life is full of surprises

my whole weekend was a surprise, and today i surprised myself too!!!

strange, there is nothing that i want or need to write about this one.

besides the unusual friday program, the more routine saturday morning, i was at an aikido stage here in berne on saturday afternoon and sunday monrning. came home on sunday early afternoon tired and content. i had an article overdue for the WIPO and it was not until 4 this morning that i started to work on it again, it was done by 10.

what needed to happen, did happen. the universe has a way of always delivering the right lessons at my door step, i am just not home all the time.

actually i do not know what happened...

events happen.

1. i wrote a letter, wrote something about how i felt at the moment. mailed the letter.
2. weeks later i read a copy of the letter that i had mailed, and was indeed shocked by the intensity of what i was writing, immediately felt like a total fool.
3. the letter was a thank you letter above all, but not only.
4. the addressee reported being touched by such letter, i was thanked for it.
5. my observation is that we caressed each other's egos. for those of us endowed with strong egos which have had us by the nose a few times, it is indeed rather soothing to have it caressed without expectations. no stress.


there are surprises in life, at least my empty and insignificant life is full of them.

this morning and early afternoon i was at the "swiss science forum", and i left early. the event is ok, and i sometimes just get a tad tired of all these intellectuals turning the same old junk around in their heads and producing incoherent speech. somehow tiring and amusing at the same time, i got what i wanted and then left. it was perfect!

one year ago, i was not where i am now. where am i now?
