a human being.

Cogito ergo sum?

Do you ever wonder about your soul? What it is? Where it is? Why it is?

Descartes said that I think and thus I am. But this is not, it cannot be the trademark quality, characteristic of a human being.

Each soul is here, to experience. Each soul, like my soul is here to go through, to feel through a certain experience.

What is my soul? Where is it?

The soul is not a substance – it cannot be named and it cannot be located. But when you feel a battle inside you; when you feel you don’t live up to what you once wanted, still want, can, should live – then you feel your soul. It is in these moments that human beings are in touch, literally in touch with their souls. And yet, just as we are not aware of everything we touch during a day, we don’t become aware of this moment when our souls vibrated.

We have to answer a call, click on a link, buy milk, concentrate on the traffic lights, argue with others, earn money, spend money, relax from doing all that…

But there are those battles, reminding us of the times when we were kids, when we were late because we were immersed in the football game we played, in the horse riding, in watching butterflies, in painting something, anything.

Who is winning the battles inside you? The complex life with its screaming commercials and alarming rush all around or the silent soul, somewhere?

I have heard the sound of a battle inside me. And this time I had time to listen to it. I listened – ears turned inwards. And what I heard was music…

Ich höre, also bin ich…
