St. Pirminius WHAT REMAINS Dialogue between space and time on the position of man Time is comparable to a river, whose purpose is to carry the knowledge about the good life of human generations and to store it in its flow. Dissolved, the knowledge swirls through the river of time and emerge, depending on who wants to be reflected in its waters, as glittering light or so-called darkness. emerge. Pirminius - messenger of faith - gesture - structure, Poem for “moderation in everything”, shimmers from the riverbed of this other world with its credo right into the present, cor dare - the attitude of the open heart. Its light falls on a counterpart from the now - a human child of the present: Bloated, empty of meaning, fleeing from a life of enough into consumption. Frustrated with life, waiting for more and more. What will remain of him - in the flow of time? Glitter or darkness?
