Welcome to proto-ymagon!

“Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne.” (H. Hesse)

Welcome!

This now is the very first day in the hopefully healthy life of this site, proto-ymagon.blogspot.

Here some short inaugural remarks:

Since I happen to live in the wonderful and history-laden city of Berlin in Germany, right in the heart of Europe, I will from time to time defy the requirements of international outreach that lie at the core of all you'll be treated to in here, by slipping in some bits and pieces of German. Apart from seeing this as a humble incentive to probably learn the language, I of course invite you to simply drop me a line of request for translation whenever you should feel like missing out on something I've written. I shall do my bets to see to it that you get the English treatment if possible.

Main topics of this blog will be themes and issues relating to Europe and Asia.
My main interest is in literature, film and the arts in all its manifestations.
Communication will be centering on life reality and the way we perceive of it.
Focus therein will be on Germany, Japan and Singapore.

What exactly are the points of convergence where these disparate plot lines intersect or merge to become inextricably intertwined? This precisely will have to be be explored.

And then there is ymagon. ymagon is a concept of exchange between Europe and Asia that is in statu nascendi still. With time however, It should eventually evolve from proceedings in here, finally transforming itself into a workable concept; and in narrowing down on clearly defined objectives, proto-ymagon finally will be obliterated by the factual platform altogether, that is ymagon.
More on this shortly.

But up until then: this blog's relative openness is considered to be its strength. I dearly hope for the creative impulse to be enjoyable to any number of folks out there.

So, here we are, let's begin!
