Golden Silence, stay awhile.

12 May 2016

awake, shower, shave brush teeth. The cat watches in silence today. Everything takes a little bit longer,Tthursday slowness. Board a bus, at the bus stop, much later.

Leave the house five minutes late, through the town with a sunken head, see only the street. 

In a hurry today.

Dolores has a bandaged foot, upon an inquiry of ' what  happened? she says that it must be the weather. Good morning Dolores. Her German is broken, maybe from Eastern Europe, maybe from further afield.

After the short bus ride, hello to the smoker in front of the station, and into the cafe on the right hand side of the waiting room. Alice is there, wearing a blue shirt with the inscription 'Teamleiter' on its left breast. She makes coffee and tea, takes money, and says 'Alles' after every customer . In the waiting room Hedgehog is at his table, ruddy- faced, waiting. He has a newspaper spread in front of him, he is wearing his clean blue overalls. Around the corner comes hits young lady friend, they are all ready to have their morning chat.

Outside the window, the first half of the Munich express train is to be seen as it comes into the platform area. At the same time the Rosenheim train comes into the nearer platform. This is a small diesel train with only two carriages. Still, it fills the platform with a crowd of almost one hundred and fifty people. 

 This crowd dissipates quickly, into town, or to other platforms to catch other trains.

It is here that There is a sudden awareness that the tinnitus is gone. The steady background hiss of the past years has stopped. 

Silence.

Golden Silence, stay awhile.

After the Train leaves Moosburg, the sun comes out from behind the hitherto obscurative clouds, an another bright day with a softt light from friendly sky.:
Good Morning.
