Weekend unplugged

Another beautiful weekend is ahead. I'm putting my phone away and spend time focused on the real world. Will I miss something?

To take time off without the pressure of being productive, creative, to see, to do and document, became almost unimaginable. Yet I miss that freedom of not reaching for my phone or computer.

Just a stroll around the city, taking in the unfolding story of the coming autumn, sit down in a cafe and simply let beauty of the glorious day roll by.

Being alone in my thoughts is usually not hard for me, but this time I'm looking forward to meet my enthusiastically chatty companion. The flow of our thoughts and exchange my answers with his lucid questions will make us both feel alive. With my eyes on him, I'll make gestures with my free hands and savor these moments between us slowly, at our own pace and without pushing it to be photogenic or otherwise exciting.

Some moments of this life are the best when they are lived. I'm consciously and willingly turning back to see, hear and feel relationships, sounds, tastes, views. No need of highlights, filters and likes.

I miss those moments without a frame. And I'm getting it back.
