Switch for silence

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Switzerland, Thinking, Yoga

  Sitting at the lake and trying to bring calm into my body. No way. Head is working. Where is the switch? Thinking of the yoga teacher and remembering a yoga posture. Body in quiet pose, head trying to concentrate on the breathing. Head rotating. Not finding the switch for the breathing. Giving up. Feeling […]

At the moment being

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Consciousness, Thinking

  Drinking my morning tea, I’m thinking how I’ll manage the new website at work and to whom I’ll have to write my first email. Riding my bike to work, I’m thinking that I forgot to tell my little boy that his violin lesson will be starting earlier than usual. Logging into my computer at […]

Careless

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Consciousness, Switzerland, Thinking

  It has been a lake, an evening and a warm summer night. My boys and me enjoyed this moment. We three felt secure, fearless and careless. There were just a few birds talking before going to sleep. And us three looking at the twilight sky. The picture records the moment and my feelings. Fortunately, […]

Time stood still

  Normally, he is talking like a waterfall. But then, he was lying there. The little surgical intervention with a general anesthesia went well. I sat at his bed and waited until he woke up. I was looking at his chest, following his breathing. I was looking at his face during hours, studying his little […]

Little universe of thinking

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Thinking

  It is a small world, my little mossy universe of thinking. A lot of tiny thoughts are turning their rounds; some are coming and disappearing as soon as they arrived. Some are turning and going round and round and round. It is difficult to have the big picture. I am crawling, moving my arms […]

Playing myself

Posted Leave a commentPosted in People, Thinking

  My kid played the role of the Puss in the boots. It is a wonderful fairy tale about having nothing and getting everything. The only condition is to play well your role. Well, I admit this is a rather simple interpretation of the story. But it seems to fit to a program I encountered […]

Here or there?

Posted 1 CommentPosted in Thinking

  I am standing in front of the gate but I’d like to be on the other side. I imagine it to be more interesting over there but it is only in my imagination. I don’t have any real experience. So many times in life I find myself dreaming of being elsewhere. If I try […]

Being prince and princess

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Thinking

This is my prince I want to kiss. Will he be my man? He will be bright, beautiful and sensitive. Very simple, isn’t it? Kissing the frog and starting a relationship is very easy, too. What seems to be more complicated is certainly all what comes after. I wish my prince to be different than […]

Big picture with holes

Posted 1 CommentPosted in People, Switzerland, Thinking

  Is it better to be concentrated on the moment and the details in life? Or is it worthwhile to have the big picture in mind? When I see the big picture, I see all the details which aren’t the way I would like to have them to be. It is like a Swiss cheese […]

A long tightrope walk

Posted 8 CommentsPosted in People, Switzerland, Thinking

  Being a member of a society, being part of a team at work, being a member of a family, being a tiny part of a bigger organization means adapting oneself to the others. If I don’t feel like doing it, the sooner or later I get the information, I am not accepted by the […]
