Incredibly Ordinary Moments

Welcome to Incredibly Ordinary Moments!

Here are some moments I captured in words. You will find peaceful atmospheres, cute little creatures, ordinary surroundings, and special situations. You are welcome to just relax, close your eyes and listen to them being red to you. Or read them yourself - as you prefer. I hope they will take on little journeys into a small differnet world and allow you to absorb those incredibly ordinary moments.

Dear Reader,

I want you to stop. I want you to stop and watch, inspect and wonder. I want you to take a deep breath, open your eyes, and observe. What do you see?

Do you want to know what I see? I see people running around, busy, chasing after something they can't even name. Running around, led by fear, in the full believe that if they stop, for only a second, they will miss out on something immensely important. They might miss the ten thousandth follower, they might miss someone else's rave and have a just sightly less good time than somebody they don't even know. They might miss the perfect once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to find happiness and fulfill their dreams. But wait, what was their dream again? Right, that's something they can't tell me very often. Sometimes it's someone else's wish, something they think others expect from them, or simply the only thing they can see in front of them.

But I will let you in on a little secret, my dear reader. A secret I want to share with you because I believe that it is going to change how you see the world.

Now, I invite you to join me on this trip through some incredibly ordinary moments.

Rising

Something had woken me up, but I couldn't detect what it was. I looked at my phone and sighed, it was only six thirty. I got up and went to the bathroom. Still sleepy, with my eyes half closed, my gaze found its way out the window and I stopped mid-way, exhaling with an impressed sigh on my lips. A big grin quickly and firmly found its way onto my face, stretching from one ear to the other. And suddenly I was glad something had woken me up so early. I quickly grabbed my sunglasses and took a chair. I lifted it through the open window, placing it right in front of it and me on top.

Tiny Feet

She is running with caution, carefully placing one foot in front of the other, balancing her light weight to ensure she stays on her path. It might look like an easy undertaking, but this is only the case because every muscle in her body is trained for this. She is mastering obstacles with ease, always keeping aware of her surroundings and potential threads. The bark is rough underneath her feet, giving her grip and guiding her. She is following the exact same direction in which the branches grew a long time ago. There is a leafy obstacle coming up right in front of her. But no problem, a swift swing to the right and she is back on track. She can feel the sun on her back, smell various scents in the air, and hear sounds from far away and close by - forming her very own impression of this very moment.

Loved Ones

I am being gently pulled out of sleep by one of the most wonderful sensations I could wish for. A breeze of fresh air is softly stroking my cheek. My eyes are still closed but I know immediately where I am. The usually quite common morning disorientation stays absent and instead a feeling of belonging spreads through my veins. A warm hand is what has woken me up. It is slowly gliding around my waist, pulling me closer into an embrace full of love, warmth, and safety. Still half asleep, I can feel his soft touch moving slowly from my left waistline over my stomach, and underneath me, slipping between my right waist and the bed sheets. He lifts me up, just the tiniest bit to move me closer.

Tore zu anderen Welten

Der kleine Felix setzt sich zu seinem Opa auf den Schoß und fragt ihn nach einer Geschichte: ,,Opa, Opa, erzähl mir was.", sagt Felix aufgeregt, denn er weiß, dass Opa immer spannende, ja fantastische Geschichten auf Lager hat. Opa nimmt Felix auf seine Beine, lehnt sich in seinem Schaukelstuhl zurück und lässt sich von dem rhythmischen Hin- und Herschaukeln inspirieren.
,,Lass mir dir von einer fremden Welt erzählen, mein lieber Felix.", beginnt Opa ,,Irgendwo da draußen existiert eine Welt, verborgen hinter Toren aus tanzenden Spiegeln."

Wandernde Wolken

Sein Blick war entspannt in die Ferne gerichtet, seine Arme hinter seinem Kopf verschränkt, und seine Körperhaltung gleichte der eines unbeschwerten fünfzehnjährigen Jungen, der nach einem ereignisreichen Tag im Wald auf einer Lichtung zur Ruhe kam. Auch wenn er dieses Alter bereits vor zwei Jahrzehnten hinter sich gelassen hatte, in diesem Moment fühlte er sich wieder jung und leicht. Er füllte seine kräftigen Lungen mit der warmen Mittagsluft und genoss wie erfrischt sich seine Muskeln nach der Wanderung anfühlten. Mit der Abnahme des Adrenalins in seinen Blutbahnen, nahm seine innere Entspannung zu und er genoss die belebende Wirkung der Natur verbunden mit körperlicher Anstrengung. Seine Aufmerksamkeit war auf die kleinen weißen Kumulus-Wolken gerichtet, die sich vor dem strahlend blauen Himmel unbeschwert vom Wind Richtung Westen tragen ließen.
