February 2008.

Again, we are back on vacation at our favorite hut located somewhere in the mountains of Austria, 1600 m above mean sea level. This place is like paradise to me. Exclusive back row seats with a perfect view in a threehundredandsixty degree nature´s cinema. A small wooden refuge in the middle of nowhere, access to everywhere - snow shoes provided. This place is absolutely out of reach for any kind of daily business. No way to get there without 4-wheel drive in winter. No worries, not any kind of precipitance. Values change promptly. We pay more attention to things like obtaining wood to keep the oven running rather than any other issues. Armin (my best friend), me and our dogs are here for the 5th or 6th time. We just moved in all our stuff we would need for a week. Clothes, beer, food, film photo cameras and a guitar. Evening sneaks up, sun´s downing. It´s so quiet. Finally our dogs come to rest. I sit. And I look around. It´s such a peaceful moment. I ask myself, what can I do to perpetuate this kind of peace for my everyday life. 

"Do nothing, don´t control, don´t interfere" a voice says.

I turn around. Nobody there. After a while I decide not to question this occurance.

I just watch my sleeping dog. Is that "doing nothing"?

"Yes it is"
