Audiostretto 59/4/24 is a daily podcast with an encouraging impulse for the day. Because many people today have little time in a day with a full agenda, this input is a maximum of 59 seconds long. So it"s analogous to a ristretto: short, strong and invigorating. 59 seconds for 24 hours!

Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to explain something to someone but just couldn't find the words? Or you were abroad, couldn't speak the language, but really wanted to talk to someone, for example to order something in a restaurant? In these cases you feel handicapped or mute. It's like in dreams where you want to say something but you can't make a sound. This can be not only frustrating, but downright frightening. Not being understood, not being heard is, in my

Sharpness

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/04/03

It is said, 'Sharpen your edges and you will bump yourself less'. But it also means 'As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'. The iron grinds to sharpness in the second case and in the first case the sharp edges are ground blunt. Are the two statements contradictory? No, they are both true. If I sharpen my character by interacting with others, it does indeed become sharper - but not in a destructive way, but in a constructive and helpful way, which can also mean that

Has it ever happened to you that you wanted to get on the train at a platform, but then the carriage you had to get into was so far behind or in front that the platform was no longer there and you only managed to get on with a giant step? Or the same when getting off? Or maybe on a tram or a larger car, when moving to the shop floor etc.? Then you must have missed an intermediate step or an entry or exit aid. Something like this is inconspicuous, you hardly see it and don't notice it at all if

Salt

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/04/01

Chemically speaking, salt is something very simple because it consists of only two elements: Sodium and chlorine. Nevertheless, it is something special, it seems to me: on the one hand, it can be extracted from the ground and, on the other, it is found in the earth's large bodies of water, i.e. in seas and oceans. It is used by humans as a flavour enhancer in food preparation and as a preservative. In most cases, it is invisible where it is present in an environment, i.e. not in its pure form

Thieving

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/31

I find it interesting that when it comes to the end of the world and the transition to eternity, Jesus uses very concise comparisons. He speaks almost exclusively in parables and metaphors and comparisons in his discourses. And he compares the time in eternity to a magnificent, lavish wedding feast. However, he compares the transition there to a night-time burglary by a thief, and he and the apostle Paul after him warn and admonish us to be vigilant. The almost absurd question is posed as to

Joy

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/30

Do you know your joy triggers? They can be very different. Often - and thank goodness for that - it's people and encounters with them. But not only. I recently came across a statement that spontaneously appealed to me and triggered precisely this effect: Happiness and joy and, interestingly, that's what this statement is all about. I read: "Being able to see the light of the sun means happiness and joy." That sounds very banal, especially for us people without a visual impairment

Network

2024/03/29

If you work with a computer at work today, it is common to work from home or while travelling. The employee has access to the company data shared with him via his computer over the Internet. This is as if they were physically in the office, as if they were on the local network. This is made possible by what is known as a virtual private network, or VPN for short. It refers to a network connection that cannot be viewed by unauthorised parties and therefore offers the necessary security to work

Interpretation

2024/03/28

Do you recognise the following situation? You live in a neighbourhood and there is a neighbour. You meet him for the first time, then for the second time. You soon get the impression that this person is a bit special or strange. Perhaps he doesn't greet you and when he does, he does so very strangely or doesn't hold the door open for you, even though you are about to come to the door, etc. Every further encounter with this person confirms your impression of them. You start to talk about this

Nowadays, if you don't know something, you ask Google. Google knows everything. Very practical - well, as long as you have internet access, otherwise it gets difficult. But this direct access to knowledge also has its downsides. On the one hand, we don't become smarter, although we perhaps look up and read a lot more than we used to, but rather dumber, because we don't have to memorise what we've read. Secondly, it accelerates the already existing process of losing authority. If

Climbing pole

2024/03/26

Did you hate the climbing pole when you were a child? I remember how we tried to climb up this pole with enormous effort, especially as young schoolchildren, but failed after just a few moves. Later, it was much easier for me and I was able to apply techniques so that I could get up the pole more easily and it was only a matter of time before I was at the top. Looking back, it's clear to me that my physical strength increased with age, but also that I was more trained and eventually developed a

Vocation

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/25

It is not uncommon for people who are prominent or in the public eye to talk about their vocation and to debate whether or not the task or lifestyle they have chosen actually corresponds to their vocation, or to mention personalities who live or have lived their vocation in a very special way. The term is of biblical origin. A calling is symbolised by a cloak, especially in the case of prophets. The prophet's mantle expresses the calling of a person to be a prophet as pronounced by God.

Scratches

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/24

Have you ever seen a pan with a scratched base? This means that the surface has been damaged either when cleaning or emptying the pan with objects that are too hard or improperly. The pan is therefore permanently damaged. If you go ice skating, you will also leave scratches or scuff marks on the ice from the sharp blades of your skates. The two objects can therefore be compared: The scratched pan and the scratched ice. Both are damaged and no longer untouched and smooth as they were originally. In

A matter of view

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/23

You have probably seen geometric figures that give you a three-dimensional impression. For example: a square is two-dimensional, flat or even. A cube, on the other hand, has three dimensions. You can also draw it in such a way that you get the impression of a solid and not just a surface. So far nothing special. But remember: on a plane, a sheet of paper, i.e. in two dimensions, I can depict a reality that is one dimension higher, i.e. in three dimensions. Not at all self-evident. Our senses are

See saw

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/22

As a child, you probably also used the seesaw in the playground, where one or more people of roughly the same weight sit at one end and then take turns lifting each other up and then back down again. However, the whole thing only works really well if the weight at both ends is more or less the same. I think it's a nice image of how we can elevate each other in our dealings with each other, for example by putting the other person at the centre of our attention and taking a back seat ourselves

Viewing direction

2024/03/21

In life, it happens all the time that not everything runs smoothly or the way you would like it to. You make plans for the day and are well on your way - and then suddenly something unexpected happens that throws your entire schedule into disarray and perhaps also causes great concern or stress and overwhelm. How do you react then? And what helps you then? I find it interesting that in the prayer book of the Bible, in the Psalms, in such a situation the person praying does not take refuge in prayer

Versal

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/20

In the past, in ornate written documents or books, the first letters of a section were often specially emphasised. These emphasised letters are called capitals. The opposite is the common, i.e. the rest of the text. Versal comes from the Latin versus, which means the turning of the plough, the furrow, the line. That makes sense. When reading, however, I often felt that this emphasis was so strong that I perceived it more as an art element than as part of the text and therefore often had the

We humans are sometimes strange creatures. On the one hand, we want a lot of security, predictability, clarity, etc. We appreciate clear rules, depending on the type of person we are, we are keen to ensure that agreements are adhered to very precisely and, especially in the West, we are very influenced by state laws, regulations etc. and rely on the punctuality of public transport. Woe betide us... on the other hand, we are also the ones who stand on the beach at the end of the day or in the

Shoelaces

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/18

Anyone who unexpectedly breaks a shoelace knows how annoying it can be. The remaining piece is often too short to tie the shoe properly and tightly. However, you can't just use any string or something similar as a replacement. The length must be correct so that there is not too much shoelace or too little to tie. The thickness must be right so that you can get the bendel through the shoe eyelets and ideally, of course, the colour must also match the shoe. It's not without its challenges,

Perfection

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/17

Did you know that bees don't build hexagons for honeycombs, but round cylinders? As they work on these cylinders, they heat the wax. This makes it soft and mouldable. In this process, it takes on the most energy-efficient shape - that of a hexagon. The heat and the external pressure thus lead to the most optimal shape via the melting process. You could also say that in this case, creation produces the perfect solution. Then you could think further: if creation or nature had reached this

Water tank

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/03/16

A coffee machine has a container into which the water is poured to prepare the coffee. The water tank is prepared before preparation so that the subsequent preparation process can be completed successfully. The good thing about the water tank is that, depending on its size, it can be filled with a lot of water and can therefore prepare not just a few coffees, but a large number. However, this also means that if the tank is not filled as required and the water is left to stand, it is no longer
