  1. A BetTER Day

    Independence has its day,
    when o’er the skies fireworks display,
    and dependence, too, is good,
    as every tender spirit should

    learn the grace of being held,
    when pride is hushed, and fear is quelled.
    But methinks we need another name,
    a deeper word, a wider frame.

    It happens after we let one IN,
    past the surface, past the skin,
    past the guarded gates we keep,
    past the places where hurt runs deep.

    In the space before DEPEND,
    we see the other as vital friend,
    all as branches from one tree,
    as the grains of sand receive the sea.

    Then add three letters, soft but true,
    TER arrives and makes it new.
    Not just me and not just thee,
    but something born between the three.

    In-TER-dependence names the art
    of hand in hand and heart to heart,
    while I am I, and you are you,
    something sacred binds us too.

    Independence stands alone,
    dependence leans on flesh and bone,
    but interdependence humbly sings:
    we rise by sharing roots and wings.

  26. From the raw street energy of Kreuzberg to the highly polished acoustics of Bebelplatz, Berlin is completely open-source today. Listening to Thielemann conduct Beethoven’s Pastoral for free on a historic square tells us something profound about what "public space" should actually mean. When high art escapes the golden boxes of the opera houses and touches the asphalt, the artificial divisions of the city melt away, if only for an afternoon. 🎻🍃 #BND #StaatsoperFürAlle #Beethoven #CommonGood

  35. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    In the future world the misuse of power, as implied in the term “power politics,” must not be a controlling factor in international relations. That is the heart of the principles to which we have subscribed. We cannot deny that power is a factor in world politics any more than we can deny its existence as a factor in national politics. But in a democratic world, as in a democratic Nation, power must be linked with responsibility, and obliged to defend and justify itself within the framework of the general good.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
    Message (1945-01-06) to Congress, Annual Message (State of the Union)
