Sehnsucht und Orte: Die Grenzen von Freiheit und mehr, auf der Suche nach dem Sinn des Lebens.
Ein literarisch‑pädagogischer Blick für junge Leserinnen und Leser und Menschen, die lesen lernen wollen: Lesen um zu lesen.
Einleitung
Es gibt Wörter, die wie Schlüssel wirken: Sie öffnen Türen zu Erinnerungen, Bildern, Gefühlen. Sehnsucht ist ein solches Wort. Es trägt in sich den Schmerz des Unerreichbaren und zugleich den Glanz des Möglichen. Für Kinder und Jugendliche, die lesen, träumen und sich selbst entdecken, ist Sehnsucht oft der unsichtbare Motor zwischen den beiden Polen Grenze und Freiheit gleich grenzenlos. Wer kennt den Gedanken nicht: Du hast nichts zu verlieren ausser deinen Ketten.
Die Mindmap als eine Art Kompass | Zeichen und Icons und Skizzen und mehr (Jedes Kind ist ein Picasso oder auch: Just follow Leonardo da Vinci).
Freiheit, Grenzen, Aufbruch, Verantwortung und Mut. Jedes Feld ist mit Synonymen, Assoziationen und literarischen Ankern aus der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur gefüllt – von Momo über Krabat bis Tschick.
Und vielen anderen guten Büchern für Kinder und Jugendliche: Wo die wilden Kerle wohnen oder auch Panama.
Freiheit – der weite Horizont: Fluss und Schiffe und das Meer
Freiheit ist für junge Leser oft mit Sommerferien, Reisen oder der ersten eigenen Entscheidung verbunden. In Tschick wird sie zum Abenteuer auf offener Straße, in Momo zur Rückeroberung der eigenen Zeit. Freiheit ist der Raum, in dem Sehnsucht atmen kann.
Grenzen – das unsichtbare Gitter
Grenzen können Mauern sein, Regeln, Prüfungen oder unausgesprochene Erwartungen. In Krabat sind es magische Schranken, in Ich, Laura politische und sprachliche Barrieren. Grenzen geben Form – und machen die Sehnsucht nach dem Dahinter umso stärker.
Aufbruch – der erste Schritt
Jeder Aufbruch ist ein kleiner Sieg über die Grenze. Ob Ronja Räubertochter in den Wald zieht oder zwei Jungen in Tschick ohne Plan losfahren – der Aufbruch ist die Handlung, in der Sehnsucht Gestalt annimmt.
Verantwortung – die stille Begleiterin
Freiheit ohne Verantwortung bleibt leer. Die Welle und das Tagebuch der Anne Frank zeigen, wie wichtig es ist, Entscheidungen zu tragen – auch wenn sie schwer sind. Verantwortung erdet die Sehnsucht und macht sie tragfähig.
Mut – das Herz der Bewegung
Mut ist die Kraft, die Sehnsucht in Handlung verwandelt. In Krabat bedeutet Mut, sich gegen den Meister zu stellen, in Die rote Zora für andere einzustehen. Mut ist der Pulsschlag, der Freiheit und Sehnsucht verbindet.
Schlussgedanken
Sehnsucht ist kein Zustand, den man „überwindet“. Sie ist ein Kompass, der uns zeigt, wo wir hinwollen – und manchmal auch, wovor wir fliehen. Für Kinder und Jugendliche, die lesen, ist sie ein stiller Lehrer: Sie lehrt, dass Grenzen nicht nur Hindernisse sind, sondern auch Startlinien.
Schlicht und klar und einfach: Lesen lässt Flügel wachsen.

With my best wishes from the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia
Stern’s views on the impact of new technologies like AI and social media are pragmatic and grounded in cognitive principles.
She identifies the primary problem not with the technology itself but with the “loss of self-determination” and the encouragement of passive consumption.
She contrasts the passive nature of endless suggestions from streaming services with the active choice required to decide what to do after finishing a book.
However, she also acknowledges the potential for digital media to be an “effective tool for learning,” particularly when used to delegate adaptive exercises to AI. This would free up teachers to provide more time for supervision, individual feedback, and explanations.
This perspective aligns with her work on instructional support and differentiated learning, positioning technology as a tool to enhance, rather than replace, effective pedagogy.
In a nutshell:
Education is NOT about wasting precious time.
The Life Time of people including young adults is limited.
Learning is always elaborating what people already know and how to connect the dots (Steve Jobs).

Pushbike Camping Tour of the Vennbahn: A 5-Night Itinerary from Aachen
Credit phb
Introduction
In recent years, the Vennbahn has garnered an international reputation as one of Europe’s premier long-distance cycle routes, famed for its cross-border character, gentle gradients, rich World War history, and immersive natural landscapes. The route, running for 125 kilometers (approximately 78 miles) along a disused railway corridor, links Aachen in Germany with Troisvierges in Luxembourg, weaving through the scenic regions of East Belgium, the Eifel, the Ardennes, and the famous uplands of the High Fens. The path is almost entirely paved and generally avoids steep climbs, making it accessible for cyclists with moderate fitness—even those carrying pannier-laden bikes and camping equipment.
This report details a practical five-night pushbike camping itinerary for a solo cyclist in late August 2025. Each section provides daily route details, elevation and terrain analysis, recommended camping spots, food, water, and repair service points, as well as notable sights and safety or cultural notes specific to camping along this transnational greenway. Critical advice about weather, legal wild camping, booking, connectivity, and emergency transport is woven throughout. By merging practical logistics with cultural highlights, this report delivers a robust blueprint for an independent Vennbahn camping adventure.

Note: The itinerary segments are designed to allow time for sightseeing, weather adjustments, and the selection of scenic camping options. Daily mileage is intentionally moderate for a loaded touring cyclist with tent and gear, while allowing for rest and cultural side trips.
General Overview of the Vennbahn Route
The Vennbahn is an exemplary rails-to-trails project, combining a nearly flat gradient (averaging less than 2%) with generally excellent asphalt surfaces. It is renowned for tranquil, car-free cycling—a key reason for its popularity among solo travelers, families, and adventurers alike. The route repeatedly crosses borders between Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg, providing a subtle but fascinating lesson in European geography and history. The terrain transitions between the urban outskirts of Aachen, rolling Eifel meadows, the historic high moors of Hohes Venn, and the lush valleys of the Ardennes and Our river.
The route is well-signed throughout, with clear Vennbahn-branded signposts, kilometer markers every 500 meters, and information panels at key historical or natural sites. While you are, in theory, never far from civilization, the core stretches through East Belgium and the High Fens are notably remote, so thoughtful supply management is important for campers.

Weather and Climate for Late August
Late August in the Eifel, Ardennes, and East Belgium generally offers mild to warm temperatures, with average daytime highs of 20–25°C and nighttime lows of 12–15°C. Rain is possible on about 1 in 3 days; short, variable showers can arise, but long periods of rain are infrequent. Expect around 82–90 mm precipitation for August, over about 12–17 days—so prepare for occasional wet weather, particularly in the exposed moorland fringes. Humidity is moderate, the wind typically light to moderate (predominantly SW), and the UV index can be high on clear days. August is an excellent (and popular) time for cycling the Vennbahn: the route is lively but rarely crowded, with campers advised to book their spots a few days ahead especially near tourist hotspots (Monschau, Robertville, Bütgenbach, Troisvierges).

Wild Camping and Campsite Regulations
Germany
Wild camping in Germany is generally prohibited except in official trekking/bivouac sites, primarily established in certain nature parks and forests, including in parts of the Eifel and the Hohes Venn region. These permitted “trekking” sites often must be booked in advance, charge a small fee (€5–€10 per tent), and offer only minimal facilities—sometimes just a wooden platform and compost toilet. Bivouacking (sleeping outside without a tent) is sometimes tolerated for a single night but remains a legal grey area and is not recommended in protected reserves without explicit permission.
Belgium
Wild camping is strictly forbidden in Belgium’s nature parks (notably the Hohes Venn–Eifel), with fines for violations. Use only official campsites or ask private landowners for explicit permission. Numerous campsites, ranging from rustic to full-service, are scattered along the Vennbahn, particularly near Monschau, Robertville, Bütgenbach, St. Vith, and Troisvierges, with tent pitches readily available but sometimes busy in August.
Luxembourg
Luxembourg also restricts wild camping, requiring use of legal campsites or explicit landowner permission. The Troisvierges campsite is well-suited and directly adjacent to the trail.
Summary: Plan on using official campsites each night for legality, safety, and access to water, showers, and toilets. Carry cash for campsite fees, as not all accept cards.

Vennbahn Itinerary: Five Nights, Six Days
Day 1: Aachen to Monschau
Route Details
Distance: ~38 km (main trail, plus camp detour)
Elevation Gain: ~350 m
Surface: 99% paved, gentle railway gradient, no challenging climbs
Difficulty: Easy-moderate (good for loaded bikes)
Typical Ride Time: 3–4 hours with sightseeing stops
The tour begins at Aachen Hauptbahnhof (Aachen Central Station), where you can access the official start of the Vennbahn either by riding a marked feeder route to Rothe Erde Station or following the signed trail from the city center. The first kilometers roll gently outward through parkland and quiet suburbs, quickly leaving urban bustle behind. The path passes through historic Kornelimünster, with its ancient abbey and inviting cafés, then crosses the German-Belgian border at Raeren—a perfect place to pause at the pottery museum or a local bakery.
From Raeren, the route undulates softly along landscaped woodland, viaducts, and rural patches en route to Roetgen, with its classic guesthouses. After Roetgen, the climb continues gently to Lammersdorf and finally arcs towards Monschau, a beautifully preserved timbered town nestled in the Rur valley.
Key Sights and Towns
Aachen: UNESCO-listed Cathedral and Town Hall, lively markets, historic spa quarter.
Kornelimünster: Abbey, cobbled town center, traditional pastry shops
Raeren: Pottery Museum in the moated castle (2.5 km off trail).
Monschau: Historical Fachwerk (timber-framed) Old Town, narrow alleys, Rur river, specialty mustard mill, and vibrant cafés.
Food, Water, and Supplies
Aachen: Extensive supermarkets, water, snack bars
Kornelimünster: Bakeries, small shop, spring water from public fountain
Raeren: Supermarket and bakery (limited hours)
Monschau: Supermarket, bakers, organic shops, many restaurants (Frischmarkt in center)
Water: Readily available, but refill at every opportunity—longer dry stretches follow
Camping Options
Camping Perlenau, Monschau – 1.2 km from the trail, located in a sylvan valley beside a stream, walkable to Old Town; hot showers, bar, and basic meals.
Camping Zum Jone Bur (Imgenbroich) – Slightly north of Monschau, quieter, with clean facilities.
Wild camping not legally possible—use official sites for safety and compliance.
Bike Repairs
Bike Service Station: At Aachen-Brand and on the Vennbahn near Kornelimünster, with air, tools, and minor spares.
Zweirad Offermann, Monschau-Imgenbroich: Closest full repair shop (+49 2472 7395), open most weekdays and Saturday morning.
Connectivity
Mobile network coverage is excellent between Aachen and Monschau. 4G/5G usually available. Free Wi-Fi in many restaurants in Aachen and Monschau.
Cycling Tips
Stock up with at least one extra meal when you leave Monschau; the next large supermarkets are distant.
The first day’s ride is mostly up a railway grade—long but never steep; conserve energy for the final descent into Monschau.
Evening stroll in historic Monschau is highly recommended; the town is busy in August but quiets down after day-trippers depart.
Credit phb
Day 2: Monschau to Waimes / Robertville
Route Details
Distance: ~30 km (depending on camp detours)
Elevation Gain: ~220 m
Surface: Paved, gentle climb followed by high plateau
Difficulty: Easy to moderate; open to the wind across fens
Leaving Monschau, the route climbs slowly along the edge of the High Fens (Hohes Venn)—one of Europe’s last great raised bogs and nature reserves. After Kalterherberg (last German village), the trail enters Belgium proper, passing through Küchelscheid, Leykaul and the evocative station at Sourbrodt (with historic wagons and a light snack bar in summer).
At Waimes (Weismes), detour south 1.5 km to Robertville for the best camping option at Lake Robertville’s shore. Alternatively, some may wish to camp at Waimes if earlier stops are preferred.
Key Sights and Towns
High Fens (Hohes Venn): Wooden boardwalks (accessible on foot), unique flora, panoramic views. August blooms with purple heather.
Kalterherberg: Striking double-towered church, last German supermarket—top up for supplies here!
Kalterherberg: Supermarket ‘Nah und Frisch’—last reliable shop until St. Vith. Essential for provisions.
Sourbrodt/Robertville: Small slagerij (butcher), bakery, ice cream, limited groceries
Waimes: Some bakeries, small grocery, café
Camping Options
Camping La Plage, Robertville: Beachfront site, heated pool, basic shop, popular in August so consider booking ahead.
Note: No wild camping in Hohes Venn; enforcement is strict, especially in summer.
Repair Services
No bike shops between Kalterherberg and Waimes; carry a toolkit and spare tubes.
Connectivity
4G generally available except across the most remote Fen segments; Robertville and Waimes have good coverage.
Cycling Tips
August in the Fens can mean sudden cold snaps and chilly mornings—pack warm layers and check for low cloud or fog.
Start early to visit the Hohes Venn uplands (via side trails) before heat or afternoon showers.
The landscape is remote and exposed; bring water, as fill points are rare between Kalterherberg and Waimes.

Day 3: Waimes / Robertville to St. Vith (Camping at Deidenberg or St. Vith)
Route Details
Distance: ~32 km
Elevation Gain: ~140 m
Terrain: Rolling moorland, woodlands, open countryside; mostly easy riding on smooth surfaces
Resume west from Waimes via the Vennbahn, enjoying vistas of the valley and fenland fringes. The route bends past the cook-smoke of Montenau (try an Ardennes ham sandwich at the Montenauer Rauchschinken smokery), before rolling east into Amel and the Amel river valley.
Continue to St. Vith, a vibrant but compact town at the northeast edge of the Ardennes. There is an excellent campsite nearby; or, if wishing a quieter night, aim for the well-regarded Oos Heem campsite, a bit south of Deidenberg.
Credit phb
Key Sights and Towns
Montenau: Home of the famed ham smokery; good place for a lunch break.
St. Vith: Pleasant pedestrian-focused town, landmark Book Tower, World War II history museum.
Deidenberg: Rural Ardennes village, very near to the Oos Heem campground.
Food, Water, and Supplies
Waimes: Resupply before departure; bakeries and cafes
Montenau: Limited café, but ham smokery is a quirkily local stop
St. Vith: Several supermarkets (e.g., Delhaize), bakeries, and a compact town square with eateries
Deidenberg: No supermarket, but some basic supplies at campsite
Camping Options
Camping Oos Heem (Deidenberg): Praised for its friendly staff, pool, bar/restaurant, and breakfast; just 100m off the Vennbahn route.
Other options: Camping Wiesenbach (near St. Vith), quieter, with pool and restaurant; or official B&Bs closer to St. Vith if weather turns.
Note: Oos Heem can get busy in late August; book online where possible.
Bike Repairs
St. Vith: Several basic bike repair points and sports shops; ask campsite staff for local service.
Connectivity
St. Vith and Oos Heem enjoy good mobile network; Wi-Fi generally available at campsites.
Cycling Tips
The Vennbahn between Waimes and St. Vith is slightly more undulating but remains easy due to the railway grade.
The last few kilometers into St. Vith (after Montenau) are the most remote; ensure you have snacks and water.
Watch for abundant wildlife, especially in forest corridors near dawn and dusk.
Credit phb
Day 4: St. Vith to Burg Reuland Vicinity
Route Details
Distance: ~33 km
Elevation Gain: ~333 m (some steeper sections; tunnels and valleys)
Surface: Paved, descent into the Our valley, with a signature old railway tunnel
Difficulty: Moderate, with rolling climbs after St. Vith and a few steeper grades near the border
Leave St. Vith on the well-marked path, which diverges from the old rail corridor and later rejoins it after Lommersweiler. The cycling highlight is the Lommersweiler rail tunnel, which provides blessed shade and a sense of adventure. Beyond, the route descends into the riverine Our valley, passing through the historic villages of Oudler (watch for a stretch of rougher surface here), and then follows a new bridge crossing the Our (opened September 2023) before rising toward Burg Reuland.
Our Valley: Lush, green, with rare plants and medieval chapels.
Burg Reuland: Ruined fortress; opportunity for a quick walk and panoramic views.
Food, Water, and Supplies
St. Vith: Resupply here; few shops until Troisvierges
Oudler/Burg Reuland: Restaurant and bakery (very limited); fill water whenever possible.
Camping / Wild Camping Options
Camping Troisvierges: Largest legal camping site, in Luxembourg, about 7 km further south—consider pushing on if weather and fitness allow.
Wild camping in the Our valley is not legal, but with discretion, camping close to the border is sometimes tolerated if late in and early out (ask at farms if possible and always leave no trace).
Alternative: Several small B&Bs and a few unofficial “nature bivouac” spots may be available with prior arrangement.
If finishing short of Troisvierges, consult local farmers for tent spot permission or ride a bit off-route to find secluded woodland edges.
Repair and Transport
Limited repair services; ask at your camp or the nearest hotel.
Connectivity
Mobile coverage may be patchy in the forested valley sections; generally improves near Burg Reuland and into Luxembourg.
Cycling Tips
This segment feels the most remote—embrace the isolation, but don’t take risks with supplies.
Tunnel lights become vital; carry front and rear bicycle lights.
Late-day arrival in Reuland provides an atmospheric, crowd-free experience at the ruin.
Day 5: Burg Reuland to Troisvierges (Ending the Route)
Route Details
Distance: ~19 km
Elevation Gain: ~221 m (including short, steeper sections, and a final descent into Troisvierges)
Surface: Paved, railway grade, some challenging gradients in final kilometers approaching Luxembourg border
Depart Burg Reuland and cross the new bridge over the Our River. The route soon enters the last significant tunnel (Lengeler), then climbs steadily (watch for a 10% grade section—brief but noticeable for laden bikes) into Luxembourg. A ‘bat experience path’ on the Luxembourgish side of the tunnel celebrates the tunnel’s role as a bat habitat.
Descent to Troisvierges is fast and scenic, with possible rail traffic on adjacent lines. The Vennbahn trail officially ends beside the train station, where you can celebrate as a transnational cycling success!
Key Sights and Towns
Ouren: The tripoint of Belgium, Germany, and Luxembourg lies nearby.
Lengeler Tunnel: Educational signs, bat displays
Troisvierges: Quiet Luxembourgish town, modern rail station, restaurants, and final campsite.
Food, Water, and Supplies
Troisvierges: Full supermarket, bakery, several modest bistros; stock up on Luxembourg chocolate and wine for the train home!
Camping Options
Camping Troisvierges: Popular family campground; swimming pool, hot showers, generous tent space, directly adjacent to the Vennbahn. Book in advance for peace of mind.
Repair, Transport, and Emergencies
The Troisvierges station has regular trains to Luxembourg, Liège, and onward to Aachen (with one change at Angleur), now more frequent and with improved bike capacity as of June 2025.
Connectivity
Mobile coverage is robust; many riders post their finish-line photos here.
Cycling Tips
For a final thrill, explore the “bat adventure trail” at the tunnel.
Troisvierges trains can fill up, especially weekends—arrive early and buy your ticket from the kiosk (purchase a separate bike ticket).
Day 6: Return/Extension Options
At Troisvierges, most cyclists either catch the train north, retrace their ride, or, for the ambitious, extend the tour into Luxembourg, Belgium, or even back into Germany.
Return by Train:
Troisvierges–Angleur–Aachen: About 2.5 hours with 1 change; buy tickets at the machine (don’t forget the bike supplement).
Weekdays: Trains hourly, 06:00–19:00; weekends every two hours, 08:00–18:00.
Avoid peak weekday rush periods for easier bike transport.
Return by Taxi:
Pre-arranged bike taxis available, especially for groups.
See the official Vennbahn website for the latest shuttle partners and to book.

Vennbahn App: Offers maps, points of interest, and interactive navigation (Apple/Google Play).
Cycling Safety and Tips for Solo Riders
Trail is mostly car-free, with only rare, short road crossings; always observe traffic at crossings and in towns.
Carry a basic first-aid kit, phone with European emergency contacts, and sufficient food/water for remote stretches.
Be prepared for rapid weather shifts—layered cycling clothes, rain shell, and a warm layer for evenings.
Ride with lights, especially for tunnels (e.g., Lommersweiler, Lengeler).
Be bear- and boar-aware in remote forest; rare but possible—don’t leave food scraps outside tent.
Wild camping is not permitted, but bivouacking is theoretically tolerated in case of absolute emergency (e.g., injury, sudden storm) outside reserves; always leave no trace.
Always let someone know your daily progress points, especially through remote areas—cell signal can fade.
Legal, Environmental, and Cultural Notes
Nature Parks: Respect all local conservation rules in Hohes Venn–Eifel and Ardennes; stay on marked trails; no fires except in campfire rings on campsites.
Litter and Toilets: Carry out all waste, esp. if wild bivouacking; use campsite toilets or, if necessary, follow Leave No Trace principles (cat-hole 100m from water).
Language: German, French, Walloon, and some Luxembourgish are all spoken; English is understood in tourist areas.
Conclusion: The Essence of Vennbahn for the Solo Bike Camper
Credit phb
The Vennbahn represents the ideal blend of European history, unspoiled nature, safe and comfortable cycling infrastructure, and cross-cultural exploration. For the well-prepared solo cyclist, particularly one traveling self-sufficiently with a tent in late August, this route delivers six days of gently adventurous discovery. Campsites are frequent enough to make each day’s ride stressless, yet the remote high moors and valleys transport you far from tourist crowds. The legal framework requires use of official campsites, but these are reliably found and well-rated. The essential elements—modest gradients, smooth surfaces, and the security of a well-signed network—ensure that a moderate fitness level suffices, even with a fully loaded bike.
Approaching the finish at Troisvierges, a sense of accomplishment—crossing three countries under your own power, sleeping under the stars to the whisper of birch and beech, and drinking morning coffee as mist rises over ancient railway tracks—is guaranteed.
For more detailed daily route planning, campsite booking links, and up-to-date GPX files, always cross-check the Vennbahn’s official web portal before departure.
🖋️ Leonardo da Vinci: A Tuscan Tapestry of Light and Inquiry observing Nature and people in action. A revised Blog Vignette by Peter H Bloecker (Retired)
Nestled in the folds of olive-silvered hills near Vinci, Tuscany, a boy traced bird wings in the dirt. His fingers, smudged with fig sap and curiosity, would one day redraw the contours of art, science, and imagination. Leonardo da Vinci’s story began in Anchiano—amid the scent of sun-warmed thyme and cicada hum.
🎨 Apprenticeship in Florence: Where Light Met Hand At fifteen, Leonardo entered the studio of Andrea del Verrocchio. Marble dust settled into the creases of his palms as he carved alongside masters, each chisel stroke an invitation to precision and grace. The studio swelled with the aroma of linseed oil and plaster, the quiet scratch of charcoal on canvas. It was here he painted a single angel—luminescent, gentle—he watched and observed, fascinated by nature. Eager to learn.
🌿 Nature as Archive and Oracle Tuscan summers taught him anatomy in the curvature of leaves, flight from swallows chasing the horizon. He studied vines as vascular systems and dragonflies as engineers of air. The bitter tang of olive oil on rustic bread became a meditation; Tuscany fed him not just meals, but metaphors. He was not only curious, he asked why and how, and no one would stop him.
🕊️ The Smile and the Silence Returning to Florence in 1499, Leonardo sketched quietly. The Mona Lisa emerged—half-smile and half-riddle. Quill dipped, parchment stretched, he whispered:
“If light is my language, what does her silence say?” No one will ever know.
Behind her, Tuscan hills roll into mist—the landscape not just backdrop, but biography. An illegimite child born to become one of the most known artists ever.
📚 Legacy Etched in Dust and Ink Leonardo’s notebooks brimmed with mirrored script and impossible machines.
War machines as well.
Quills rasped through midnight, echoing the clang of the bell tower above. Beneath each drawing lay a man wrestling with awe: dissecting lilies, charting rivers, dreaming wings.
His reflection:
“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.” In Tuscany, both spirit and hand flourished.
🪞 A Coda, Shared Across Generations over centuries To visit Vinci or linger before Adoration of the Magi at the Uffizi is to brush the hem of a soul still searching. Leonardo was not merely painter, inventor, dreamer. He was to become a bridge—between idea, thought and form, shadow and light, silence and revelation. A devine and talented artsist.
At night around 12 or 10 degrees C and over the day 22 or more.
Magic happens
There’s something magical about Gold Coast winters: balmy days, crisp mornings, and that perfect blend of sunshine and fresh sea air. July highs average around 19 °C or more, while lows dip to about 14 or 12 °C, making it the coolest—and arguably most comfortable—month of the year for me.
Crisp, Sunshine-Kissed Mornings
Wake up to clear skies and around 7 hours of sunshine, painting the surf and hinterland in golden light.
With an average day length of 10 hours and 34 minutes, you’ve got plenty of daylight for beach walks, markets, or a quick surf before work or brunch.
Perfect Winter Activities
Beach strolls at Burleigh Heads, enjoying uncrowded sands and cooler water (average sea temp is 21.5 °C or even more).
Hinterland hikes in Springbrook or Lamington National Park, where misty mornings clear into sunlit vistas
Weekend visits to the Eumundi Markets or Carrara Markets—fresh produce, artisan crafts and warm coffee
Whale-watching cruises as humpbacks migrate north (July marks the start of prime season)
Even with roughly seven rainy days in June, showers are typically brief, leaving more time for outdoor adventures
Tips for Maximizing Winter’s Charm
Layer light clothing: mornings can be brisk, but afternoons often feel like an Indian summer
Carry a windbreaker for early-morning surf sessions or coastal jogs
Book whale-watching and hinterland tours in advance—winter is peak tourist season
Keep sunscreen handy: UV levels still reach moderate peaks around midday
I love to walk or cycle, longer trips via Motorbike.
Not only paradise for surfers, many Aussies retire at the Gold Coast and love this area with the green & lush Hinterland.

I have been having an email debate for some weeks now with a reader named Chris. He protested when I said that part of the meaning of the word ‘Woke’ is being a bully. He insisted that I show him where the Oxford or some other reputable authority says this.
I pointed out to Chris that part of my role as a language journalist is to report on language changes long before the dictionaries catch up with them. And the key, I said, to doing this is to remember Ludwig Wittgenstein’s dictum that ‘the meaning of a word is its use in the language.’
So, to discover how subtle changes in meaning are occurring we closely watch how words are being used around us and in contemporary media (it’s something all we Wordies do—I’m sure you are as sensitive to language as I am—that’s why you send me such interesting emails!)
Chris insists that ‘Woke’ only means ‘awake to social or political injustices’—which is certainly where the word started. What I think Chris has missed is that those people who are happy to think that they are ‘awake to social or political injustices’ are now completely intolerant of anyone who disagrees with them.
This is the source of ‘cancel culture’—where the Woke refuse to listen anyone who disagrees with them and do everything in their power to shut down the voices of disagreement so that no one else gets to hear from them either.
One of the classic cases was with Bettina Arndt who lectured on domestic violence. And in her lectures, she pointed out that men are not always the perpetrators and women are not always the victims (most of the time, but not always—it is important to remember the male victims of domestic assault). Well, the Woke feminists were horrified—they got her cancelled from university campuses and disrupted any meeting she addressed.
That is Woke bullying—shutting down anyone who disagrees with them.
I fear that the ABC these days employs people who all think alike and is reluctant to put to air voices of dissent. To anyone whose eyes are open, it is clear that Woke bullying is now widespread.
In America, those Woke warriors who disagreed with (and disliked) Elon Musk started firebombing Teslas, and Tesla dealerships.
So, Chris do you understand my point about the reputable role of wordsmithing involves keeping our eyes and ears and open and keeping ahead of the dictionaries? Well, perhaps, Chris does and perhaps he doesn’t.
What about you? Do you think I’ve answered Chris’s objection?
Tonight I will be a panellist on ‘The Sunday Showdown’ on Sky News (8pm AEST).

Navigating Modern Complexity:
The following essay was written and designed as one of my Masterplans on Education integrating deep dive and thinking with reading and writing skills. No AI without these basic skills
Below is an essay that offers a deep-dive comparative analysis of three influential frameworks—Harari’s modern lessons for life, Jordan Peterson’s rules for personal order, and the micro-level transformation strategies of Atomic Habits. This essay is designed to serve as a masterplan for your multicultural, multilingual cohort of top students, inspiring them to integrate global perspectives, philosophical rigor, and practical routines.
My last few Readings summarized:
A Comparative Analysis of Harari, Peterson, and Atomic Habits
Introduction
In an era marked by rapid technological change, global uncertainty, and unprecedented access to information, the need for guiding principles in life has never been more evident. Three distinct yet complementary frameworks have emerged as beacons for personal and societal transformation. Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century challenges us to make sense of a world inundated with information and complexity. Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life emphasizes the personal responsibility required to forge order out of chaos. Meanwhile, James Clear’s Atomic Habits provides an actionable methodology—focusing on the power of small, incremental changes—to build a sustainable, meaningful daily routine.
Although these frameworks originate from different disciplinary traditions—global history and socio-political analysis, clinical psychology and philosophy, and behavioral science—they converge on the underlying imperative of transformation. This essay explores how Harari’s lessons for understanding our global context, Peterson’s rules for reclaiming personal responsibility, and the actionable strategies of Atomic Habits collectively offer a blueprint for navigating modern complexity.
I. Philosophical Foundations and Global Perspective
Harari’s Global Insight
Harari’s lessons speak to the challenges of an era defined by rapid technological innovation, geopolitical shifts, and environmental imperatives. In 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Harari warns that humanity stands at a crossroads—a point at which old narratives have dissolved and new, often conflicting ideas struggle to gain foothold. His approach is distinguished by its scope; it addresses how we interpret history, manage technological disruptions (like artificial intelligence and biotechnology), and handle the interplay of global cultures. Harari’s message is one of awareness, urging us to cultivate clarity amidst an overload of information and to develop a flexible mindset that can adapt to unforeseen challenges.
Peterson’s Psychological and Existential Order
In contrast, Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life narrows its focus to the individual. Peterson contends that the chaos of the external world can be managed by establishing internal order. His rules—ranging from “Stand up straight with your shoulders back” to “Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world”—encourage individuals to assume responsibility for their lives. For Peterson, the path to a meaningful existence lies in the disciplined confrontation of chaos, the acceptance of suffering as a natural part of life, and the deliberate construction of a value-driven identity. His framework is deeply rooted in clinical psychology and mythological archetypes, emphasizing that personal transformation paves the way for societal progress.
Atomic Habits: Micro-Change for Macro Impact
James Clear’s Atomic Habits introduces a practical system for behavioral change. It posits that success originates not from grand gestures but from cumulative, strategic modifications in daily behavior. Clear’s methodology—built on the four-step habit loop (cue, craving, response, reward)—reinforces that tiny changes, when executed consistently, can lead to substantial personal and professional improvements over time. By focusing on identity-based habits, Clear offers a framework where every small decision contributes to the kind of person you aspire to be, turning systematic discipline into long-term success.
II. Identity, Responsibility, and Personal Transformation
The Power of Identity
Both Peterson and Clear place identity at the core of personal transformation. Peterson argues that the way one carries oneself—physically and psychologically—can either confront or reinforce the chaos of existence. His advice to “treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping” underscores the ethical and practical necessity of caring for one’s self as a precondition for ordering one’s external world.
Similarly, Clear encourages a shift in self-identity. His famous dictum that “every action is a vote for the kind of person you wish to become” underscores the cumulative impact of daily habits on one’s self-concept. While Peterson focuses on carving out a morally and psychologically sound identity to withstand life’s inevitable challenges, Clear provides the micro-level actions—habits—that enable one to actualize that identity incrementally.
Global Responsibility in a Fragmented World
Harari extends the discussion beyond the individual by situating personal responsibility within the broader context of global challenges. His lessons emphasize that to thrive in the 21st century, one must understand their role in a complex, interconnected world. Harari’s approach challenges individuals to rethink old certainties and establish new narratives that encompass both local experiences and global interdependence. This perspective complements Peterson’s insistence on personal responsibility and Clear’s focus on established routines, suggesting that individual growth, when scaled, can contribute to a collective evolution necessary for addressing contemporary global dilemmas.
III. Strategies for Change and Adaptation
Adaptation through Awareness
Harari’s insights stress that in a world where the only constant is change, awareness and critical thinking are indispensable. His arguments urge us not just to react to technological or political shifts, but to proactively reframe the narratives that guide our collective future. This intellectual agility is paramount for understanding complex systems—be they ecological, technological, or sociopolitical.
Structural Change through Personal Responsibility
Peterson’s method to confront chaos begins with small, deliberate steps—transforming the individual’s internal and external order. By advocating for self-care, responsibility, and the setting of personal boundaries, Peterson helps individuals align their values with their actions. His philosophy is a call to meticulously structure one’s life, such that personal habits become the bedrock of meaningful existence. Whether it’s organizing one’s living space or reforming one’s speech and posture, his rules aim to instill a sense of purpose and stability.
Incremental Change and the Habit Loop
Clear’s Atomic Habits bridges theory and practice by focusing on the mechanics of change itself. The incremental improvement strategy he details works on the premise that even seemingly insignificant actions, when compounded over time, yield transformative results. This approach is especially relevant in today’s fast-paced world: rather than becoming overwhelmed by the magnitude of change required, Clear encourages starting with manageable, two-minute tasks that slowly build to new, robust routines. His model provides a clear, empirically supported pathway to rechannel personal behavior, facilitating consistent growth and resilience.
IV. Practical Applications in a Multicultural, Multilingual Educational Context
Bringing these three frameworks together provides a comprehensive masterplan for a modern curriculum geared toward intellectual and personal empowerment. For students—from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds—learning both German and English, the following integrative strategies can be implemented:
Curriculum Design and Daily Routine
Global Critical Thinking (Harari): Incorporate modules that encourage students to analyze global challenges using Harari’s lens. Discussions, debates, and research projects can help students understand the impact of global narratives on local contexts.
Personal Accountability and Identity Formation (Peterson): Develop personal development seminars focused on self-awareness and responsibility. Encourage structured reflection through journaling and retreats where students set goals, evaluate their progress, and learn to manage personal chaos.
Practical Habit Formation (Atomic Habits): Implement daily routines that encourage small, consistent habits. Use habit trackers, digital tools, and group challenges to help students form productive study routines, language practice sessions, and mindfulness exercises.
Multicultural Integration
Language as a Tool for Transformation: Emphasize that while the languages of instruction—German and English—may differ, the strategies for learning and self-improvement are universal. Encourage comparative studies that showcase how different cultures approach change, responsibility, and habit formation.
Embracing Diverse Narratives: Use Harari’s global outlook to examine both Western and non-Western narratives, underscoring the importance of plurality in forming well-rounded perspectives. Integrate discussions that highlight how diverse philosophical traditions complement Peterson’s individualistic approach and Clear’s practical methodologies.
Technology and Innovation in Education
Digital Platforms for Habit Tracking: Leverage technology to create apps and online platforms that allow students to track their habits and reflect on their progress—integrating Clear’s actionable steps into their daily lives.
Discussion Forums and Peer Reviews: Mimic boardroom dynamics by encouraging structured debate and reciprocal feedback, echoing Peterson’s emphasis on personal responsibility and the need for community support in the pursuit of excellence.
Conclusion
The synthesis of Harari’s, Peterson’s, and Atomic Habits’ approaches provides an all-encompassing framework for personal and intellectual transformation in the 21st century. Harari’s global perspective challenges us to understand the vast, interconnected nature of modern life; Peterson’s rules remind us that the foundation of change must begin with personal responsibility and order; and Atomic Habits offers a practical methodology to transform our daily behaviors through small, consistent actions.
For students poised to become tomorrow’s thought leaders, especially those navigating multicultural and multilingual environments, these insights are invaluable. Together, they form a masterplan that not only encourages critical reflection and self-improvement but also prepares learners to tackle the global challenges of our time. Embracing these ideas can transform individual lives and, by extension, the world at large—one thoughtful, deliberate habit at a time.
This essay is designed to serve both as a comprehensive academic study and as an actionable plan for elevating daily routines and intellectual frameworks. If further refinement or additional case studies are desired for your specific educational program, I’m here to help expand on these ideas even further, if you wish to move ahead.
Der Kontext hier sind meine (begrenzten) Erfahrungen in deutschen Gymnasien (Bln & Nds) und in Schulen im Ausland (Namibia DHPS und Australien Education QLD und Goethe-Institut Australien) bis 2012.

Ich bleibe vorweg bei der These, Digitalisierung ist kein Selbstzweck: Es geht wie bei anderen Medien auch um einen sinnvollen Einsatz im Lernprozess: Tafel und Kreide dienen der Visualisierung, also ist eine digital erstellte Mindmap nichts anderes als ein gut strukturiertes farbiges Tafelbild. Folglich wird ein Unterricht nicht dadurch per se gut oder besser, indem Digitalisierung integriert wird.
Eine sinnvolle Integration digitaler Medien ist immer anzustreben, je mehr und besser, umso besser sind die Ergebnisse, die darin bestehen, Vorwissen der Lernenden kontinuierlich zu erweitern.
Dazu gehoeren Reflexion, Innehalten, Verarbeitung gleich Verknuepfungen im Gehirn erstellen und vor allem Vermittlung des neu Gelernten gleich Kommunikation ueber das Wissen sprich Gelernte.
Grundkenntnisse eines mentalen Lexikons und seiner Struktur und Arbeitsweise sind dabei fuer planende und entscheidene Lehrkraefte unabdingbar. Eine kontinuierliche Erweiterung ist bei allen Lernenden immer anzustreben: Dazu gehoeren eine staendige Erweiterung des allgemeinen Vokabulars und Fachvokabulars inklusive der wichtigen Metabegriffe und Abstraktionen, ohne die sinnvolles Lernen nicht ermoeglicht werden kann. Unterricht digital oder nicht muss strukturiert sein und darf mit begrenzter und kostbarer Lernzeit nicht verschwenderisch umgehen! Das halte ich fuer sehr wichtig, und es wird nach meinen Beobachtungen leider oft unterschätzt!
Ohne eine sinnvolle Kommunikation sprich Diskurs und Reflexion gibt es keine erfolgreichen Lernprozesse. Anders gesagt: Diese werden ohne Kommunikation im Sinne von Darstellung und Vermittlung immer unvollstaendig sein.
Die Verortung und die Dimension ZEIT sind immer und vollstaendig einzubeziehen: Was heute gilt, kann uebermorgen ueberholt gleich weniger relevant sein. Mit Verortung sind immer die Summer aller interkulturelle Bezuge zu verstehen, die reflektiert werden muessen, soweit das moeglich und sinnvoll erscheint. Gelten unsere Ergebnisse fuer immer, sind sie quasi zeitlos oder nur fuer heute oder morgen? Und gelten sie im Raum des Mittelmeers oder in Japan so wie hier bei uns? Gelten sie fuer alle Menschen oder eher nur Maenner oder Frauen oder nur im kulturellen Bereich Europas? Im Norden und Sueden oder Westen und Osten Europas oder Deutschlands gleichermassen?
Ich stelle mir einen Baum im Sinne Hesses vor, der im Verlauf des Kalenderjahres seine Erscheinung staendig aendert und nicht jeden Tag ueber gleich aussieht: Nachts und bei Sonne mittags funktioniert er ganz unterschiedlich, aber immer ist er verbunden mit dem Boden, hat Wurzeln, und streckt seine Aeste und Zweige unterschiedlicher Staerke dem Himmel gleich Licht entgegen.
Um ihn herum stehen andere Baeume, grosse und kleine, und verschiedene Arten: Er kann allein auf einer Wiese stehen, andere sind 100 m oder auch weiter von ihm entfernt, er kann in einem grossen Wald oder einem Waeldchen stehen. Alle Waelder der Erde sind miteinander verbunden wie auch das Wasser auf dem Erdball insgesamt verbunden ist, zumindest durch die Atmosphaere / Luft / Wind / Wolken / Clouds.
Der Stamm des Baumes hat andere Formen und Aufgaben als die Wurzeln und Aeste und Blaetter: Uebertragen auf Soft – und Hardware bedeutet das: Digitale Medien und ihre Uebertragungen gleich Nutzung oder Gebrauch sprich Wissen und Daten und Verarbeitung lassen sich in diesem Gleichnis lokalisieren: Das Universum mit seiner Energie entspricht den diversen Clouds fuer die Wirtschaft und das Recht und das Wetter und die Hochschulen und Schulen weltweit, die Daten oder auch Information und Wissen verarbeiten und speichern. Der Stamm aller Baueme ist als Gleichnis aller Hardware zu verstehen. Die Anwendungen oder Apps sind Entwicklungen, Tausende fuer die Erfassung von Wetterdaten heute und viele Zigtausende in einigen Jahren. Apps von heute und gestern werden morgen ersetzt durch bessere und schnellere Apps.
Die Blaetter einer Eiche koennten als Apps verstanden werden, sie vergehen und werden durch neue ersetzt, der Baum wird sich aber ueber das Jahr je nach Standort immer seiner Blaetter bedienen bzw. Informationen werden immer fliessen, sonst ist der Baum tot. Auch im Winter lebt er, auch nachts ist er nicht tot, er ruht nur.
Die Sprachen bzw. die Codes zur Speicherung und Verarbeitung von Wissen sind immer in ihrer Ganzheit zu fassen: Englisch geschrieben koennen sie schon heute in allen Sprachen ausgelesen werden. Wenn ich meinen Microsoft Browser Edge auf Deutsch und Englisch einstelle, kann ich deutsche Texte in englischer Sprache lesen und umgekehrt. Jede Schul – Cloud eingebunden in eine europaeische Cloud muss immer vielsprachig sein, zu Beginn in englischer und franzoesischer und deutscher Sprache, dann in allen anderen Weltsprachen. Deutsche Welle und Goethe-Institut und andere machen vor, wie Texte multilingual abgerufen werden, obwohl sie im Original in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst wurden.
Fussnoten:
“Die Sprache ist so alt wie das Bewusstsein – die Sprache ist das praktische, auch fuer andere Menschen existierende wirkliche Bewusstsein, und die Sprache entsteht, wie das Bewusstsein, erst aus dem Beduerfnis, der Notdurft des Verkehrs mit anderen Menschen.” Karl MARX, Deutsche Ideologie, MEW 3, S.30 Hier besser heute: Notwendigkeit!
“Nebenbei bemerkt ist zu beachten, dass die Existenz von bestimmten Prinzipien der universalen Grammatik den Aufbau einer neuen Disziplin der mathematischen Linguistik ermoeglicht, einer Disziplin, in der die Klasse der generativen Systeme, die den in der universalen Grammatik formulierten Bedingungen genuegen, einer abstrakten Untersuchung unterzogen wird. Die Untersuchung zielt darauf ab, die formalen Eigenschaften einer jeden moeglichen menschlichen Sprache zu erarbeiten.”
In a Nutshell:
Folglich sind Metasprache und Wortschatzerweiterungen (Fachvokabular) im Sinne der Arbeit am mentalen Lexikon staendige Aufgabe aller Lehrkraefte in allen Schulfaechern ueber jedes Curriculum hinaus. (Beyond …any curricula).
Sprache und Geist und Denken lernen heisst Wissen vernetzen und Verbindungen gleich Strukturen erkennen.
