Sport

Schwimmen tut gut & gibt ne super Laune.

Heute zum ersten Mal das Schwimmbad vor Ort besucht. Irgendwie gefällt es mir. Trotz seiner Geschichte. Trotz der Kurzbahn. & trotz dieser unsäglichen Schlüsselbändel die sich beim Schwimmen von selber lösen. Aber die Atmosphäre war gut. Nicht ganz so angestrengt wie in Zürich, & es ist hell, mit grossen Fenstern, ebenerdig gelegen.

Und gestern abend gabs Yoga. Eine halbe Stunde vor dem Zubettgehen. Tut so gut. Vor allem meinem verspannungsgeplagten Rücken. Plötzlich wird alles warm & weich & biegsam & die Zellen lebendiger. Herrlich. Will schauen, wie ich diese Abendsessions regelmässiger in mein Leben einbauen kann. Mit relativ kleinem Aufwand grosse Wirkung erzielen. Entspricht eigentlich ganz meinen Vorstellungen. Wenn nur, nun ja, wenn nur nicht alle diese anderen Dinge wäre, die ich auch gerne mache & die halt bei Vollzeitarbeit auf die Abendstunden fallen.

Reisen

Manchmal erledigen sich Reisen ehe man sie angetreten hat, weil das, was man zu finden hoffte, sich bereits während der Vorbereitung klärt.

Kaffee am Morgen

Der Latte M. heute morgen war voll bis zum Rand mit Schaumhäubchen oben drauf. Da haben wir also mehr als genug, und einen Moment länger als sonst Verweilen beim Kaffeestand.

Frühlingszeichen

Und plötzlich sitzt der Vogel nicht mehr auf dem kahlen Ast, sondern mitten in der Blütenpracht. Vielleicht wirds ja doch mal noch Frühling. Who knows.

Mittwoch der dreiundzwanzigste

Diesmal wars geschüttelt & gerührt.

Wir bleiben ruhig & gefasst.

Geht alles vorbei.

Eins ist sicher: es kommt alles wie es muss. Geht nicht anders.

Compassion

This evening I stood in the tramway next to the two bags full of letters I was carrying to the post office and watched an elderly man entering the quite empty tramway. He wasn’t really secure on his feet. He opted for a first seat but did not like it. He turned into the other direction & walked past me. My first impulse was to tell him to immediately sit down, as I knew, that he would fall down as soon as the tramway would start moving.

And so it happened. The tramway made a sudden move forward to stop again and in the next moment there was commotion behind me and the man lay on the floor. He needed assistance and was helped by several passengers. I took over command for a nanosecond, then let go. Probably, I should have gone for a short inspection of his knee when he was sitting on a seat, but I left that out. It was too obvious, this call for attention/assistance, somehow. So I let it be. Although, one should never let a possibilty out to help another soul no matter what it’s intention were. That would be compassion, wouldn’t it?

Spiders Showing Up

The first sighting of a spider I had two days ago when I sat down in the evening to do some spinning in my crafts room. There it was, precisely in the corner. I wondered from where it had come. And whether this was the announcement of an invasion of those eight-legged creatures for this year’s summer - to which I would actually have to veto. I am not afraid of them and they do not scare me, but, well, too much is too much, specially when it comes to cleaning and getting done with spider webs.

This morning when entering the office, there was the second one dangling outside the window from the corner. Hm. Second one. Is there going to be a third one, too?

Acting in the moment

Yesterday evening the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, I found two teenage girls standing outside, selling tiny fiber creatures stuffed with something rather heavy, probably sand, for an international aid organization. I wasn’t really in the mood of buying anything but as I spotted an interesting color in the box with the creatures, I acted absolutely mechanically, went for my purse and got back to check the animals. The bright blue color belonged to a dolphin-like fish. And so, I asked it in and gave the money to the two girls.

Sometimes, you find a twinkle where you did not expect it.

Rattling

The earth shook today, so far 9 times, with magnitudes from 4.9 to 7.5 quakes. The quantity of so many quakes might not be so uncommon as one might think, but that all happened in the same area and in rather quick succession, is a little bit less common. The most interesting point about these quakes is the name of the area in which all those quakes took place:

Loyalty Islands

Might it be that loyalties soon are going to break down & things that have been concealed so far become apparent, evident & tangible?
