The industry has its zen garden

“Sammle dich und kehre ein,
Lerne schauen, lerne lesen!
Sammle dich – und Welt wird Schein.
Sammle dich – und Schein wird Wesen.”

(H. Hesse in Junger Novize im Zen-Kloster, no. 2)

Where the winds blow through the industrial remains

"Little wind, blow on the hill-top,
Little wind, blow down the plain;
Little wind, blow up the sunshine,
Little wind, blow off the rain."

I left my bike in an autumn scene

“Red leaf, gold leaf,
Flutter down the wind:
Life is brief, oh! life is brief,
But Mother Earth is kind;
From her dear bosom ye shall spring
To new blossoming.”

(E.M. Hutchinson in Autumn song)

There seems to be something wrong

“Wait a minute, something’s wrong, baby.
The key wont unlock the door.
I got a bad, bad feeling that my baby don’t live here no more.”

(Jimi Hendrix in Red house)
