Escapism is real!
It’s how we run from pain and stress, finding a small place to feel free. But if we stay too long, we lose touch with what’s true.
It’s a way to heal, but also a way to hide.

"Escapism" is my favorite word!
10pm. More or less. An early summer night it seems. Scent of cigarettes and concrete cooling down. Clarinet practise somewhere nearby. Evening broadcast on screens of various sizes, coloured green, blue, yellow. An inbound notification on a balcony, ubiquitous sounds in a homogeneous world. Thin veil of clouds to hide the void. Be safe on your way into the morning, wherever you are.
The last time I needed to escape from reality, a few years back, I spent a ton of time playing Skyrim.
Guess what I started playing again last week...
Kurze Abwesenheiten. Sonnenschirm und Himmel über den Augen, langsam verschwimmend. Das Summen von Insekten, verschiedene Themen im verschiedenen Parzellen und Sprachen. Und dann kommen die Stimmen immer näher und winden sich in unstete Bilder und ein Tor quietscht und man wacht wieder auf, eine kurze Ewigkeit später und mit schnellem Puls in Hals und Schläfen. Wind durch die Katzenminze. Das Schrittmaß ruhiger Nachmittage.
Closing in on 11am. Moved with the hands of time, north. Chilly cottages hot sun. Some brightness, to hide from one's own dark. Spectator on any kind of sideline.

@dazo Couldn't agree more Compensation and projection seem to be hallmark traits for #MAGATs They are a natural and expected logical development of a #USCulture of #Fantasy #Escapism and #Denial It's #USPolitics #USReligion it's a sick culture Why else would most in the US chose to travel to stand in line and pay for overpriced food and tickets to see a #FantasyMouse and #FantasyPrincess when they could travel to see #Art #History #Music #Theatre: the #Foundation of the World and #Reality
Please, dear #kdrama friends! Not more recommendations to good series! I have to work a bit as well, and there are people that want to see me IRL... #escapism going overboard here. Oh wait, tomorrow I'll be on a train all day ! #bingetime

Come run away to the woods for a while.
Follow the wolfdog's bells 
There's a cute stone bridge and everything.
Später, außerhalb. Routen um Hügel, über kleinen Städten, Industrietälern alter Tage, ungesehen und abseits aller Verbindungen. Eisig der Wind, dichte Wolken ins Land treibend. Immer noch zwischen Jahreszeiten, von der Stimmung her Herbst.

10am and on, still at home. Sun hiding in new veils as frost retreated. No further plans, just staring into skies and watching sands of time flow forth. In between laziness, serenity and a certain sense of guilt.

National Gallery, London
One of my favourite pictures from London's National Gallery. I confess I often hold this picture in my mind's eye as a form of escapism -- an escape from strip malls, bloated SUVs, megachurches with fundamentalist PowerPoints punctuated by bad rock and extempore prayer, cargo pants,
presidential make up, the Hobby Lobby...

The US has a culture of #Escapism and #Denial. Like all addicts in a dysfunctional relationship there comes a #Reckoning #EscapistFantasy is in our #Religion and in our #Tech, and we will pay for it.
Anderswo prangen wütende Phrasen an gentrifizierten Fassaden. Spielstraße aus Beton und Asphalt, zerkratzter Luxuswagen in einer Schottergarteneinfahrt. Jungerfolgreiche Menschen, die sich Platz suchen und machen. Aber man findet immer irgendwo ein Wohnzimmercafé und ein wenig Abstand von der Welt vor den Türen.
