Der Nebel haengt tief zwischen den Huegeln am Meer und seine kalten nassen Finger dringen durch die Kleidung und tief in die Knochen. Langsam bekommt die Haut einen gruenen Schimmer, wird feucht und durchsichtig. Es rinnt aus den Haaren und von den Schultern, wunderliche rote Pilze wachsen hinter den Ohren und alle Geraeusche rund herum bestehen aus Tropfen. Tropfen in Pfuetzen, Tropfen auf Blaetter, Tropfen auf feuchtes Moos und glatte Steine, Tropf, Tropf, Tropf...
Kein Wind bewegt die Naesse und die Lungen fuellen sich mit Feuchtigkeit und unter den Schulterblaettern oeffnen sich Kiemen. tropf, tropf, tropf.
Es schimmert gruen, opal gruen, blau, grau, weiss und gold gelb. tropf, tropf, tropf.
Neue Haut zwischen Fingern und Zehen, Moos auf Haut und Kleidung. tropf, tropf
Ich atme eine letzten Atemzug feuchter Luft, dann spring ich mit einem hohen Satz vom Felsvorsprung zwischen den Huegeln in die blau gruenen Wellen, hinunter unter die weissen Gischtkaemme zu bunten Fischen.
Hier werde ich abtauchen, bleiben und schweben bis lockende Sommersonnenstrahlen ins truebe Dunkel reichen und mich wieder hinauf locken.

Vorbilder
Diese Woche ist arbeitstechnisch anstrengend und eine Herausforderung.
Ich habe einen Kollegen um Mithilfe gebeten, da es im Alleingang nicht zu schaffen war.
Er ist eine wahnsinnige Hilfe und es fuegt sich nach und nach jedes Puzzleteil.
Ausserdem ist er einer dieser Menschen, die ruhig und stark durch das Leben gehen. Ich denke es gibt keine Lebenssituation in die er nicht passen wuerde, keine Menschen mit denen er nicht auskommen wuerde. Er verbiegt sich nicht, steht zu sich selbst, muss nicht irgendwie gross auftreten oder ein Image kreiren.
Er ist einer dieser Menschen, der andere dazu angeregt, das beste aus sich herauszuholen, Drama zurueck zulassen, alle Masken abzustreifen, zum Kern zu finden.
Er ist authentisch.

Blizzard
Ireland is hilarious when it comes to cold and snow. Storm Emma is to bring a foot of snow and severe winds. Fair enough. People are urged to stay indoors and ensure their neighbours are fine. Fair enough. But I am actually working from home these days as public transport entirely shut down (a day in advance). This feels ridiculous since the storm only started now and my little sea side town has no snow yet (well very little). But given the bad road clearance record and the ,it will be grand, attitude of many Irish People this all seems to have a point.
What I don't understand are the completely sold out shop especially bread shelves (slide bread) in advance. As if not other food exists anymore. How much bad bread can you actually store and eat? Is vegetable soup or stew or chicken curry not so much nicer? Or porridge? What's wrong with porridge?
To be stuck at home having to work without an office, with a husband who is already bored and walks through wind and weather to just escape for a while and a nearly 5 year old who usually spends half his day outside, but has a severe cold and is excited about the promise for snow, is a challenge in itself.
Additional it does not help to be premenstrual near a stocked up fridge working on a project that is tricky. Will power where are you?
I decided to defrost my freezer while depositing the last remaining contents on the balcony and made a hilarious discovery. My son had deposited a snowball in the bottom drawer. Snow here is rare and it looks like he made sure he can always look at snow.
2nd I discovered that it is not quite as cold as I thought, so I am sitting here now, working away while demolishing half a pint of Ben&Jerry Caramel Ice Cream. Premenstrual me is happy, tomorrow me might cry.
Sure it doesn't snow to often. Let's make a feast out of it.

Tell me a little story
People have an aversion to gossip. I love gossip. I love stories. I try to find the essence
, the thread, the connection. The one that started million of years ago and will end...
Stories are not words, you find them everywhere. The aborigines know what they are talking about.
I love looking at painting, landscapes, pieces of music, clothes, images, watch people working, read stories, blogs, .... You ll know when something is good, carries on the thread, connects, enhances, is strong. It resonates deeply within one.
I look at the painting in the gallery and I trust.
I listen to a piece of music and I understand.
I watch him work and I love.
I met my man about 14 years ago. He was not what I hoped for or wanted, but everything I needed and wished for. We could not be more different and alike the same time.
We clash regularly as we make sense of the world in a different way, but he has a gut feeling for the world, a deep wisdom and knowledge that is older then today. It terribly attracts me.
If you want to know somebody watch them work, sense their connection. I always felt it the strongest with people that work with their hands, trades people, crafts people and people working with people and stories.
My son asked me, what and who is God. I answered, you will know.
I don't believe in religion.
I don't believe in trends..
I believe in the story and in the connection.
I believe in kindness.
I believe in texture and fabric.
I believe in sense and sound.

To have the balls in one thing, make them fly the other
Jonglieren
Fuer ein paar Sekunden fliegen alle Baelle wunderschoen rund und gleichmaessig durch die Luft, dann kracht alles polternd zusammen. Ich fluche heftigst und freue mich doch riesig, denn nun weiss ich, dass ich es kann und es weiter ueben heisst. Und wer weiss, wenn es dann richtig rund laeuft, koennte man ja vielleicht noch ein zwei Baelle hinzufuegen.
