Sitting 10min in a Starbucks next to a Matcha Latte end looked at the scene around me. Walking 40min with my doingnothing co-creator NT in Vienna around Mölkerbastei.

Broaden your vision take in a whole scene without concentrating on details. Best with a mirror somewhere including your presence. Walking with a fellow DN researcher is a special quality, opening microgates into your own world and the other.

Hmm, I am supercalm when in the right DN mood. Lying down when I want to, hugging trees when I want to. Doing whatever I want to. Climbing up somewhere. I am curious and see details others do not see. Or is it the DN? Asking a stranger for directions, like where to go but not telling where for what goal or destination.

Very very good. To do DN with NT is a special occasion showing us on what we base our focus. Being playful with others. I am more than NT, even though I learned it from NT. Big Fun.

[collapse title=”Before/While/After”]
BEFORE: BEFORE: A bit distracted. Sitting in Starbucks waiting for Norbert. Not really working and not really relaxing. 10min out of boredom and wanted to structure them to get into a working mode.
WHILE: Fine. Opening up and catching my flow of thoughts and judgements about people. Trying to not be distracted by any girl walking by in tight jeans or a short skirt. Failed. Made me moderately joyful, but to short to get into a flow or DN buzz.
With NT very good. Exploring a small well known area in the setting sun around Schottentor. Very slowly. Encounter with a steep staircase, trees (hugged), a super-nice plant with big leaves, very soft and friendly ones. A hidden garden part next to the staircase down again to Schottentor, a restaurant in the second inner courtyard, a small pony on the floor, an exotic lime form North America which grows in Hungary, and the guy who donated a basket to the restaurant owner.
AFTER: Very good. Happy with the walk and the communication. Both very excited. That is DN! Went on to have a drink in a posh bar. Culinary delights and encounters from the other kind. You could count that in almost, we did not do much there, or solve something, it sort of went on. Did our encounters always have this quality and is this a singled structured and institutionalized attempt to open up these playful dynamics to all the people?

Went for a 30min. city-walk with my favorite co-idler Herwig, i was curious about a possibly new experience in a well-known environment.. And it was! We entered kind of a wormhole, never been in this 2. courtyard behind! the “official” courtyard.. Strange… We met a hungry Hungary from the Netherlands, who showed us his indian Oranges, which he brought to his friend, the patron of this house… Walked for a beer to the famous Beaulieu..

DN is the prerequirement for Innovation via free spirit – new perspectives and synchronicities occur, you find something what you didn`t search for… I also can call it “cosmic guidance”

Two by two it`s more fun, i`m much more attentive and therefore more open
