why and how - a journey
You don't know what will come because you didn't plan it.
You don't know who you'll meet 'cause you never can.
You only have the confidence that it'll be allright. How,you don't know.
You meet restlessness, impatience, yourself, yourself in others. But also a new peace.
You pull up boundaries. Not out of fear, you just meet them. They're being crossed by people and situations. Sometimes you think until here and not furhter.
You make decisions and you live them.
You walk and your feet walk alone, your head follows and that is so good.
You're not clinging on. Not to people not to things not to thinking. You continue, you look.
You see all the little things that you didn't see before 'cause you were looking for something big.
You breathe and you look.
Where you would normally walk on, you hold still. Even for two seconds longer. You see what happens next.
And fear you meet, fear's always somewhere. You look at it for two seconds longer than before. You see what happens next.
Two eyes, you look at them for two seconds longer than before. You see...
There are no endings, no middles, no beginnings
The day is maybe friday, maybe. Tuesday. 12 pm because of the sun.
Sometimes a Spanish man wants to talk to you all the time. Also that you deal with.
Sometimes it's not going like you want it to go. Also that you deal with.
Sometimes you miss home.
You realise that you're happy. Nothing more.

some inspirations
the book : "led by destiny" from kinga freespirit about her and her boyfriend and their hitchhike journey around the world.
*
an anecdote : A 70-year-old man whose wife died a few years ago, wrote her name on the map of Poland in one uninterrupted line and he followed that line cycling, from the northwest of the country to the southeast.
*
from Amérıca - Cécile Wick :
"A meadow
You walked, you just went out. You did not leave nor are you heading towards something. Now you take a sip from your bottle, smoke a cigarette, you scan the roadside. You did not arrive anywhere, but you are there. A meadow, a wood, a torn twig, a can in the ditch. You never have been here and you have no idea why you stopped here. Nothing invites you. But the empty landscape hums with everything that you carry with you. While walking out nothing crossed your mind, but now everything seems to catch up. You take the twig and draw something in the sand,without any purpose. Later you won't remember any detail of the landscape but you won't forget that moment."
