for that! There is comradeship: may there be friendship! Thus spoke Zarathustra.

POPSAus den Erzählungen der Chassidim (Martin Buber) CHASSIDISMUS (Hasidism) Diese religiöse Bewegung innerhalb des Judentums ist gegen 1750 in der Ukraine und in Polen entstanden. Sie stellt eine Auflehnung gegen Gesetzesglauben, Kasuistik, Intellektualität - eine von tiefem religiösem Gefühl, von Gottessehnsucht getragene Bewegung der Massen; sie betont Gemütswerte, Frömmigkeit, Demut, aber auch Freude und tätige Liebe. This religious movement within Judaism emerged around 1750 in the Ukraine and in Poland; it represents (like the German Pietist movement) the protest against legalist faith, casuistics, intellectuality - a popular movement with deep religious sentiment and longing for God. It emphasizes emotional values, piety, but also joy and active love. This movement has heavily influenced on Buber's thought. For five years, he had dived into the Chassidic texts while ceasing any other activity. buber.de
