Wochenzettel 18,2: ‘[…]boooaoooaaaahh!’

No time for procrastination. This week almost everything happens in one’s own head and the new year starts with the independent filing of the housework. Hard to believe that pure thinking can mean such a physical effort. You read the seminar texts again and again, trying somehow to transmit what has been read, to abstract, to repack it in order to be able to clarify it understandably for others.

The texts and the ideas contained therein continue to develop in the head, parallels to other areas of life emerge, allow a different view of things, only to contribute one passage later the completely contrary aspects to the inner intellectual process. At some point you have reached a point where you almost feel at home in the theories. They can be linked with each other and their interaction becomes more playful. One learns to recognize where there is still room to elaborate theories and for which facets of life they are not or no longer applicable.

The own vision for the chosen medium in the homework feeds on all these considerations splendidly, becomes founded and develops somehow to a possible reality in which one has his share.

However, the real brain-cracking part is yet to come: This wonderful conglomerate of 1000 thoughts must now somehow fit on a single and suddenly extremely small DIN A4 page… When is summer again? Shouldn’t I be vacuuming again?
