I did not want to go. It was cold, it was dark, it was rainy. But I felt I had to.
As I rode down the Hamburg streets, and cars zoomed by me, I felt tired and exhausted. I thought about heading to a restaurant. But I had eaten well at lunch. And I started to freeze to the bone. Restaurants were far away.
I passed by a supermarket. I made a quick decision. I jumped off my bike to get inside. A few minutes of warmth and light. Then I could continue the journey.
The bike parking spot had attachments and signs, for pet "owners" to chain their dogs onto, while shopping.
Fitting to me, the small scale "hardcore techno overdog" that I am.
When I went inside, I saw they had a café attached to the market. I went inside, couldn't decipher the list of coffee drinks on the wall several metres away, and decided I need to upgrade my glasses in the near future.
As I asked the service person, I was told they had "scottish tea" as well, so I went for that one a piece of cake. Cheesecake.
I began working, and finished the work related to a release on Omnicore Records.
My spirits restored, I traveled on.
This journey is a good example on how even a slight detour - or blatantly giving up halfways - still leads us to our destination.
The release was put out later that day.
