Frauentücher

Ich dachte immer: Passu - was ist mit Dir passiert? Denn als ich in Passu war, als ich die hohen Berge sah und fand, dass alles eins ist, da drehte sich mein Leben um und auch ich hatte umgedreht, dort am fernsten Ort überhaupt, zwischen den Bergen wo ich war, zurück zu Zo, zu meiner Familie, zurück nach Deutschland und schließlich nach Amsterdam. Ich konnte mein Leben nicht finden. Es war, als wäre ein Stück von mir verlorengegangen dort oben in den Bergen. Ich hatte gute Leute um mich, sodass ich mich nach und nach wieder sammeln, vielleicht auch komplett neu ordnen konnte. Es folgte ein Jahr bei den Knowmads, ein Jahr in meinem Tribe, ein Jahr voller Liebe und struggles. Am Ende stand die Musik, meine erste CD und viele andere Dinge, die aber nicht in die Reisegeschichten gehören. Hier ist, wie das Jahr begann:

I opened chapter nine of my Life and there was: Amsterdam. It started back in Berlin when I joined a Workshop called "Mission U". I learned something like: when you really deal with a problem, the answer reveals naturally. We don't have to make it up. I got to know Manuel (Knowmads Tribe one) and Charlotte from Amsterdam. They invited me without knowing me. They could be wrong, I thought, I could be weird. Especially this week I felt a bit small between all these extraordinary people who seemed to live their lives like one big event: take the honey and fly on. But... They invited me.

I arrived in Amsterdam on July 9th. I instantly asked Manuel about his School. They're having a workshop this week, he said. Oh, so... can I join? Well... It's an application Workshop for the next Tribe, starting on August 20th! Oh, so... can I apply? One month later I moved to Amsterdam to join Tribe 6. I asked the city the other morning: Do you want me to come? "Yes, Maria, please come!" said a tiny little voice that could have also belonged to Charlotte next to me. The Girl who offered me her room whenever needed. It just felt so right. In chapter 7, when I thought of joining YIP in Sweden, I decided it to bee too far away from everything. In chapter 8 when I considered to do Kaospilots in Denmark I couldn't make a three-year commitment like that. Now that I've been at University for a while and can truly let go, Knowmads crossed my way. I actually invited it to happen, when I decided to take one year off, to see wether I'm still on track and, if not, to adjust. It won't be just a year off - it will be a year on. This is chapter nine. It is, when the book starts being so exciting that you can't stop reading anymore.
