  1. Another few or more hours later. Returned. Sorting languages, phrases and context. Left some in the morning, some in the garden and maybe forgot some elsewhere along the way. This is still summer, the evening's still bright, the neighbours are still out there on the street chatting about vacations and weather and there's pleasure to be found in listening without actually listening too close. Thoughts like bats, on fast erratic tracks. Infinite monkeys and just a fragile idea of sleep. Have a calm night everyone wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete city #the late hours #half awake half asleep
  2. Several hours later, a temporary full stop and listening to the settling dust. An awesome universe of what seems the acoustic equivalent to microscopic images. Sounds of buildings, structures, a moth on the wall, maybe clouds in dusk sky. Or then again just what seems to be there, in between senses slightly overstimulated and various inner noises too present to even be aware of anymore. Late enough and still lagging behind on a meaningful amount sleep. Have a calm night wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete city #the late hours #half awake half asleep
  3. And then, yery much later: Back inside. Still, a returning into moist, stale mood, feeling sweaty the very few moments after closing that door, putting down bag, getting rid of shoes and at least some clothes. Echoes of late neighbours on the stairs. TV conversations behind some of the walls. Not consciously listening, not too interested, but hard to ignore as well. Some chords in late twilight, dusty keys and even after a few moments failing to find some viable melody line. So seems this day might deserve a break, after all. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete city #the late hours #half awake half asleep
  4. Evening, still or again connected and yet unwilling to accept any kind of cookies at this time of day. Browsing music libraries, stumbling across some old standards to revive but failing to fully resonate with anything. So resorting to text instead, reading between the lines, giving up on things as ones own interpretations of what's unwritten between the lines turn out to be overwhelming and confusing. Maybe this is the hour, again, to conclude, retreat, calm down. Have a soft sleep wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete city #the late hours #half awake half asleep
  5. The later hours the changing of weathers and never ceasing to be amazed by the play of light on the edges of phases of days. Also, in front of a screen still, or again, catching up on some proceedings while the mind's repeatedly trying to break out and get lost wandering through backyard vegetation, across mud and stones. Late bus, drivers ending starting another shift, cigarettes glowing near the crossroad, messages sent, messages received, not all of them in textual shape. Strategies of communication strategies of implementation and the neighbourhood coming to rest. Have a safe night wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete city #the late hours #half awake half asleep
  6. Later again, feeling like a lot but somehow unsure about that. Winter briefly went through again today, cold, grainy, wet, indecisive. The birds are still out there flocking in the backyard trees, leaving the night a noisy and distracting experience. Trying to reach inside for a moment, to find some calm amidst all that different swirling leaves of thoughts. Sleep well everyone wherever you are.

  7. Night motion, hours beyond dusk and slightly dizzy. Deviations, mirrors, corners and ones own shadows on oneself and everything else. Also, elsewhere: Estimates and plans. Unmet conditions. And the oddities of behaviour displayed by software making its way out of predefined environments. No easy fix. But feels like having been there before. (Powering down. Emptying the mug. Facing cold air for a moment. Reading mind and soul for dreams. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.)

  8. Much later again. A change of place a change of worlds, and still waiting for the soul to catch up. Calm skies invisible above sleepy trees, the sounds of meadows and creek and innumerable hidden lifeforms and a distant celebration welcoming the end of this week. Taking a deep sip, from the glass, from the night, from the mood to fill that very moment. Still restless, but at least motionless. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.

  13. 11pm, almost. No more challenges to accept today. Some energy left but merely to shut down the evening in an ordered manner. Books closed. Clothes sorted. Dishes shelved. Prepared what the morning needs, again: Knife, board, mug, bread. Rituals day in day out. Ready for stars in an open sky. Have a quiet night wherever you are.
