Hotel 27.4. Buszkowice - Stary Wolow / Wolow
The Poles are still very very nice to me . Part, I am invited, without a word I, or about 20 words speak polish. And we come along well. But usually there is someone who speaks German or English.
Today was a superintersiver days, as the sun was so pervasive. This is a strong wind, or rather storm. No place to rest, either because too much sun, too much wind or too many mosquitoes.
Last night there was a special experience for me. I looked, as always, after a quarter. Also yesterday, the weather was very challenging about tags. Sun and wind. Then I went through a dreary forest targeted me, the end would not. In my neighborhood find me a man, opened 45-50 years old, he had to work at night, so I could not sleep in his house. The Poles do not let their wives with a Guest alone, or it is somehow not custom .... But he tried to find something for me.
All possible phone calls followed. Including one with a woman who spoke English, so we could tell each other a lot less. He spoke Russian and Polish, I am German and English. Unfortunately, not many points of contact language. Finally, he indicated that his mother, a place will continue to help us. She was very tied in with the church and they will find a solution. So it did.
In the meantime, I got served with tasty dumplings Kartoffelfuellung.
He brought me to the 4 1 / 2 km away Wolow (sister city is the way, Buchholz near Hamburg). Also means that I am today Route had to run back at first, because I do not want walking Luecke on my way.
We arrived there in front of a church. There his mother was standing with about 22-25-year old good looking, clean, athletic young man who had anything to do with the church. What I could not figure out though.
He, Matthew, came to me, would also like to read again my info in polish and was then agreed to try to help me. Again, we got into a car, this time his. The others had already satisfied if the solution adopted. He had a very upright, was about half a head taller and seemed somehow to have to overcome wanted it but with his dignity and honesty . Do He took a deep breath in and out, then turned inward even further on - briefly smoked a cigarette, but with outstanding autotuning :-) - and we were off. Finally we reached a hotel, he gave me to understand that we are now in there. He booked a room, paid, and showed me the room. I was surprised all right, he paid for my hotel room and asks him why he did that. He spoke a little English, said through the aid of sign language and showed a cross, a sign of the cross over her chest, I am the way, it is a sacred way and he would support it. In it I noted a deep respect, appreciation, appreciation of my actions. And in return he wanted me this hotel room . Pay Something about his attitude came from deep in me, and it shook a little in me.
Then I asked, however, for organizational reasons, whether contained in the rooms for the breakfast. It was not and he gave me another 50 Zlotti, which is more than enough for breakfast. I was touched a little embarrassed that I pay such a young Spunt a hotel room. At the same time taken or shaken by his actions and asked him again why he does it. He answered again, because I go this way .....
I was very super grateful and said it several times and hugged him several times. It seemed somehow like a small miracle to me, a Pole, and to a young Pole - and Poland did not make much money - sometimes just as a hotel room and are 50 Zlotti.
I was very moved, shaken, and realized how much are the poles of the Catholic Church and their faith? What the Catholic Church makes this different than, for example in Germany? Why do they reach the people so deeply? Why the message touches people so deeply in their hearts? What has done it, can the Poles believe that low? An entire nation - well, almost an entire people - the so-so deeply share the faith with each other, how wonderful. And to me this young man was so sincere and in dignity.
I spent the whole evening geschaeftigt with his action and its influence me as well and that I could not believe it.
My mind was searching for answers to why he did it. Was it perhaps a Priesteranwaerter? Was it perhaps a problem that he has received from a priest, because of a previous confession? My mind was an explanation. But somehow it was more than what my mind could comprehend. And
Overall I got in Poland for 80 Zlotti given. They are approximately a total of 20 € - but I myself have spent not so much. I have been in Poland yet consumes no money from what I brought or exchanged. Everywhere I get accommodation, food .... The Poles have done it that I am completely fed up to here .... All respect.
I greet you from my heart
Thomas
