Hey.

October has been a quiet month. Took all the time that I needed to sort myself out.

P.S. #11 should be online within the next days… There will be an airplane, a paper plane and someone who’s daydreaming too much. I’m sorry for the current delay. Sterk’s apparantely a lot better at building time machines than fixing audio equipment…

Hey,

My mind is ahead of myself and thinks it is already winter. Sometimes it’s difficult to live in the moment…

“Under the shower I washed away the strangest dream
When my arms slid to my back and grew a plumage
When my nose turned all black and was a beak
When the current dragged me all the way to the bottom of the ocean
When my beak gently touched the reddest mud.

A rain shower cleaned the window of their car
When its doors opened to the top like the wings of a falcon
When the water turned the road into a piece of red earth
When the puddles surrounded all the newborn islands.
When their feet formed a paradise of their own in the mud.

Under your shower I don‘t want to wash away the smell of today
When the owl on your nightstand looks away
When my silent smile turns into laughter
When I feel as spotless as never before
When the red gown is waiting for me to cover my skin.” 

***stars and fishes*** ***branches from one tree*** ***don‘t hijack my soul***
***alien communication*** ***create your own paradise*** ***unshared thoughts***
***take care of your own crazy*** ***adapted normality*** ***x***

Hey there,

first of all apologies for my delay. It’s probably part of the process to learn that a song takes the time it needs.

This month I spend quite some time in a bar called Geist im Glas. Please do read the same-titled tale from the Grimm collection, it’s a nice one. The genie gets trapped back in the bottle and the nice guy keeps the superpower of healing all wounds.

A lot of a liquor inspired evenings and a surreal sad situation in this bar led to this month’s song.

So many people have been helping me during the last weeks. I’m kind of overwhelmed by all of this support. Thanks to every one of you!

Take care,

Eva Sterk

***like travelling but staying in the same place*** ***angelus novus*** ***do everything you do for real*** ***I miss your smile*** ***don‘t worry*** ***water always finds its own level***
