Moment of Zen #13 (for July 14, 2009)

Don’t slumber your life away!

Thursday, 2:02 p.m.
A wonderful sunny warm Pentecost-weekend lies ahead of us.
I’m sitting in the train diagonally through the Ruhr Area.
Outside hedges and trees, streets and cars, buildings and skyscrapers fly by.
And what do the people do?!
Regarding this unbelievable plurality of our beloved homeland and wallow in euphoria?
Oh no.
They sleep!
Everyone’s sleeping!
Earnestly.
I mean honestly. What the-
Is it due to the occurring weekend? to the time of day? to the season? or to this grey weather?
Look around you! The so called “carbon-pot” as it is called by natives, however is damn beautiful!
I use to take this roadway every day as well – and I still just can’t get enough of it!
