Self promotion:
Nicht ganz ein Jahr, nachdem ich mein erstes Buch veröffentlicht habe, folgt nun der zweite Streich:
Mein neues Buch ist jetzt im Buchhandel erhältlich. Hier alles wichtige dazu:
Titel: In allen Facetten
Autoren: Ines Langs und Martin Lorenz
ISBN: 978-3-8391-0139-1
Paperback, 100 Seiten
€ 12,50 (inkl. MwSt.)

Hier eine kurze Beschreibung des Inhalts:
Das Leben in allen Facetten – Liebe und Freude, Angst und Verzweiflung, aber auch Erkennen und Befreiung, Humor und Fantasie – kaum ein Lebensbereich, der nicht
berührt wird. Beiden Autoren merkt der Leser die Liebe zum Umgang mit der Sprache an.
Sie – geboren 1980 – auf der Suche nach dem Leben; ihr Beitrag geprägt mehr vom Ernst des Suchens, der aber auch Platz für Leidenschaft lässt. Er – ein 46er Jahrgang – hat ein wechselhaftes Leben hinter sich, das wieder humorvolle Texte zulässt. Gedichte und Kurzgeschichten, die Raum geben zum Reflektieren – zum
Nachempfinden.
Bestellen kann man das Buch natürlich wieder in jedem Buchladen und bei den gängigen Online-Buchversendern.

Not quite one year after having issued my first book, there now follows my second one. It is now available in the stores.
For details please see above.
Here's a short description of the contents:
Life in all facettes - Love and joy, fear and despair, but also perception and liberation, humor and fantasy - almost no area of life that isn't touched. With both authors you feel their love for dealing with words.
She - born in 1980 - searching for life; her contribution more influenced by the earnest of searching, which nevertheless leaves room for passion. He - born in 1946 - has lived a changeful life, which now allows again more humorous texts. Poems and short stories, which give room for reflection - for empathizing with.
---------------
And here are the details for my first book of my poetry:
"Poesie ist Licht und Dunkel"
ISBN: 978-3-8370-7692-9
(Title translation: Poetry is Light and Dark)

Stages
By Hermann Hesse
As every flower fades and as all youth
Departs, so life at every stage,
So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.
Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor,
Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.
In all beginnings dwells a magic force
For guarding us and helping us to live.
Serenely let us move to distant places
And let no sentiments of home detain us.
The Cosmic Spirit seeks not to restrain us
But lifts us stage by stage to wider spaces.
If we accept a home of our own making,
Familiar habit makes for indolence.
We must prepare for parting and leave-taking
Or else remain the slaves of permanence.
Even the hour of our death may send
Us speeding on to fresh and newer spaces,
And life may summon us to newer races.
So be it, heart: bid farewell without end.
(Translated by Richard and Clara Winston,
in: The Glass Bead Game (Magister Ludi)
German original:
Stufen
Von Hermann Hesse (im Roman: „Das Glasperlenspiel“)
Wie jede Blüte welkt und jede Jugend
Dem Alter weicht, blüht jede Lebensstufe,
Blüht jede Weisheit auch und jede Tugend
Zu ihrer Zeit und darf nicht ewig dauern.
Es muß das Herz bei jedem Lebensrufe
Bereit zum Abschied sein und Neubeginne,
Um sich in Tapferkeit und ohne Trauern
In andre, neue Bindungen zu geben.
Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne,
Der uns beschützt und der uns hilft, zu leben.
Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten,
An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen,
Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen,
Er will uns Stuf’ um Stufe heben, weiten.
Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise
Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen,
Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise,
Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen.
Es wird vielleicht auch noch die Todesstunde
Uns neuen Räumen jung entgegen senden,
Des Lebens Ruf an uns wird niemals enden …
Wohlan denn, Herz, nimm Abschied und gesunde!
------------------------------------------------------
Aus dem/From the Tao-Te-King von/by Lao-tse
Aus Kapitel 2:
Erst seit auf Erden
Ein jeder weiß von der Schoenheit des Schoenen,
Gibt es die Haesslichkeit;
Erst seit ein jeder weiß von der Guete des Guten,
Gibt es das Ungute.
Wahrlich:
Sein und Nichtsein entspringen einander;
Schwer und Leicht bedingen einander;
Lang und Kurz vermessen einander;
Hoch und Tief erzwingen einander.
Die Stimme fuegt sich dem Ton im Chor;
Und ein Danach folgt dem Zuvor.
From chapter 2:
Only since on earth
Everyone has known about the beauty of the beautiful,
There is ugliness;
Only since everyone has known about the goodness of the good,
There is the ungood.
Truly:
To be and not to be flow from each other;
Hard and easy call for each other;
Long and short measure each other;
High and low enforce each other.
The voice conforms to the choir,
And an after follows a before.
Kapitel 24:
Wer auf Zehen steht, der haelt sich nicht;
Wer die Beine spreizt, der wandelt nicht.
Wer sich selber sieht, ist nicht erleuchtet;
Wer sich selber recht gibt, ist nicht anerkannt;
Wer sich selber aufspielt, hat kein Verdienst;
Wer sich selber ruehmt, wird nicht erhoeht.
Auf den Weg uebertragen, heißt das:
Zu viel der Speisen und prunkender Wandel
Sind den Geschoepfen allzumal ein Ueberdruss.
Wahrlich:
Wer den Weg hat, weilt nicht dabei.
Chapter 24
Who stands on his toes, doesn't linger.
Who spreads his legs, doesn't stroll.
Who only sees himself, is not enlightened.
Who concedes points only to himself, is not appreciated.
Who acts up, has no merit.
Who prides oneself, will not be heightened.
Translated to the way, that means:
Too much of food and pompous lifestyle
Are ever so much weariness for all beings.
Truly:
Who has the way, doesn't linger in it.

Juhani's_dreams says:
"To know Ines' art is to know herself in the totality of her character and her soul. In the sense of synaesthesis she tries to tell the world her human and fragile point of view which resembles moreoften the real strength of the artful and wise soul, she's wearing in her.
She's one of my very first contacts in Flickr and I consider her to be a friend of mine, as we try to have a glimpse of the otherone's soul through our art we produce. Her words and her pictures drawn together deal with the very important topics of the human being, love, strength, weakness, sadness and the spirit of life.
Her style is unique and elementary - concerned with that what really is important - the human in a world watched through the eyes of a real artist.
Thank you for inspiring me, dear Ines.
You are a real poet for life!"15th April, 2008
