NEXT STATION

Talking about our last collection, Yann Girard recently told me to be aware of technology push. You have to be a business casper from the TUM for having such insights in our urban culture context. Dude, technology is far from being my core competence; perhaps I do have some knowledge about ayo technology. That’s it. This here is not a technology push, shouldn’t be a push. Nothing should be a push in a world of thinking humans. Call it thoughts pull.
Nächster Halt: Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof. Yes, on the road, again. This time with Morel Dagba, going to meet Nando Nkrumah; some talks on some topics on the table. Allow me to take you for a small trip through our journey. I think that we started on the right side of our metro map: STRUGGLE. You know, that’s could be what happens when you stop being a spectator of your own life, when you stop talking the talk or (to adapt the Hustle & Flow’s script to our modern day language) posting the post or twitting the twit. Short, struggle might be when you wake up in the morning, and the first thing coming to your mind is: Action! From Struggle, we first have to go back to DESTINY. Is there something or someshit like destiny? I don’t know, that’s why we don’t spend a lot of time there and move directly to FRIENDSHIP. No words needed on this one, if you need some, you might have some serious problems. Sorry…

Being at Friendship, we have to go our way back to DÉSIR. The body is one matter, the soul is another. Epicure versus Aristotle. Are we going through all these stories for the body or for the soul? Die Gretchenfrage. Having answered this question (or not), we might go straight to LOYALTY. But mom, the streets and even my professors at grad school taught me that life is full of U-turns and loop ways. So, I go my way through COURAGE and ART before reaching Loyalty. Loyalty is, besides AFFECTION, RECTITUDE and CREATIVITY, one of the central stations in our journey. You can be loyal or disloyal to a ton of things in this world, no enumeration needed. The most important, I guess, is to remain loyal to oneself. But then you get the Gretchenfrage, again. Should one remain loyal to the body or to the soul? Being at Loyalty, we can go basically to any destination. It’s tempting to move forward to Affection and then try to get to DREAM. But no way, no connecting lines to Dream. Dreams, they are present, we can think of them, we can feel them. Sometimes you can even live them, in dreams. Or not…
Battery warning, 5% left. It’s ok since we are almost at destination. The towers of Cologne’s Cathedral are just in front of us. Nächster Halt: Köln Hauptbahnhof. So, let’s see if we can find the way to our dreams in Cologne.
P.S.: If you feel the words, feel free to bring them to the world. But don’t be guttenberg, please.
