Cold Start

One month goes by quickly.

More so, when you constantly experience something new. And this month is not one that’s lost in time, quite the opposite.
I think I have done many things for the first time, in a way, and have taken unexplored paths inside my brain.
This might be the key to time: The more memories (memorable moments) you have, the more you have made of your time.

It is exciting to live in a different place and shape your life around new circumstances. And I have to say: Those circumstances are pretty neat and that I am grateful for.

Even though being in a new city, I have not gone out as much as I would have liked.
That is because of the cold and the grey that waits for you outside. But still, I have done a fair share of wandering and loved it so far.

I even went through the struggle of keeping my hands out of my pockets and on my camera.
The discomfort and pain paid off, which I would like to share with you today:

The days are still short, but on some there is enough light left after work to explore the sights around.

And oh, what sights they are!

I also have a nice hill to climb right on my doorstep and after going up in the dark once, I knew what would be a nice view in the day.

This one goes out to those who like to look at the stars and beyond.

 

In the end, the fierce winds blew me back inside, but I will face it again anytime for this!

Wide World – Small World

The world we live in is wide.

Once we leave our confining spaces, the walls are gone and every step we take changes our perspective. We experience something new and find ourselves in new situations we can learn from and grow.

Sometimes the world seems so wide, we forget to pay attention to the details. These can be as small as one pixel, I like to call it.

Ever so often, when you look closely, the seemingly ugly and unpleasant thing can be of astonishing beauty and wonder.

Life works just like that: Sometimes there is twists and turns and you need to find something to focus on in all the hullabaloo.

Maybe you will find that these little things also reflect this wide and wondrous world, as small as they might be.

It is okay to explore the small world, to see what escapes the eye so easily, to understand the finer structures of the wide world we live in.
