"Then you'll definitely be taken!"

...said the 2nd year apprentice in the library specialization at the Humboldt University in Berlin to me when we took the elevator to the top floor for the interview after my "test run". The view from the very top over the exceptionally beautiful Berlin in the middle of April was fantastic.
My test run, in which I was to fetch two very different non-fiction books on two different floors in the Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum only with the help of a piece of paper on which the locations of the books were noted, also went very well. The supervisor and time stopper, namely the trainee with whom I had contact all morning until the end of the entire interview, told me that no one had ever found the two requested media so quickly and brought them to the desired location as I had.
I remember both media well; one was a short essay about the need to save the climate now. Otherwise there would soon be no more habitable earth. The other book was from after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but dealt with a very old-fashioned topic: "Negro music is the key to the decay of the West!". Both monographs I skimmed briefly to get an idea of their content.
Arriving on the top floor, I opened one of the tilting tall narrow windows - the April day in Berlin was lime-scented and somewhat earthy, just as Believe is for a long time - and said in jest to my guard, " What if I hop down here now?" It was all a joke, he had the scare, I had the fun.
The conversation then went not so fun, but that is now also no matter. Long live the lindenblütige liveliness of Believe on an april beautiful day in Berlin or elsewhere.
