40min in the train watching the landscape pass by. 30min in a bus watching the landscape pass by. 5min at the terrace watching the night-waves at San Servolo island, Venice.

I mirror myself when I do nothing. That is the main impact. I cannot escape I am suddenly there to watch. Gently.

I am a son. And I give birth to myself on that ground.

Very good. Precious time. Just having a landscape being pulled in front of your nose, you wanting to do nothing with it is sooo soothing and inspiring.

[collapse title=”Before/While/After”]
BEFORE: Driven. Packing. Making me and the flat ready for leaving. Tense, but giving space an time still. Unusal, normally I am more hectic and unhappy.
WHILE: Very good, indeed. I liked the small mirror experiment which immediately showed something. We do not look in the mirror normally to „speak“ to ourselves, but to use the mirror for a purpose, beauty, hygiene etc. To use it for what it is – to see that you are THERE – is a nice exercise; living and LOOKING at it directly is quite intense.
AFTER: Good. Had no longer the impact that I felt on that day, but at least was something and I am not forgetting it or disregarding the experiment. I digs in. It starts to spread some impact, more slowly – I feel even though I can´t really tell what it is exactly…

Sitting on one of my favorite places at Peilstein, a famous climbing wall near Baden, where i can look into the distantness and follow the aircrafts and their jetstreams with my eyes… I can hear the very far sounds of cars fading away.. The world stands still: At last! I was able to call her to halt…

Happiness and contentness are here in every moment, i only have to tune in, becoming the witness, and all is ok…

Who am i in reality? I am the witness. The world out of me is permanently in action, but coming home to the present moment calms her down and also me in an instant…
