Enjoying the warmer day here where I know it, even if only for a moment. I didn’t have much time to stay, just a short pause between everything I still need to get to, but somehow it was enough.

The kind of place that doesn’t try to hold you, doesn’t demand your attention, it just lets you exist there for as long as you can. The hills, the scattered houses, the quiet distance stretching out in front of me — all of it exactly the same, whether I stay five minutes or an entire afternoon.

I sat down for a bit, felt the grass, let the air slow me down just slightly. Not completely, not enough to forget where I’m going next, but enough to remember that I don’t have to rush through everything without noticing it.

It’s a strange balance, being somewhere beautiful while already half on your way somewhere else. But maybe that’s enough too. Maybe it doesn’t always have to be long or perfect or fully yours. Sometimes a brief moment is all you get — and still, it counts.

Unter zerrissenen Himmeln. Kurzer Austausch von Freundlichkeiten in der Kühle des Mittwochs. Nachbarskinder, ausgegrabene Steine direkt vom Fluss, ein Stock, an dem Moos und die Spuren von Biberzähnen begeistern. Das Wichtige ist manchmal das ganz Kleine.

Anderes Streckenmaß, heute. Treiben lassen mit den Stunden. Der milde Vormittag zieht Menschen an den Steinstrand, etwas weiter am Kutter trifft man sich zu Kaffee und Backfisch. Milchig leuchtet der Himmel. Das Licht wird wieder stärker, wärmer. Blühende Haselnuss, Schneeglöckchen, einmal mehr schimmert Frühling durch den fadenscheinig gewordenen Winter.

Close to 10am. A white sky, a pale sun. Most of today flooded with the various sounds and tones that meld into one dense, comforting noise so close to the sea. Touching base at the lighthouse. Wondering how residing up there might feel like, always between the waves and the coastal forests, always with both and always keeping a reasonable distance.

11am and going. Preparations done. Clothes changed. Lighting the candles again. Waiting, welcoming.
