A deepest cut

Kategorie: Geistes- & Sozialwissenschaften

This is the end of my travel log (not of my weblog, of course). I travelled 32 cities in 12 states. And I took my trip as some sort of roadwork which enabled me to meet wonderful people, visit interesting places, receive a very diverse impression of the U.S. as an assembly of cultures, traditions and lifestyles. One part of this roadwork is done now. But there is still a construction site left that will remain part of my life. Not in terms of bricks and mortar that have to be smoothed out but in terms of observation and contemplation.

There are so many opportunities, various routes we can take, diverse buttons we can press to initiate a process that might take us where we want to get to. But we can never foresee where we will wind up. This is a lesson for the simplifying-their-life kind of guys as well as for the control freaks. Life can't be controlled. The only thing we might partly be in control of is our reactions to things that happen. And even this can be questioned for various reasons.

Didn't I write a book about how to reduce complexity in every day life? Didn't I write a whole chapter on how to cope with all these demands for making a choice and taking a decision?

After waking up early in the morning the sunlight pouring into my room through I take a glance trough the thin panes of the windows at this little town.

We are entering surveillance society. Just take a taxi from the San Francisco Airport and you will discover a little camera in the front of the car that films you all the way downtown to your hotel.

Full reward

Up to the present days I have always considered religion to be a combination of individual belief and community practice based on a transcendental but non financial fundament.

Driving in the U.S. is a pleasure. There is nothing more comfortable in this country than cars and roads. And there is nothing people do care more about. Driving from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Marfa, Texas, I detected the cruise function in my rental car.

The new normality

It is hot and humid and I immediately associate "water" with this city. It's the humidity in the air of about 98 percent. It's my skin covered by sweat right after leaving the airport. And it's what people have in mind when coming to New Orleans - the city that was disastrously flooded after Hurricane Katrina had hit the town with up to 250 kmh on 29th of August 2005.
