Titel 2: Wie kann man das
Theater verlassen, bitte?
Gerade als ich dies schreibe
ist Mittwoch, der 20.06.2018, Sommersonnenwende, der längste Tag im Jahr. So
ungefähr…denn ganz so präzise und genau auf einen Zeitpunkt festzulegen ist
dieser Moment der Sonnenwende wohl doch nicht, -laut astronomischen Fachartikeln.
Aber egal, von nun an geht es also wieder stetig bergab mit der Tageslänge und
damit auch mit der Sonnenenergie. Immer schön rund auf der Bahn um sich selbst
und um die Sonne, - bzw. elliptisch vollziehen sich die Lebenskreisläufe. Und
kein Punkt auf dieser Bahn ist weniger wichtig als der nächste oder der
vorherige oder irgendeiner sonst. Es sei denn man schreibt ihm Bedeutsamkeit zu
und gibt ihm einen Namen, beispielsweise indem man ihn „Anfang“ oder „Ende“
nennt. Weil dem so ist sind Übergänge vom Einen zum Anderen oft unmerklich
fließend, man merkt es kaum…und dann ist plötzlich alles anders.

Titel 2: How can I leave the stage, please?
This floating phenomenon might be called “everyday life”. Could be
soothing, structure providing. Could also be somniferous, benumbing. Like for
example the often nerv wrecking everyday life theater of human relations.
Surely you know the feeling of being forced to take part in the same
theater play over and over again, everyday? No matter if that play is performed
on private stage or at work, people seem to be astonishingly comfortable to
take on a certain role and stick to it with invariant consistency until they
drop. As soon as one of the co-actors has given his cue or set a trigger the
show will start, like a well greased engine gets into motion on the turn of the
ignition key. These shows often are very exhausting and dramatic for all
participants and it makes me think that life could be so much easier and
more pleasant without this particular mechanism. I also don’t get the impression
that people are actually having a lot of fun with their role (with exceptions,
as always), some really seem to suffer playing their part...but nevertheless
keep playing it.
This raises some questions, like: Who wrote the script? What role am I
playing in it? Am I just a viewer or maybe even the director? And if this is
the case, - can I leave the stage, please?
Additionally I realised that my co-actors stick to their part with an iron
grip, even if I change my conduct and my role in the play along with it.
Doesn’t that mean I would have to leave the building and the current ensemble
altogether in order to quit the play and get out of this particular script?
This of course leaves me with the apprehension that if I leave the first
building, I might step instantly into yet another theater and another play...or will it all be part of the original first screen-play?...
Where’s the producer? I want to make a complaint! J
A happy new sun-year to all of you! Keep riding the circular…er…elliptic
wave!

Titel 2: How can I leave the stage, please?
The date while I am writing this is Wednesday 20th of June
2018, summer solstice, the most elongated day of the year. Well,
approximately...apparently it’s not that easy to precisely determine the exact moment
of summer solstice, as it is outlined in astronomical journals. However, from approximately
this day onwards days are going to get shorter and sun energy will decline. And
that’s it: everything is moving on a circular path...or an elliptic
path...around itself and around the sun, where no spot or ecliptic coordinate
is more important than its neighbour or any other spot at all, unless of course
we attach significance to it, for example by calling it “beginning” or “end”.
Because of everything being circular (elliptical J), transitions are usually
more of a gentle, floating kind, sometimes hardly recognisable for us...and
than suddenly something is different.
