A Happy Birthday salute to Bruno Gröning (May 30/31, 1906 — January 26, 1959), mystic and faith healer."Bruno Gröning compared a person with a battery. He believed that everyone burns up vital energy. However, new energy to replace it is often insufficiently absorbed. In the same way that an empty battery is incapable of functioning, a body without energy is also unable to fulfill its tasks. He believed the consequences to be the cause of fatigue, exhaustion, nervousness, anxieties and finally, illness." direct quote source (1)
"It is so important which thoughts a person absorbs, for thoughts are energy." - Bruno Gröning
"There is much that cannot be explained, but nothing that cannot occur." - Bruno Gröning
Today is the birthday of Joseph Stein (born May 30, 1912), playwright. He best known for writing the books for such musicals as Fiddler on the Roof and Zorba.
"Joseph Stein's book for Fiddler on the Roof represents the author's best known and most successful work in musical comedy. It was one of the last big successes in an era of great musicals on Broadway. Following its debut on September 22, 1964, at the Imperial Theatre, Fiddler ran for 3242 performances, achieving the longest run for a musical up to that time. This success was ironic considering the play's producers' initial fears that, due to the ethnically based story, the musical might not appeal to a broad audience." direct quote source (1)
