Some hats for your brains, daily little pencil drawings

My daily dosis of drawings... Some hats for your brains. Just because this is an art blog it doesn't mean that I'm not thinking about all the injustice in this world. I believe that we can change the world with our prayers and by informing ourself and others about the truth.

Here is what is left from my tea, mini sketchbook pencil drawing

S o t h a t I m a y p e r c e i v e w h a t h o l d s o u r w o r l d t o g e t h er Hans-Peter Dürr/Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 Ich glaube überhaupt nicht daran, dass man die globalen Probleme auch global lösen kann. Auch die Natur löst globale Probleme, indem sie lokal etwas verändert, auf eine solche Art und Weise, die allmählich in größere Dimensionen hineinwächst.  

Hans-Peter Dürr, Was unsere Welt im Innersten zusammenhält

  So that I may perceive what holds our world together 

  Egoism will ruin mankind. It is the ego people define themselves through, and this is only a small part of what we experience as the ego, which includes other things [...]

 Strengthening egoism is devastating; strengthening, stressing individualization is very important. It enables every human to develop his or her abilities beyond the ego by also developing the emotional and the spiritual dimension. The spiritual dimension will show to the individual that it is embedded in a larger context that places certain limits to its development.

  We talk much about freedom. freedom, however, cannot mean "freedom in relation to everything". Freedom has its own limits. Freedom must always be seen in relation to the question "Freedom for what?", not just "Freedom whereof?", which means to fling off restraints. "Freedom for what?" means to assume responsibility once we have debeloped freedom. Placing limits on developing my own abilities, introducing them for the benefit of the community is a requirement we urgently must demand. It is not an unusual request; it is how we are conceived.

 Everybody with a spiritual relationship to this world will consider it most natural to give to the others, what he or she has to give, thus enriching the society. Destroying this spiritual dimension - as is often the case in our western society - leads into social isolation, and I am an egoist.

This is the first drawing in my new sketchbook - a rather expensive one, the paper has a special quality, it's called Ivory. Gwendolin eating Spaghetti.

Horse carriages at St. Stephen´s, Vienna pencil drawings / Fiaker und ihre Pferde, Geschichte vom Stephansplatz

Gestern am Stephansplatz traf ich auf die Fiaker, wie sie bei ihren Pferden herumstanden und redeten.

Als ich anfing zu Zeichnen wurden sie neugierig und kamen herbei.

Eine Fiakerin schaute zu meinen Zeichnungen, die anderen fragten sie: "Was macht sie da? Stenografieren?" - "Ja, genau, ich schreibe alles mit was ihr da spricht! " war meine Antwort.

Einer fing an mit mir zu reden während ich versuchte sein Gesicht einzufangen, aber das Gespräch war zu kurz, deshalb wurde die Zeichnung nicht fertig - über Schokobananen, vergiftetes Essen und sauren Regen.

Ich mag den Wiener Schmäh den sie draufhaben, die Fiaker.

Und noch ein paar Skizzen ihrer Pferde...

Begonnene Skizze, nicht vollendet.
