Home Is Where Your Heart Is

29 Oktober by Michael Kellenter
Home is where your heart is. Your heart is where your love is. Your love is where you gave it to. --- I saw something on TV the other day. A family decided to attend an experiment.  Mom and Dad were jobless and had three kids between eight and twelve years old. The TV team came and removed all electronic entertainment devices from their home such as TV, computer, CD player, radio and so on. They simply were supposed to live without all that stuff for just three days accompanied by the TV team. Most of the time they were bored, hung around, did not know what to do. Wonderful weather outside but they stayed inside their apartment. The first day of the experiment they just waited to pass by without doing anything but wait. From time to time they checked the TV program in a magazine to see what they just were missing. Second day started the same. Dad traditionally got up first at 7 while the rest of the family still was sleeping. After a while without TV he really was upset for not knowing what to do. At the time the rest of the family got up he really seemed to be pissed off. Time for breakfast, no TV, no radio availalbe. All family members are pissed off. The forenoon passed without doing anything but being bored. In their dispear they finally decided to play a game in the afternoon. After five minutes or so they had a big quarrel and Dad was even more pissed off and so the game was over before it really began. Weather outside still fantastic, mood inside disastrous. By the evening Dad spoke to the TV team and said they decided to stop the experiment after less than 48 hours.  --- Home is where our heart is and where we give our love to. How much "home" can a TV and a computer be?

Die Überschrift bringt es auf den Punkt. Der Text macht nachdenklich, es scheint Menschen zu geben, die nicht wissen wo ihr Herz liegt. Der Hut sieht nach einem Panama Hut aus, da muss ich an Janoschs Panama Geschichte denken, in der es auch um Heimat geht. Das Bild strahlt irgendwie Ruhe und Zufriedenheit aus, es passt irgendwie zu dem Bild mit dem Kruzifix, das Du kürzlich gezeigt hattest.

Der Hut ist ein Panama und die Verknüpfung mit Janoschs Panama Geschichte finde ich sehr passend. Dieses Bild und das Bild mit dem Kreuz habe ich für die "Landleben im Quadrat" Serie aufgenommen, insofern liegt hier auch ihre gedankliche Harmonie begründet.
