Hedge witch hedge witch walk the edges of this world
My bicycle hums while it carries me through the late morning air, already heavy with the promise of intense late summer's heat.
We're on our usual round: left at the ultramarine blue bench, down into the meadow, past the house with the huge almond tree, wonderful summer flowers and wine crawling all over the shed - a spectacle of colours any time ( Read more... ) -
A kinder kind of fire / the calm after the burnout
We've been here for more than a year now, where the small village church right next to us tells us the time, where the gravel trucks and cockrows are each morning's alarm bells, where flowers and fruit and thunderstorms are bountiful and we light a fire in winter nights.It's been nearly two years since I gave the system its last chance to keep me ( Read more... ) -

a moment - yesterday
Running down the stairs in the late Sunday morning to get fresh bread rolls for the flatmate breakfast. Clear sunlight streaming through now all see-through windows in the stairwell, and I love this skirt.
I stop, heart pounding, suddenly surrounded by rainbow shards - The sun hits the chandelier on the ground floor. -
Urban comment of the day
For a few days now I felt vaguely annoyed by the new deodorant ad campaign plastered everywhere, particularly Bhf Deutz/Messe, my major commute station.
Today I walk by and see a large sticker on top of it, beautifully sticking to the colour scheme of the ad:
"Sexistische Kackscheiße" (Sexist shit).
Thank you very much for that, Cologne, thank you.

Fortification
So we've been conned out of 320 Euros. We were beind kind and naive and much too trusting in the general goodness of humanity. While I still believe humans tend to goodness when they are not put under pressure, I have to face the fact that humanity is indeed under pressure ( Read more... )
