Jürgen Wagner
The Contented One
It bloomed so bright, got tender care
A sign hung by his humble gate
Invited men to contemplate:
"This plot of land to one I'll give
Content his way to be and live
Accepting life, that comes and goes -
Here he may plant his veg and rose"
A merchant strolled along the way
He read the sign, hastened to say:
"I am the man for this decree
I have it all, just look and see!"
"Good sir, I ask, if all is grand
Why crave this plot of fertile land?
When nothing seems to cause you strife
Why seek still more in your smart life?"
The man knew nothing more to say
Silent returned and went his way
Ashamed and also woken up
Thirsting for water in a cup

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.
