Our times are totally clear: money dominates everything

05:15 AM  July 20. 1987
cool, cloudy, refreshing mountain air in northern New Hampshire


The miracle of life remains unaltered - no matter how often it occurs. (Whoever loses this sense for it will know their existence is off course - and in need of fundamental and massive help).

For another 14 days I will be here, with Sarah and her immediate family. To the German language lessons-- we never had time, since everyone is working to make cold cash. Absolutely sad if these dear friends (7 of them) could only see their plight. No, I can utter not a single word. it is of no use when so much determination for such money need is present people are caught up or trapped to that extent. They can not see. Their perception is that of: this is the only way. And the terror is, the more they make, the more they spend, the more they need ---------------- the less they have.

the ultimate terror to me is - in that engagement they lose the only thing they EVER had =
their youth, their time.

one myth is = our times are confused.

to unravel
to reveal - we confuse ourselves
_____________________________________________

our times are totally clear:
money dominates everything.
_____________________________________________

a few, careful people, live with "less" than they could afford. They look to all others as being rich.

Therefore I define richness = to live with a happy heart on less than we already have.

this is identical to saying = we have time to think.

to have time to think, is, again = equal to having time to feel, time to act; since these three (action, feeling, thinking) are one.

To you, dear Phillip, I can speak this with ease, since you know this so well and since you live out of an understanding of this.

Mountain greetings,
Your Wolfram

P.S.

Phillip, you may wonder what I do here?

the bathroom floor was rotting out
water was standing in the carpet, etc.
the furnace made a noise, vibrating the floor.
the switch did not work in the living room.
the stove needed cleaning.
the window screen was torn.
the radiator leaking.
the concrete steps were cracked, on the outer porch.
the trees needed trimming of dead branches.
drawers and doors were stuck or unhinged

and so on.

His wife, Julie, was instrumental to buy this house about 10 years ago. She died 2 years ago. Heart, - passive smoker. Everyone is smoking still!

When I came here this summer and saw the condition of the house I promised myself to restore the main parts, so everyone can feel well about Julie, who suggested to buy this specific house as summer retreat - 4 months. (it is rented out for 6 months during fall & winter to skiers). Julie, 52 years old, was a student of the sculpture class and art history (1982-85)
