Couch thought |

This question burns me a long time under the nails. Now at last I may publish them along with the images. But before I do that, I read a passage in a book that brings me to another thought at first. I call it simply the "coffee-thoughts". |

"The Flashback creeps in like a sneeze. I feel how it starts in my head like a beehive to vibrate. The ground under me is as soft as cotton wool and it seems like I'm sinking in it. Everything around me fades, I get a tunnel vision and I am no longer capable of things sight to really. " |

These words do not come from me. But they reflect what I experience often when I am sitting on the couch and think. Suddenly, I return to the past and try to search deep inside me, why I have done something. Or why I have not done anything have.

It would be inappropriate to compare the experiences of the author of the top line with my experiences.
Daniela Matijevic is a friend of mine from Osnabrück. In her recently published book
"The hell I could have lived," she says about their traumatic experiences as a medical soldier while deployed in Kosovo. A courageous step. For I know it will not please everyone in the Force, making it much more in her book brings to language.

And exactly that, I am also aware, I think to myself as I read through their lines. I understand that not everyone understands the concern my frankness on this blog. The skepticism I have encountered in many places. When family, friends, others blog readers. I have often wondered whether it makes sense to outline my personal and project life here in detail. And if so, how deep should I go into detail here? Well, I would lie elsewhere on the "famous" bed, the expectations would be in my audience quite different. He expects the soul striptease from me. to find a basis for psychological help - and rightly so.

Here is something different. Here it is less about the psyche of the blogger or reader. I decide for myself what I want to give of myself and what is not. The bar is not stuck with me particularly high. A fortiori, when I look at the development of the internet.
Keywords: Facebook. If one bears in mind also the fact that the "transparent citizen" is also of previously state because no "rumor" anymore, help it one in the decision. Me at least. I'm just the "glass" Daniel Wear and yet even with this. (My ego extroverted just jumps for joy in me!)

secrets And I can keep still. Basically, there is only one taboo that I do not want to break here in the blog and elsewhere: to discredit people.
Now you ask why he tells us this now? Because it is an elementary part of my world of thoughts "on the couch" is.

If I have learned one thing on the project trip, then there is the fact that in open and honest discussions of the couch at least plays an important supporting role. Proof of this are my countless conversations with some strangers in all countries. We knew they take few hours. But the "talks" on the couch were almost always in proportions who trusted in their openness and honesty in conversations with people very reminiscent. About the life partner. Or the best friend. Some intimate things have been mentioned. flowed in one case with a host even the tears. Something happens to you not with strangers at the sales counter in the bakery or in the cinema (even with popcorn and cola). At least the probability is for it to zero.

Since I was allowed to make these experiences, I am convinced that the couch for me - not only because of their journey - a deeper meaning. It is not just a sitting or sleeping. It is the platform for open discussions. And only through openness to creating trust and closeness. In order not to be too philosophical, try I bring about my person to the point: I would like to build this closeness and trust to those people with whom I get on the couch to talk. And succeed! Of course, everyone for themselves who ensure that trust not to abuse. Ultimately, this approach serves
but an automated selection of competitors. True to the motto: "I am! ! Who does not like me so, I must avoid "

The more I think about it, a request comes in to me: On 2 December I had a talk with my potential new employer. No, I am now not suggest him a hearing on the sofa. But it would be an idea to set up a couch in the office. Or more (you can see, the job does the already quite good. What is missing is the "Otto" on the contract). Just a thought.

Where we are in the actual reason why I wanted to write this entry. As I once again around the "bush" around talking. One year ago, I wanted to ask this question here. And if you make it Believe it or not, so far I have avoided the nearly infinite realm of concepts on the Internet to search for the solution. I once a selection of photos from my couch looking out on the trip and posted here. Or it means "couch" or "couches" or even (based on the majority of espresso), "Couchman"? As long as I'm still not sure, I probably fall back on the term "sofa". Or it would even rightly called "eclipse"? Who knows ...
loving greeting from my "seat",
Daniel
