Today I walked into the front of the Cafe Mitte in Basel, the Nonfumare, and at a table in the morning sun sat sparkling and lovely my good friend and housemate from Ytter Eneby, Rose! Oh how good to see her! And next to her sat Che, a friend who always turns up in the unexpected but just fitting moments.
Rose is here to be here and to see friends to be here with. I am here to be here, to work here, to finish off my life here and to feel my way out here, into the new period that is lying ahead of me, Sweden, Järna, Ytter Eneby.
Seeing Rose makes me feel so close to Ytter Eneby, where I will be going back to in 3 weeks.
Sometimes I would love to beam back and forth, make my double life possible in one place, reduce the homefeeling I have in many places to only one place, in order to stay there. Put the security (inner and outer) that Switzerland gives me, into a pretty little bag and take it with me wherever I go. Pack up the conversations and inspiration I experience when I see my friends from Basel and from Berlin and plant them else where, make them grow wherever I end up going. And most of all: where I end up staying!
But no, this world works otherwise. I have to keep saying yes to some and having to say no to other things, I have to chose and chose wisely. I have to say goodbye here in order to say hello somewhere else. And most of all I have to get used to only doing one thing at a time. Then life is beautiful. And whatever I have to say goodbye to today I could possibly say hello to another time. In the meantime I am in the right here and right now and I will enjoy it! And will take time for each thing I do. A lot of time. Even more time. Because life is beautiful and rich when I take the time to discover it!
Ser fram emot...looking forward...Vorfreude.
