Im Niemandsland leben

"To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again. From the awakened point of view, that's life."

(Pema Chödrön, teacher at Gampo Abbey, in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the first Tibetan monastery in North America)
