Over the horizon


Slowly suffocating reality with all the freshly built roadblocks, limiting movements and directions, creating chaos and uncertainty. Who wants that? 

Yearning to see above and beyond the horizon, to explore the unlimited space is building up like a pressure that must be released. 
Are we the prisoners of circumstances or just of our own selves with all the fears and doubts clouding judgement, impairing decision making, stifling hopes and dreams that seem so unreachable but also incredibly important and meaningful not to pursue them against all odds, without looking back...

Who knows what is what and what should or shouldn't be. 
One thing is crystal clear - giving up is not an option.
The voice inside won't be silenced as killing it would only mean the death of self, final breaking point beyond which life would be just a mechanical repetition of expected motions, senseless in itself however precisely correct they may be.

The need to be truly alive is what draws us to go distance, searching for something that's only ours, keeping hope in all the dark hours that light is still out there even if we can't see it, not yet and at times not ever.
Something beyond the immediate and routine, something bigger and brighter and with the meaning beyond easy reach, just one step over the horizon.

    Many people follow the motto: "LIVE NOW" - Sure, but ignoring the past would make us make the same mistakes again and again, leading into a circle which actually influences the present as well as the future, which will be the past of tomorrow. So if we look at the horizon we look in the mirror of our whole life ! ;) /cheers Rainer

In the pitch of night, speeding further away Blurry images melt and merge To create an elaborate patchwork and stay Long after they seize to surge Chasing crazy wind, on the edge of nerves Exhausted with dangerous path With uncertain dreams of the times to come  Where the day at a time is enough

A walk in time

Image
Is it possible to have a nostalgia for times you haven't lived in or being too young to remember?.. Why is it then your heart aches a little at every appearance of certain scenes or sounds of music tune?.. Memories of the past that aren't even yours. How is it even possible to relate this much?.. Is it something imprinted in your genes... Once in a while you long to return there, walk the streets, smell the air, feel the vibe, see people at the peak of their youth... A surreal time travel where anything is possible in an excitement of anticipation. Stepping in, finding your way around, siting in a small cafe on a warm summer afternoon and watching people go about their business, all the while knowing you are just a guest, a visitor, an occasional passerby and roads are open to you in any direction. Walking familiar streets and seeing them in a different light. Listening to an old song in its first release. Watching a movie though knowing the ending and still be surprised. Enj

Beauty

Beauty is illusive.  Sometimes you need to look for it using all your powers of observation. At times it is unexpectedly striking and edgy, taking your breath away, almost painful to look at.  It's baffling and surprisingly disturbing, leaving long traces of contradicting emotions on its wake.  O n other days it's simple, soft and mellow like an afternoon light on a shortest winter day reassuring you of spring coming eventually and giving you patience to trust and wait. Like pages from an old letter of a dear friend you haven't seen in years, cosy and comforting in its permanent presence.  One thing is certain - it's out there, obvious to the eye or hiding in shadows.  Looking for it is always a discovery of something new that escapes superficial glances.  The inner light it gives to all shapes and colors of all things that surround us. It's like finding something to warm your heart in the darkest of moments, something to hold on to, like a life prese
