PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING (M. Sager, 2022. Acrylic on canvas, 80 x 80 cm)
PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING

A cozy place where I always want to go
Surrounding soundness forever, slow
In a storm, it still offers protection
The benevolent gentleness, a natural flow

I had it, but lost again and again
Seems like a conspiracy against men
Against my need for security and support
With every new beginning, reborn I am

It was always worth the coming and going
Much instructive beauty seen through pain
Isn’t that life from beginning to the end
What remains is the ability to explain		ORT DES VERSTEHENS

Ein trauter Ort, wo ich immer hingehen will
Umgebende Geborgenheit für ewig, still
Auch bei Sturm bietet er noch immer Schutz
Die gütige Sanftheit, ein natürliches Idyll

Ich hatte ihn, doch immer wieder verloren
Es scheint, als hätte er sich verschworen
Gegen mein Bedürfnis für Sicherheit und Halt
Bei jedem Neuanfang werd’ ich neu geboren

Immer war’s es Wert, das Kommen und Gehen
Viel lehrreich Schönes durch Schmerz gesehen
Ist das nicht das Leben von Beginn zu Ende
Was schlussendlich bleibt ist das Verstehen

  • I see the figures in pain. I see the beauty hidden. “Much instructive beauty seen through pain…” Yes! And indeed, “…what remains is the ability to explain.” But who can explain pain?

    • Good question! Maybe it is less pain that needs to be explained, but the ability to explain life thanks to pain (as pain is instructive)…
      Thanks a lot for your comment, and all the best!
