I was born on a Wednesday, that’s the middle of the working week. My name has seven letters whereas the one in the centre sits in-between two similar ones. My zodiac sign is the scales (even though the moon was in virgin when I was born – calendars are definitely not as connected to nature as they should be).

My character you could call oppositional as well as balancing. In the midst of chaos I am order BUT order swirls me round so I become chaos again. Cheerful happy people manage to wind me up whilst run-down melancholic people can always raise a smile off me.

Balance is essential. But being at equilibrium within yourself, when moving left and right all the time aiming to redress balance in a bigger system, is a challenge AND it’s debatable, whether the effort is reasonable at all. As we know from physics, it would for instance not make sense leaning to the right on a motorbike when taking a sharp left turn.

„If you sincerely desire a truly well-rounded education, you must study the extremists, the obscure and "nutty". You need the balance! Your poor brain is already being impregnated with middle-of-the-road crap, twenty-four hours a day, no matter what. Network TV, newspapers, radio, magazines at the supermarket... even if you never watch, read, listen, or leave your house, even if you are deaf and blind, the telepathic pressure alone of the uncountable normals surrounding you will insure that you are automatically well- grounded in consensus reality.“
