My parents once told me, soon you will have a little sister.
I said
I don’t believe you, prove it
So they bought a cot, baby-proofed the fridge, the toilet, bought a mobile, toys, diapers.
Came home one day with a noisy bundle that took up far too much space in my life.
And I learnt what it was to make room for another.
And I was skeptical no more. Read More

Ernst Bloch: Prinzip Hoffnung (Auszug)
Hat er [der Mensch] sich erfasst und das Seine ohne Entäusserung und Entfremdung in realer Demokratie begründet, so entsteht in der Welt etwas, das allen in die Kindheit scheint und worin noch niemand war: Heimat.
Your great-grandfather had sailed to England in 1874. He had never intended to stay, and returned to India after six formative years of medical training. His mother had collapsed with relief when she saw him, having conjured up images of his life unchained – an English wife, an affected accent, the intoxicating allure of the freedom and excesses of the west. But he was an Indian through-and-through, a loyal son and later, dutiful husband and father. He spoke fondly of his time there, recounting his experience of rarefied collegiate life, his adventures in London, youthful escapades that would titillate his children and grandchildren. Read More
Mëmëdheu
Andon Zako Çajupi
Mëmëdhe quhetë toka
ku më ka rënurë koka
ku kam dashur mëm‘e atë
ku më njeh dhe gur‘ i thatë
ku kam pasurë shtëpinë
ku kam njohur perëndinë
stërgjyshët ku kanë qënë
dhe varret q‘i kanë vënë
ku jam rritur me thërrime
ku kam folur gjuhën time
ku kam fis e ku kam farë
ku kam qeshur, ku kam qarë
ku rroj me gas e me shpres
ku kam dëshirë të vdes
Mutterland
Übersetzung: Harun Roci
Mutterland heisst die Erde
wo ich zur Welt gekommen bin
wo ich geliebt habe Mutter und Vater
wo mich kennt auch der trockene Stein
wo ich mein Haus hatte
wo ich Gott kannte
wo die Urväter waren
und die Gräber, die sie gruben
wo ich aufgewachsen bin mit Krume
wo ich gesprochen habe meine Sprache
wo ich Geschwister habe und wo auch Wurzel
wo ich lachte, wo ich weinte
wo ich mit Freude und Hoffnung lebe
wo ich mir wünsche zu sterben
(gelesen am LitUp! Irrlicht Heimat?)
Home is within the Self.
All voyage brings us there.
To be aware of welcome
We would have been sharing
Our love. Now departing
From distant shores we find
New ways toward the start
For home. Loth to leave behind
Adventure, yet singing
Of eternity, we find
Balance which joy in Self brings.
Homecoming then feels fine.
– Fay Slimm

Herbstzeitlose
Pink explosion
Zurückhaltendes Kaminrot
Geheimniskrämerisches Blassrosa
Ungezähmtes Blutrot
Abdankendes Dunkelrot
Naives Kanariengelb
Stumpfes Orangebraun
Du fragst: Bist du passiv-aggressiv?
Ich antworte: Jetzt schon.
Tiefes knalliges Wildrot
Schrumpeliges fahles Altbraun
Kannst du mich hören? Ich kann dich nicht verstehen.
Funktioniert es jetzt? Kannst du mich jetzt hören?
Ich kann dich nur sehen, aber nicht hören.
Lass es uns noch einmal versuchen.

I’ve been here already. just five minutes and three posts before. But the story is always changing. Whenever one is set back to an earlier input, there’s another output. Another answer to a previous asked question. So know, where’s the difference to time. A tree in a forest. A something due to other somethings | Because it can. | Because you can. You know. |
