... beyond Diera-Zehren

... with some handsome and beautiful, lovely, colourful, silent, sad but true moments, leaving.

It seems like in a fairy tale. Until early summer 2010: party life, Rock'n'Roll, non/potential guys, work responsibility and friends. Then, crash, boom, bang and here we go!!! Proudly to present: the little prince or "Supermann in Ausbildung". There has been rough and resistant times, trying to see and feel through love & luck. 

The moment I've met him, he was ... Well, it is a little secret.

Now, we are living in Bamberg and Köslau. "Kötzlibu" is a Franconian village with 79 inhabitants, situated in the middle of the Haßberge. 

What do we do, there?

We enjoy our experiments of reconstructing our house (Fachwerkhaus = timbered house) by using smart materials, implementing good heating system, preparing the garden for more or less subsistence living, exploring the woods ... and enjoying ourselves.

And we do Rock'n'Roll, still :~)

    actually, the change came to me ;) did not expect it to be so soon, but ... it happened.

    so we are reconstruction the farm house (around 400 yrs old) with ecological materials, low energy heating, gardening etc. it is a lot of fun and besides that there is much to learn.

    ich hoff es geht dir gut!

the jungle never sleeps

Seit ein paar Tagen gibt es schon keinen Sonnenschein mehr; Schneekristalle schneiden von der Seite winzige Wunden in die Haut. Die Kälte gibt sein übriges dazu. Überraschend und schön am Leben zu sein, verfliegen die Tage doch wie Minuten. Gegen die gerissenen Haut kann man mit einer öligen Behandlung gut entgegenwirken (Weleda, Havtorn, z.B.), einem Whiskey und einem Lächeln - gegen den Schmerz. Manchmal denke ich, während des Schlittenfahrens, wie faszinierend doch das Gefühl ist, durch den Schnee zu schnellen, den Schnee zu hören und auf unbedeckter Haut zu spüren. Eine Welt für sich. Es macht abhängig und verdammt nochmal ganz schön neugierig. ... Und eben genau das ist es, dieses leise Summen, Grummeln und Murmeln, was der Norden mir zuruft. Leva dagen i skolan. Leva dagen i Östersund, ock?

And being alone with time, I decided to travel North. The annual Vintermarknad of Sámi people is taken place in Jokkmokk. It is historically known as gathering of Sámi families to exchange news, goodis and I guess a happening for the youth, too. Ok, going there by night train was an adventure in itself; snorring people and falling children and then, 25 degrees celsius minus and bright sunshine ... Totally lost but truly there with: - a lot of Sámi - amazing tourists - and reindeer races for them - luxery - culture and art - weather - flora and fauna (reindeer) - beart wearing men - yoiks - atmosphere - interesting lectures and discussions - delicious food (reindeer, reindeer kebab, lingonberry marmelade) - and freezing feet ... ... by then it turned to be minus 35 degrees celsius. One night in a hostel and the night train back. The World Rhythm Music Festival in Östersund went by past weekend - and as the North is always performing on high standards it has been again very wonderful wit...

Meißen

So, here I am, since June 1st, official inhabitant of Meißen, Saxony. It happened fast, first attending an energy forum, meeting many different people, sending the initiative application, being invited - bang! - having th job, finding a flat, moving from Göttingen and starting a very unknown new chapter of life. Now, being an official member of the office class, time just moves on very quick - back then, when time was always present, plenty enough for letting the feet do what they wanted to, having too much time, turning and twisting in circles ... now, sometimes it feels that time is like sand: as soon as you dug up a handful, it runs through your fingers - thanks to gravity! The new challenge keeps me busy, exhausted but with full speed, river Elbe whispering into my ears, moving on paths taken by C. D. Friedrich, feeling strange but good.
