Reading this Heaven Letter,
On December 22nd, 2007 Jochen (not verified) says:
Reading this Heaven Letter, something comes to mind which I would like to share with you. Perhaps any other Heaven Letter could have triggered this just as well. But now it is this one and I just have to somehow express my joy.
A quote, just two lines:
Nah ist und schwer zu fassen der Gott.
Wo aber Gefahr ist, wächst das Rettende auch.
(Friedrich Hölderlin)
My attempt at translation:
Near is and hard to grasp, God.
But where there is danger there also grows that which saves.

I cannot tell you how much Heavenletters mean to me. Some days I could cry for the beauty of the words -- other days I laugh out loud -- and yet others I gasp with realization when I read them. The greatest gift these Heavenletters bring, I think, is the emotional responses we have - emotion ... e-motion ... energy in motion. They get us moving!
