It’s a great chance, that bloggers and photographers are able to have dialogues in these modern times so quickly: Some decades ago it was not so easy to find each other. So Claudio Mufarrege from Argentina discovered my autobiography at https://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/german-biography/ and kindly wrote: “I really admire the strength and the determination that have led you to be yourself, my friend. I really admire you, Dietmar…” [June 14, 2012 at 8:46 pm] P.S.: I like the essays of the philosopher Hannah Arendt (Die Banalität des Bösen) about the trial vs. Adolf Eichmann in Israel; the man who adopted me, was a kind of Adolf Eichmann

my reply to him: “Life is sooo long, dear Claudio! And so many things are happening in a lifetime. And I can’t forget too, dear friend Claudio in Argentina, that my daughter, aged 25, traveled alone from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires, sometimes on horses, sometimes walking, a wolf followed her, sometimes with old buses, sometimes with a TAXI for free: She made wonderful photos in Argentina featuring selfmade houses – she is an architect, on the one hand rational, but I am considering, what other moods she was feeling on that long trip …”

I was very touched by this authenticity of this post, its truthfulness and sincerity, among people who live in real time, which happend to be my very thoughts, as I watch the orange star of my notification tool, lit, while I’m still working on my last post (like a boor bell, without a bell, but still noticeable). May be this is a form of democracy? If yes, go to the post and read it Thanks Frizztext!

My country is a fabulous country. And is a really BIG country. I have not had the luck to go their territory from one end to the other, but in Argentina you can find almost all climates, almost all soils, and landscapes from the tropics to the Antarctic, from the mountains to the ocean, the deserts to the rainforest. I’m glad you daughter was lucky enought to enjoy it … it’s another (beautiful) link that intertwines our two lives 🙂

hola Claudio,
yes my daughter saw many penguines and whales (in Patagonia) and in Buenos Aires: a public garden with many cats – & even some elephants (in Buenos Aires, in the Zoo); and she liked to ride the horses there; it seems, that Argentina is a land one can find joy:

I don’t dance tango, my friend! I’m a product of the global culture. Born in 1965, my teenage years had the sound of the rock, soul and …disco music 🙂 In fact, tango is a music “property” of Buenos Aires city, but I love to listen it.

Frizz, your few words and well-chosen photographs always say so much. That through such horrors does come strength, determination and goodness of spirit leaves us all to hope that deeper levels of understanding will eventually say more than the action of arms and munitions. Thank you so much for sharing the quiet depth of your generous spirit.
