Jürgen Wagner
The Stone Soup
In deep winter, homeward bound
Having eaten naught for ages
Carrying a pot, that he had found
He entered a village, kindled fire
Placed in the pot a stone so bare
Added water, simmered a soup
'A pinch of salt would make it fair! '
A villager willingly brought the spice
'So welcome our meal-maker!
Still a carrot and slices of bread! '
They were donated by the baker
A chicken leg would be so fine
Some herbs and grains also to add
A perfect soup, that we could dine
And everyone would be so glad
So many came and spent a little
'Cause stone soup, it was unknown here
They all ate and all were filled
Only one thing remained so clear:
The stone, the starting spark of all
Must carefully be wrapped in cloth
In case someone would ask or call
In our days it's hope and troth

Book by Jürgen Wagner:
Meditationen über Gelassenheit
von Jürgen Wagner
Der Zugang des Menschen zu seinem Wesen im Anschluss an Martin Heidegger und Meister Eckhart
Meister Eckhart und Martin Heidegger vereinigen auf ihre Weise Frömmigkeit und Denken. Beide bringen ans Licht, dass es in der Gelassenheit noch um mehr geht als um eine nützliche Tugend zur Stressbewältigung. So möchte dieses Buch dazu beitragen, dass wir westliche Menschen im Bewusstsein unserer Tradition u n s e r e n Weg zur Gelassenheit finden und gehen können. Die Begegnung mit anderen Wegen schließt dies nicht aus, sondern ein.
