New post: "The Blinkered Bridge"

Franz Hessel walked through 1920s Berlin seeing everything and registering nothing political. At the Sportpalast, Nazi and Communist rallies became "the same unceasing lust for life." His practice of connecting everything flattened the boundaries between things that are genuinely different.

First sight has a shelf life.

Wie wär's - habt ihr Lust? Dann begleitet mich doch heute wieder bei einer kleinen musikalischen Schlenderei in die Nacht.
Für Alle, die spät abends wach liegen und noch nicht schlafen wollen oder können gibt es entspannte Musik zum runterkommen.
Wie immer live ab 23 Uhr auf https://hearthis.at/chrizzmusic/ und natürlich später zum Nachhören.

I just sit. Or I walk and walk.
Or I stand somewhere looking at one spot.
And it seems to me as I stand here that I am totally disconnected from the rest of the world around me. Nothing, absolutely nothing connects me with it.
The world around me goes on being busy, conducts its wars, enslaves countries, kills people, tortures. The real world...
My life till now seems to have slipped through this real world without participating in it, without caring about it, without any connection to it. Even when I was in the very middle of it, I wasn't really there.
My only life connection is in these scribbles.
Here I stand, this moment, now, with my arms hanging down, the shoulders fallen, eyes on the floor, beginning my life from point zero.
I don't want to connect myself to this world.
I am searching for another world to which it would be worth connecting myself.
