Shift Major

A major shift;

not earthquake, but rather a Willed shift; a shift major.

Quit my stable job, resigned from my contract for home in Kongsberg outside Oslo.

Applied for five jobs, two of them in Copenhagen (where I also lived 1991-1997 and 2006-2009).

I need a new horizon, new context.

I don’t EVER want to become a person who simply does something within a context of “waiting until my retirement age”.

That was part of the start for DLTQ in march 2002; when I lived and worked in Brussels, and I one weekend in March before my March 22nd birthday simply sat down and had the process to find my next online nickname/handle (after Ehich which I had used since 1998, and Runner from 1995-1998).

One year ago or so I went for a new domain (str.is); related to the question of “what is the string?”, and I thought I would retire DLTQ completely. But — DLTQ still creeps into my mind.

What is the Question?

What am I Really doing here?

Why am I here and not there?

variations on that. To dig deeper. Not in an existential “why am I alive/what is the universe really” kind of thing, but a set of probing questions that circle around my actions (or lack of actions), my habits, my priorities and my structures.

I am 48 years old now. I was 23, almost 24, when I started my DLTQ path.

I turn 49 on March 22nd. In 4 months and something.

the core questions circle.

inner tectonic plates shift.
