Description i wish i could work nightshift in a hospital tonight. where there is always something going on, always an emergency around the corner, always someone in charge - where there are things that make thinking of finally going home a pleasant thing.

i wish i had a pager that called me off right now, i wish i was a famous trauma surgeon whose skills were badly needed to save some lives tonight, somewhere in another room, in another scene, in another life;
or i dream of being chief medical examiner who could attend her institute right in the middle of the night to cut someone open and get out all the guts, the heart, the brain and look into an empty shell made of nothing but bones and skin and finally get back on earth again;
or i would like to be a scientist who can go to his lab any time inspired by an idea that just occurred under the shower, and run some tests, drilling down on something, write a paper and have it published by the morning to bring light into some darkness out there.

but i'm sitting here being nothing, having to find the world nowhere but inside myself. saving noone's life but mine, fathoming noone's secrets but mine, having to bring light in noone's darkness but my own.


#17 to save some lives tonight

Heute ist ein matter Tag. Ein Tag, an dem die Seele beschlägt, an dem wirre Gedanken kondensieren und von innen gegen die Augen dampfen, so dass sie milchtrüb werden und jedem Mutigen das Durchblicken verwehren. Ein Tag, an dem man nur von der Erinnerung daran leben kann, dass mit jedem erfolgreichen Atemzug der Abend wieder ein Stückchen näher gerückt ist.

Tage, die ohne tiefe Wunden vergehen und lediglich zarte Spuren hinterlassen, kaum bemerkbare Kratzer auf der Oberfläche der Seele, die bald schon in Vergessenheit geraten werden.
Doch etwas gibt es, das bleibt.
Es ist wohl jener Tage Schatten, der sich unter die Augen und um die Herzen legt, der der Zukunft einen anderen Farbstich gibt.

Oo
True feelings?
Things that you felt for a moment and passed?
I can't agree with this idea of someone bringing light to noone's life.
That's something that happens and we don't notice.

yes, true, very.
it's about the contrast of beeing needed, part of something big, doing something noone can ever question with no right and, well, yes, this very moment.
and no, it's nothing fluctuant, it's constant and it's true.

Hmm, I see. I hadn't got the whole idea.
But do you feel like it's important to "be part of something big"?
I mean, we can be needed without being "a scientist" who "writes a paper and have it published by the morning to bring light into some darkness out there", right?

probably. but it's always something you can question. always something i do question.
saving a life isn't.

Hmm, and what is big to you? I mean, what do you do to reach that?

Sorry, I didn't get. What is not to save a life?

saving a life is nothing you could ever question.
