Not all walks are about steps… some are about coming back to yourself

From Hill Road chaos to Bandstand calm,
from noise to stillness,
from thoughts to clarity…

This is where I pause.
This is where I reflect.
This is where I feel alive.

(Out in the cold, returning. Dried grass, remainders of snow under bushy remainders of last autumn. Navigation by streetlight rather than by stars even though sky would be clear enough for that. Strangers nearby, familiarities afar. The mind, as a collection of standby states.)

We don't know either. A lot later and the day slowly retreats. Collections of obscurities, a list of roughly outlined tasks, relevant steps in the process still missing and unsure how to follow up. Cleaning up, just to watch things getting messy once left alone for a few moments. The miraculous aspects of complex systems to show off again. No sleep so far. There's a right time for everything maybe. Have a calm night wherever you are.

Finally, concluding day and weekend with that fragment of an hour, standing in an open window frame and letting the new dark flood into these quiet rooms. Noise from the pub, the scent of food and the chatter on the sidewalk, near the bus stop, make the evening seem earlier than it actually is. Spotlights tracing skies. Random fireworks again because no reason too small for that. Letting time pass, readying for the week, common procedures and the usual mood that's never wearing off. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.

10pm and on. Having a shower a haircut a shave, way less glamorous than an act of self-care and yet in a way leaving one in a somewhat lighter, reliefed, refreshed mood. And finally, there's an idea of wind breathing through the bushes and trees of the backyard, merging into the busy noise and conversations from a dozen of balconies that remained open wide to capture a bit of cool evening air. Too: Unsolicited messages. Undesirable offers. A filling mailbox, waning patience and more filters in place to keep these things from polluting thoughts already flooded with input. At least, it's good to know what not to respond to. (Have a night of deep dreams everyone, wherever you are.)

Closing in on 10pm again. The sound of cautious steps on the floor just behind the wall. A voice is trying to sing a child to sleep. Modestly successful. Elsewhere, someone seems to have given up on practicing violin today, trying flute. Same skill set. But a bit more challenging to the ear (maybe though just because this is today not yesterday). Balconies next door are bearing chains of coloured lights again, like out of the nowhere of the dark seen the last weeks. (Also: Wrapping envelopes around a few more e-mails. But at least leaving the stamps to others.)
