"It is the self-remoteness. The letting go of oneself. The distance to the ego. The question of being away. The answer to self-centeredness. In a society where individualism perverts more and more to egoism, here the ego breaks down in the death posture of poetic art.
Where it is necessary to break the circle, to free the point, the mind is on ice for a short time, frozen and waiting for its rebirth. Futurism in the presence of time. So have we not always been this way? Those who can then conjure up Eros find themselves in the past.
It is then only a step further to come out of Plato's cave and finally to abandon the artificial light and the shadows.
Distance also means to recognize. Whether itself or other things; are nevertheless all things in the world. It is the wanderlust to finally get away from oneself, to leave an old part of the self behind.
Those who are ready to go now should do so! But those who are still trapped in winter, just wait for the end. To break the circle means: to stay still in the cycle. But surely there will come a new spring. And then it is called away! Away with the old worries, with those worries of the time.
To endure the distance! Accepting closeness! To overcome closeness and distance, in a perpetual circle of being and becoming. To put oneself again and again into a new river, but not to come from the spot. So this is the point one carries when one moves. This, then, is the point of distance that one wants to reach without ever really having known it.
Resolution in the near. Renewal in the distance."
