Today I woke up in foggy Bremen and went for a run.
Then I visited Jacobs University, IUB like it used to be called when I was a student. Little changed since last year when I last visited and yet it felt different to be back on campus. It felt as if there was even more distance between my time there some years ago and the present; somehow I could truly enjoy being back. I had lunch in Krupp, my old college, and even met Jesus...a classmate. It was beautifully pleasant.
The pilgrimage continued with a visit at my old work place. Walking down from the university to Vegesack I thought of Sao Paulo. If there is an opposite to the restlessness, noise and constant movement from Sao Paulo, it must be this forgotten village in the North of Germany. However the two places cannot be compared and in my world they are good complements; the unfortunate part is that they are an ocean apart.
I met friends, colleagues, and ended the day in the sauna listening to good music. Such can life be in Bremen despite the early darkness, the cold, the empty streets.
