july

´ve been for one week in the town i´m actually studying
We visited on day a small castle, which was borrowed from the city (who had no money to renovate it) to a group of 6 friends for a euro per year,- they just have to renovate it bit by bit
any other investor said no cos the costs would be too high, but these friends said lets try it
and moved in with a little circus. Now it is a company of a lot of people all working in this castle and in the park around, the castle is still morbid, but in a very nice way. They made in that beautiful building space for sensual exploration. Lot´s of things about feeling, tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing, working with your sense of orientation, water and fire, ...
There was one amazing room where you could put few sand on metalplates and produce a sound with a violine string by going with it along the corners of the metalplates. As soon the sound was produced the sand jumped up and feel down in filigrane patterns like you can see in snowflakes. These sandlines showed how the audiowaves went trough the metalplate- i was really amazed.
They have there everyday lots of schoolclasses and other groups as visitors to train people to use all their senses again... great thing

Besides that i finished my practical semester, was not so easy to say goodbye to the kids
and to the less or more wonderful chaos i worked in
will miss the broken German, situation humor and everyday stories of the kids
("my nerves are empty, i can´t do homework now", "it´s good for a boy to eat pizza and fries, girls shall eat fruits", "Iran is for men, Germany is for women", "your head is beautiful"- did i tell that i got a pink oversized shirt for my birthday from one of the boys...:-)

met a woman who is doing indianic dances in Denmark which are good for world peace,
we had great talks about friendship, living together, and crazy stories of live (go by lifts!)

i love my living commune,
we finally finished our self made leather flip flops, made a gallery of big black-white-photos of the profile of our deformed stomaches in the bath room, cooked "holundersirup", i sprayed my first selfmade stancel and we still take care that our flat is full of flowers and coffee fragrance

Will go this weekend to beautiful dresden
and then some old, old friends and i will spend some days on an old farm on the country side just to do nothing than talking, eating, listening to music and hugging each other a lot- we won´t come together so young any more

hope you all enjoy your travels
have a blessed summer
