An Zimmern

by Friedrich Hoelderlin

Die Linien des Lebens sind verschieden,
Wie Wege sind, und wie der Berge Grenzen.
Was hier wir sind, kann dort ein Gott ergänzen
Mit Harmonien und ewigem Lohn und Frieden.

ROOMS TO

 The lines of life are different
 What ways are, and how the mountains boundaries.
 What here we are, there can complement a God
 With harmonies and eternal reward and peace.

Life almost always takes different turns than expected or planned. 

We create our lives, our homes, our spaces 

and then find out at some point

that the same familiar door opens into a different room.

It remains the challenge to enter with our hearts 

and make the unknown familiar again 

and into our own.
