Description

I recently went out to eat and ordered a Vegi Dürüm at a place where I've never eaten before. As a dürüm is rolled up in a pastry bag, you can't see what's inside from the outside. I cut the dürüm open because I was sharing it with my dining partner. When I saw what was inside, I was shocked. It looked like meat and because the waitress hardly spoke any German, I assumed she had brought me the wrong thing. It turned out that the supposed meat was well-cooked aubergine. This situation held up a mirror to how quickly I can become insecure and how much I obviously want to be in control and how quickly my trust is lost in the process. Always wanting to control everything is not only extremely stressful, but also impossible. If we take a close look at our lives, we should actually realise how little we can control ourselves and how relaxed it is to live in faith.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
