So, in German there is an expression that alleges for somebody to be standing on the line. It has never been specified though, what kind of line it relates to. The most apt equivalent could be someone standing on a water hose. That however, would affect only those at the receiving end of the hose. In the case of the being caught standing on the line, it rather relates to the fact that someone - peculiarly though in the majority oneself - is late in the comprehension of - also most commonly - a joke for example.
Imagine You are standing in a group of lovely women (no corononsense) and one of the them - interestingly though the one You fancy quite a bit - expresses her desire to feel the wind while riding on a Münch TTS - and You get excited about a charming woman knowing about this monster. From the camshaft timing to the gear ratios - talk about everything. Until the group dissolves and everybody leaves.
Now, standing on that line would have been, that You do have a motorcycle in the garage. Of course not a Münch TTS, but the lovely Triumph Bonneville will (how sweet) get her hair swirled up into a rastagirl-do for her to reminisce with glossy eyes and a big smile until she will be 98. When the two of You at that time would have to take the great-grandchildren for a ride.
But since You were standing on that line, You never offered her to satisfy her desire to get her do swirled up.
Just an example of "Auf der Leitung stehen" - in a most deducted way, "You're not getting it".
It didn't get something either. That I was complaining about the iPad and how difficult it is to write on it. Today though, I was able to get off the line and realize that the real advantage of it is the ability to present actuality. I furthermore realized how handy it would have been during my active years as photo journalist in Germany.
Based on the fan floatingly spinning in the manure tank, the idea was conceived to re-start - if only partially - the photojournalistic work that actually screams right now to be taken care of. That would give the interested audience the opportunity to look around here and see how they do it here.
Since a few month now I have this sensation that the flow of events or influences one could live without, consists on a multitude of stuff that is all related to the present situation humanity is in. Naturally, everything is covered under "This too, will pass". That includes 'wo/mankind'. In the human case though, there are seemingly special circumstances at work that have driven us collectively over the cliff.
The sooner people start to accept this fact, the sooner we will be able to change existing power/distribution structures/rackets. But it will - as always - have to start in the mind. One has to see with one's inner eye what can be done to believe it. Being the Universe naturally is a most 'adopted' state. It does however not prevent from getting dragged with the whole train down the cliff. What it instead does, is enabling the mind to fully utilize the smarts of the Universe. Because in this Universe, every problem has more than one solution to it. Just like the other way around. The trick though appears to be, to be aligned to such a degree that the required solutions offer oneself handily. Easily. Alignment is a lot like 'instinct' - only consciously and voluntarily. To develop the sense for what is good for everything. What is good for the Universe?
When I ask people the same question every time, "What is the most important thing/k in Your life?" You'll be amazed what kind of answer comes my way. Every time. It is easier to state what comes second, or further down the priority ladder. Number one is in the charts for a very long time. "Money". Followed by "Love", or sometimes conceding to Love when there are people for whom Love is more important than money. But then, right after that...
I will forever repeat it. And I will make a T-Shirt of it as well:
Everyone needs Organic Food, Hemp Clothes and Aero-Cement/Hempcrete Shelter, proper universal health care and clean running water.
Now I need to move the plants outside.
Always a pleasure and same to you.
