enjoy, feedback's welcome :)

..travelling..

i've been away from my place since 6 or even 7 weeks now, cause i had to go to berlin for to work on a christmas market which, after first doubts, turned out to be some kind of important experience for me. i took care of the kiosk of a friend of mine, a potter, and sold his ceramics. spending almost 11 hours a day at the same place with the same people.. with hundreds, maybe thousands of faces, strangers, so many impressions- puh.. exhausting, but sooo interesting. and i met a couple of really impressing people there, (..i call them just 'relatives' :) ) who i became befriend with- i'm pretty happy about this and further lots of things changed again, on my mind, as it always is used to be when you're somewhere else. so, so nice.

now i'm in slovenia again, spending some time with my boyfriend there, enjoying our time. we visited venice for new years eve (..i loved it again..), discovered a lot and .. almost too much. laughing, talking, silence.. now i'm looking forward to get back to my work again, processing, working- put different things into practice. but still, several things are missing- and i'm wondering if it'll ever be like you don't miss anything in your life..!?

some of the photos (..yes, i also have been working hihi ;) ) can be seen below.

when do we really get to go
first you must go walking on your own
maybe then we already are home
row row row your boat
gently down the stream
row row row your boat
gently down the stream
gently down the stream now
gently down the stream

..a wonderful painting is the result of the feeling in your fingers. if you have the feeling of the thickness of the ink in your brush, the painting is already there before you paint. when you dip your brush into the ink you already know the result of your drawing, or else you cannot paint. so before you do something, "being" is there, the result is there. even though you look as if you were sitting quietly, all your activity, past and present, is included, and the result of your sitting is also already there..

(D.T. Suzuki)

..i'm on my way all the time.. again i had to confess i cannot just be at one place, in my life.. i need this changing of places, moods, atmospheres, people, ... and although it all could be better in general, i feel so happy.. i think i've met the most beautiful being i've ever met in my life- which doesn't mean that everything's totally fine, but it means sooooo soooo much.. an inspiration next to my silent inspirations, some kind of drive next to my own one.. i'm working, i just am, although i have no money i keep on and follow my very own path- and it does so good, it makes me feel so happy and i hope that this will last, 'for more than just a moment, for longer than just for now.. :)

don't be downcast, soon the night will come,
when we can see the cool moon laughing in secret
over the faint countryside,
and we rest, hand in hand.

don't be downcast, the time will soon come
when we can have rest. Our small crosses will stand
on the bright edge of the road together,
and rain fall, and snow fall,
and the winds come and go.

..and check out my profile on myspace- to check out more.. looking forward to see and meet you there :)

..a foretaste..

new photoproject, new experience, new impressions, new expression ;)

sorry, folks :)

oh ooooh..
sorry for my absence- but i needed (and maybe will need it some more time..) it- urgently ;)
i neither wanted to make anybody feel worried about me nor just to cut and run.. but thank you for letting me know and care- it's a good feeling and it always reminds me of how i felt and feel if there are some posts i miss, some personal stuff of my 'virtual friends' i cannot read..

life's full of surprises and unforeseeable things.. since i'm back in my hometown so much happened.. and so much still is happening.. to be honest, i even neither know where to begin nor where to end. the last weeks i spent in prague and slovenia. i'm still filled with all those impressions, light, experiences, people and .. so much more.. since i'm here, in goerlitz, everything went its way, and athough i believe in the run of events lead by some kind of universal energy (..not meant in a esotheric but in a spiritual way..) i nearly can't believe what's happening right now. of course, bad days and dark clouds still reach me but at the end everything's turning out to be the best and right what could happen. strange and surprising somehow. found a workshop: a place where everything fits, a new place to work, a new place where i feel comfortable and free to work, to let myself go and also to give myself into another kind of sphere. so the week after next week i'll move again, probably, with all of my stuff.. i'm looking forward to all what comes, i'm looking forward to finally be able to work and push all those things forward again. i've started another kind of project, which means i've rediscovering an old passion of mine, which is black and white photography. and, in particular, i'm hunting shadows and reflections. i'm already preparing an exhibition on my mind, combined with more visual things, music, percussion, and moved images- but: we shall see.. maybe more to come..

anything else.. ..aaaaah- it's about the best flat i could ever find- and i've found it by chance :) all fit in every way- and i feel so comfortable to finally have been found a space to live where i just feel like home, to close the door and be alone in a way which is supposed to be felt like that.. (..if you know what i mean ;) ).
anton's also better concerning his social life- he meets a lot of friends (doggy and human..) and we're spending a lot of time together walking along the cosy streets of the old town or through the meadows on the polish side.

looking forward to see and read again about all of you, internet still is not working at my place at the moment so it may take a while till i really be back :) exercise patience, please :)

that's it, anni! for now, endlessely ;)



did I see you down
in a young girl's town
with your mother in so much pain?
i was almost there
at the top of the stairs
with her screamin' in the rain.

did she wake you up
to tell you that
it was only a change of plan?
dream up, dream up,
let me fill your cup
with the promise of a man.

did I see you walking with the boys
though it was not hand in hand?
and was some black face
in a lonely place
when you could understand?

did she wake you up
to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
dream up, dream up,
let me fill your cup
with the promise of a man.

will I see you give
more than I can take?
will I only harvest some?
as the days fly past
will we lose our grasp
or fuse it in the sun?

did she wake you up
to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
dream up, dream up,
let me fill your cup
with the promise of a man.

..happiness..

a part of mine arrived, feeling some kind of happiness i think :)

there is this first night in my very own realm which i've been longing for since two years now. feeling entirely comfortable, filled with a cosy warmth i nearly can't get. must be a dispensation that everything has come as it is now, so it's not that bad if i'm never going to get it, no? - grin -

time to rest, time to just be - finally !
