Walk on

A European journey

Johannes Eber / How To Save Democracy

    See Mum, see Dad, I've become autonomous. You changed my diaper, fed me, taught me. But now I am grown. I don't need you anymore. I am free. - And because I am free, I can choose to carry you always with me. What we have experienced. The travelling. The laughing. The crying. Everything is on my mind. In my heart. And I know, it always will.

    What is left when I don’t post anymore?
    Not on LinkedIn, not in blogs,
    not on Instagram, not on Bluesky.
    When I stop telling the world
    that I exist—
    alive, performing,
    bragging in pictures, words, arguments.

    What is left when it is only me?
    Myself,
    and the life that presses close—
    every minute, every second.
    A life without likes,
    without shares, without reach.
    Yet a life I can touch,
    that touches me now:
    on this old train along the coast,
    window open,
    the sun on my skin,
    the wind in my hair—
    grey now,
    but still,
    still.

    Can I bear such a life?
    With all its cracks
    no longer hidden.
    With all its vibrant silence.
    A life fragile in its worth,
    priceless in its seeming worthlessness.

    I want to dare it.
    I do.

    On holiday

    Outside, in the distance, the mountains have disappeared behind greyness. Summer rain is falling, barely audible. The window of the hotel room is open. A light breeze carries this summer morning into the room.

    Inside, me, sitting in bed, writing. Not much to do today. Finding a place for breakfast. Catching the train at 1 p.m. To leave this town. Towards another town.

    But that will be in another time.

    Now is the present.

    The raindrops. The gentle breeze. Completeness.

    Everything I longed for - in a hotel room in Villach, Austria.

    Wer geliebt werden will
    sammelt Likes
    ist auf der Hut
    gefällt anderen
    übernimmt Meinungen
    folgt Trends
    passt sich an
    erfüllt Erwartungen
    Wer liebt
    ist frei.

    Ring the bells that still can ring
    forget your perfect offering
    There's a crack in everything
    that is how the light gets in.
    – from Leonard Cohen's song "Anthem"

    “Wer lernen, Augen und Gehör schärfen, sein Gedächtnis stäken will, der möge Jagd auf Worte machen, in trockenen Fachzeitschriften ebenso, wie in den Werken von Dichtern. Er soll jedes Wort, dessen er habhaft werden kann, wie eine kostbare Beute behandeln. Er soll es drehen und wenden und von allen Seiten besehen. Er soll es betasten, beriechen und schmecken, im Mund zerkauen und auf der Zunge zergehen lassen, bis es ganz seins geworden ist, ein körpereigenes Werkzeug wie die Zellen des Gehirns, in denen es fortan bereit liegt – als Kürzel für die Wirklichkeit, die er sonst nicht begreifen könnte, als Schlüssel zum besseren Verständnis für die Welt.” – Sebastian Leitner in „So lernt man Lernen“, 1972
