Balance
Well, besides a lot of heavy duty, outmost urgent and cosmically boring and ridiculous stuff, this week brought about one or two highlights.
One was probably not intended by its creator, Swiss airline; basically it was me, the Swiss airline broschure on my lap, watching the SWISS tv commercial inside the airplane, a woman serving a nice, dark cup of coffee on the TV screen, in an elegant ceramic cup, with a big smile, the same happening to me at exactly that moment, getting a paper thing with a diluted soup that stopped steaming about three hours ago by a German lady that looked at me like she had her stewardess education in the 70-ies with Aeroflot and was forced to fly from here to Mars without having a ticket back. Thus, I learned that life is cruel: You don’t get a decent coffee even if you pay 1000 $ US for your ticket from Zurich to Brussels (which, by the way, is an outrageous price and I would never pay it even if the company pays if I had an alternative), and lying at clients in commercials is no good idea, it comes back.
The second highlight was probably the Paul Klee Museum in Berne. (click here for more information on the museum and the artist). I had a detailed tour, guided by a lady in black who was just wonderful! I have learned that beauty often is found in balanced imperfection and assymetry. Paul Klee was a genius in setting a few lines, colours on a canvas and creating beauty that has a truly natural aspect. Balanced imperfection. I will keep this in mind the coming days when finally relaxing somewhat.
