| Diary entry by my father made on 7.6.2002 |
38
When someone goes out into his work
He is alive like a tree in spring
He is living, not merely working
There is no point in work
Unless it absorbs you
Like an absorbing game
If it doesn't absorb you
If it is never fun, don't do it!
39
And your body is the harp of your soul
And it is yours to bring forth
Sweet music from it
Or confused sounds
40
For the fruit, giving is a need
As receiving is a need to the roots
For the seed the need is to strike root
In Earth and grow
To give food, fragrance and shade
To burst into flowers in all colours
Holding hands with thorns!
41
Life is reason enough; what more
you want. Life means celebration!

In his twilight years he maintained diaries which are a glimpse into his sensitive soul.
