Und schließlich wieder angekommen. Der Regen war länger unterwegs, aber schließlich fand er sich auch wieder ein im selben Viertel wie der Körper, der noch auf die Seele wartet. Ortswechsel mit kurzem Takt. Gleichsam hier und dort und irgendwo und nirgends.  #outerworld #concrete_city #rain_and_other_kinds_of_weather

3pm and on with the wind and the road. Schedules and destinations, staying focused in face of all the input to process along the way. Concrete and a few puddles, a thick forest of green bushes left and right of suburban crossroads. No rain, little sun. #outerworld #concrete_city #afternoon_deviations #moving_on_moving_fast

Hinter der Mittagslinie blicken die Augen auch heute dichtes Wolkengrau, einige Vögel, die in Schleifen und Kreisen durch den böigen Wind gleiten, und das Durcheinander einer Baustelle, deren Arbeiten voranschreiten, ohne wirklich einen Abschluss zu finden. Wieder richtungsloses Sinnieren über Bildersprache und Umwege. Passwörter erneuert, Zugangssysteme verändert, höhere Mauern, scharfere Kanten und nur ganz wenige Wege vereinfachen sich mit der Zeit. #outerworld #concrete_city #home_office_hours #the_weather_in_days

(A little and still what already seems hours later and the day's still mostly about clouds and indecision. No shortage of loose ends to pick up, but usually priorities are a challenge, as are responsibilities in setups of distributed collaboration. Resorting to focus on the very next step, as the best that could be probably done.) #outerworld #home_office_hours #concrete_city #stories_of_planning_and_communication

Und wieder weniger Film auf der Rolle, als die Nacht hätte vertragen können. Löcher in Handlung und Logik, nicht einmal die Nebenfiguren überzeugen, aber zumindest an Ausleuchtung der Szenen gibt es wenig zu bemängeln. An einem neuen Morgen hängt die innere Wertung in denselben abwegigen Metaphern fest, für einen Augenblick versucht man von diesem Umstand auf andere Gegebenheiten zu schließen - und gibt schließlich, erneut und ziellos auf. Kaffee, Brot. Plan. Mitten in der Woche und irgendwie doch auch nicht. Habt es mild heute.  #outerworld #concrete_city #waking_to_the_day #the_early_hours

Similar yet different.

And another evening, following a day that went by like the wink of an eye. Different hour same sleepiness, and the kids in the other appartment seem to have a late night too. Wrapping up what has been started along the hours, trying to exchange the old air in narrow rooms and find some chords to resound the current mood. No good results in both. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete_city #the_late_hours #close_to_sleep

Graustadtvorabend, Teepot und Staubsauger. Manche Form zu schaffen benötigt andere Kraft, aber manchmal sind die Ergebnisse schneller sichtbar, auch wenn manchmal schon kleine Änderungen Unterschiede machen und sich diese Erkenntnis seltsam anfühlt. Nachbarn schließen Fenster. Neuer Regen treibt herüber vom Fluss.  #outerworld #concrete_city #evening_deviations #a_chores_line

4pm and on, gradual slowdown, overwhelmed and short of breath. Words and fragments like particles of dust dancing in the afternoon light. Stories of glitches and worries and always some imposter to pay thorough attention to every move.  #outerworld #home_office_hours #concrete_city #where_we_do_what_we_do

(Mittendrin. Reisegeschwindigkeit kurz verlassen, um am Rand der Strecke in den kalten Nachmittag zu hecheln und sprachlos zu beobachten, welche Eile die Wolken heute über die Stadt südwärts treibt. Wechsel zwischen eigenen Betriebszuständen. Kratzige Stimme. Kratzige Gedanken. Aber zumindest ansatzweise so etwas wie Form.) #outerworld #concrete_city #home_office_hours #along_the_way

(Still trying to align that mismatch between real and perceived time: A bright sky spanning a slowly waking neighbourhood, mind's unsure whether to feel tired again or still and then it's not even close to 7am. Getting into shape, breakfast, fresh air. Setting a somewhat comfortable stage for the hours to come.)  #outerworld #concrete_city #home_offiice_hours #stories_of_technology_and_communication

Wieder zu spät nochmal eingeschlafen, aber zumindest einige der wilden Gedanken im Zaum gehalten. Wieder in der richtigen Minute, der falschen Stimmung aufgeschreckt, den Puls spürt, den Atem gehört, bis die Dinge langsamer, die Bilder klarer, die Wirklichkeiten stiller wurden. Nacht beginnt und endet mit dem Schließen von Bustüren, Pendler brechen auf, im Treppenhaus klappern Schlüssel, eine Stimme gähnt, die eigenen Hände tasten über das Gesicht, kratzen über die Stoppel und Konturen, als gälte es, durch Abgrenzung das Selbst wieder einzufangen. Wahrnehmungstraining vor dem ersten Kaffee. Habt es mild heute. #outerworld #concrete_city #the_early_hours #waking_to_the_day

Closing in on 9pm. More rain, but this time as a haze of drops, barely visible to the eye but to be felt immediately. Crows in the trees, an evening bus arriving. Tourists, suitcases, a cab, the usual bunch of locals heading for the pub. Monday evening. Unsure again and again whether they're about to spend their evening there because or despite of the day. Maybe it doesn't make much of a difference. Pondering weeks, plans, intentions and habits while the sidewaks get used to reflecting late light. Have a safe night everyone wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete_city #evening_deviations #rain_and_haze

(Weiter, nicht nur im Text, aber auch. Aus den Gebirgen über dem Horizont wird eine blasse endlose See, die Wetter spielen miteinander und den Sinnen und der Wahrnehmung der Welt und lassen die Unruhe des Pendlers zurück, der zwischen begonnenen Aufgaben und einer trockenen Heimkehr schwankt. Auch ist immer irgendetwas deutlich komplizierter, als man will und braucht: Ungemach von Lizenzmodellen, Kostenstrukturen, Abrechnungsmodellen. Fortgesetzt unzufrieden mit den Dingen.) #outerworld #concrete_city #afternoon_deviations #office_hours

Early afternoon, a few close-to-idle momens while shifting mental gears and switching between different topics. Old code, old documentation. A lot of history all piled up, loosely knit and yet inseparable. Cleanup tendencies on different levels. Sometimes the most important thing about this is managing impulses and guide them into more productive directions. A strong wind to open terrace doors and fiercely close windows. People over there having their lunch outside, nevertheless. Decisions and resilience. And clouds, of course. A whole lot of clouds. #outerworld #concrete_city #office_hours #where_we_do_what_we_do

(The morning too, as that particularly unsettling period in every day where new sun starts reshaping what got vague and fragile about the self along the path before dawn and one's so unsure about things. Getting clothes, bag, gear right. Setting marks in the weeks agenda. Not sure about the first step though. Heading on.) #outerworld #concrete_city #commuting_returning_and_in_between #office_hours

Der Morgen, immer wieder das Ende merkwürdiger Filme, kein Abspann, viele Pausen, Dissonanz auf der Tonspur. Ein bewegtes Puzzle, das die Formen verändert, sobald ein Teil passt. Also Nacht aus den Augen waschen, Kaffee kochen, seltsame Ideen für elektronische Ablenkung durchspielen und verwerfen. Und dann Kaffee. Tag wird von ganz alleine. Habt es mild heute.  #outerworld #concrete_city #waking_to_the_day #the_early_hours

Savouring the colours of slow dusk again. A cloudy day later, city chose to go with clear skies and all the lights sundown is able to display with the passing hours. Neighbours in backyards neighbours on balconies, a scent of different kinds of food and smokes and the sound of glasses and bottles leaving mind and soul in a strange but soothing summer evening mood and there could be worse things to keep the new week at distance for a bit longer. Be safe on your way into dreams, wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete_city #evening_deviations

Betonstadt, dann wieder: Zufahrtsstraßen, alle Spuren dicht. Man wartet. Gartenstille. Ameisen auf Schuhen, Händen, Nacken. Neue Farben, viel mehr Dickicht seit der letzten Duldung hier draußen. Und schließlich Rückzug. Eine Kurve, der Fluss. Am Eck verkauft man wilde Blumen. Der Nachmittag ist ruhig und lau. #outerworld #concrete_city #afternoon_deviations

Selber Tag, weiter hinten, unter anderen Wolken. Das langwierige Einschwingen auf gemeinsames Verständnis, wenn die Begriffe keine abgestimmte Bedeutung haben. Kommunikation als Herausforderung, als Prozess, manchmal als fehlende Superkraft. Der Hochstapler nippt an seinem Kaffee und grinst. Baustellenkrach, Kleinteiligkeiten und plötzliche innere Hektik, wenn man gewahr wird, wie weit man hinter den eigenen Zeitvorstellungen hängt. Das Modell denkt und weiß auch nichts Besseres. Das Problem ist immer der Fragende. #outerworld #concrete_city #home_office_hours #where_we_do_what_we_do

(A short step outside. Construction workers near the crossroad. A technician taking care of the engine of one of the machines. Dried puddles near the sidewalk, a few remains of blossoms, yellow lines of pollen on dark mud. Tourists and late kids waiting for the next bus. No winds, no sun, this morning clings to its limited palette of colours.) #outerworld #concrete_city #home_office_hours #mornings_in_between

Gewohnte Abläufe, in gewissen Verfassungen: Zu früh wach, immer wieder. Nochmal tief einschlafen, viel zu spät; irgendwann dann Aufschrecken mit dem Wecker und aus Decken und Kissen fliehen und in die Dunkelheit der Zimmer stolpern und Katzenschatten ausweichen und gewisse Schwierigkeiten erleben bezüglich Orientierung in Raum und Zeit. Und dann kommt man zu sich, zum Spiegelselbst, zu den Gegebenheiten des Morgens und dem Plan und den dornigen Gräben links und rechts und hat schon Kaffeewasser angesetzt, ohne recht zu wissen, an welchem Schritt dieser Stunde. Auch das gewohnte Abläufe, an jedem Ende der Woche. Habt es mild heute. #outerworld #concrete_city #the_early_hours #waking_to_the_day

Later the evening, earlier that night. Listening to outer noises inner voices and the frequencies in between concrete and clouds. Stories of plans and deviations. Some things always work better than others and some take longer and amidst this, time passes quickly. Inbound complaints on a sidetrack, known environments, unknown services discovered, no points of contacts and no clear paper trail. Surrounded by a fog of old information within an ever-flowing stream of news difficult to handle. Unsettled. Filing an issue, for better or worse, and making sure the right tabs are closed afterwards. Balconies, chandeliers, two bass guitars and a cigarette and this is how things move, consistent yet slow. Sleep safe everyone wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete_city #evening_deviations #the_sounds_of_early_nights

(Schnelldurchlauf vorwärts, rückwärts. Wenn Gespräche über Themen springen und zurückfinden, bekommen Mitschriften ein Eigenleben und die Fäden sortieren sich in ein buntes Gewirr, stabil und schwer und ohne gute Einstiegspunkte. Und dann schalten die Kopfhörer. Die Sinne erkennen Feierabend auf der Baustelle und ganz plötzlich ist still entlang dieser Straßen.) #outerworld #home_office_hours #concrete_city #where_we_do_what_we_do

Und wieder Morgen, als Zeitpunkt und Zustandsbeschreibung und knapp hinter der Wochenmitte fiel kein neuer Regen, in den Höfen widerhallen die Geräusche der Frühaufsteher sowohl in den Wohnungen als auch in den Bäumen und es gibt schon jede Menge Gespräche, aber Wichtigkeit und Inhalt erschließen sich nicht. Lauwarmes Wasser läuft über Handgelenke Hände Finger und eine Etage weiter unten surrt der Ventilator des Badezimmers und wer jetzt nicht mehr schläft, hat die Träume der letzten Nacht schon wieder ad acta gelegt. (Kaffee. Blicke auf die Uhr. Blicke auf die eigene innere und äußere Welt. Und kurz vor dem Schritt in dicht beplante Stunden. Habt es mild heute.) #outerworld #concrete_city #waking_to_the_day #stories_of_that_deep_silent_void_just_before_dawn

An unknown yet substantial amount of moments later, an unknown and possibly irrelevant amount of insights later, it's about to be night again. Resting on the floor, feeling like sleepwalking but without sleeping or walking and there's something confusing to that. Browsing the music library at hand, exploring the unknown and feeling content getting nowhere. There's no need for that right now, anyway. Sleep well everyone wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete_city #evening_deviations #where_we_do_not_sleep_yet

Diese Nacht begann in dichtem Regen, wandelte sich zu einem Rauschen auf Dächern, in Büschen und durch alte Fallrohre, blieb Rauschen ununterbrochen bis zu den ersten Tonfetzen des Weckers, die fünfte Stunde zu beschließen. Wasserleitung rumpelt, kühl weht der Morgen durch den Flur, die Sinne finden sich stückweise wieder ein. Knapp vor dem ersten Kaffee, ungewaschen und noch ungewandet. Wichtigkeit von Anfängen. Habt es mild heute.  #outerworld #concrete_city #waking_to_the_day #the_early_hours

Very much later: The roads in between, moving here to there and back, collecting moments in mind and soul and wondering whether there's a limit to daily cognitive capacities. Still a bit too fast, but closing in on rest in smaller circles. An image of trees in front of nightsky, bats more felt than seen, and the late day terrace life a little more quiet than the days before. A few chords, a tuneless song and night all over. Sleep safe everyone wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete_city #evening_deviations #where_we_are_we_are
