I faced one of my biggest fears -- and experienced four days of insights into another world. It was a dream that set everything in motion. In the autumn of , I dreamed that I was sitting on a bridge over the Mur River in the center of Graz, Austria's second largest city, begging. It was a powerful image, and it was coupled with an inexplicable feeling: freedom. Until then, I knew Graz superficially -- from day trips and a few hotel stays during my time as a pilot.
A good six months later, I find myself there. I have cleared four days in my calendar to get to the bottom of the matter. To expose myself to what I was most afraid of in my sleepless nights: failing and falling into a bottomless pit. To lose everything. No matter how hard I tried to imagine it, I couldn't picture it. Such a life was too far away.
Being alone in the wilderness, living a minimalist life, walking km -- I had tried it all before. But in the middle of a big city, foraging for food in garbage cans, sleeping on the asphalt, and not changing my clothes for days on end -- that was a different category. Where would I go to the toilet? What would I do if it rained? From whom would I beg for food? How do you deal with being a nuisance to others, who at best ignore you? If everything that we often take for granted in our lives falls away, what is actually left of ourselves?
I start my experiment on a Thursday at the end of May around lunchtime at a parking garage in Graz Jakomini. I'm excited and well prepared. In this case, that means: torn clothing and as little luggage as possible. After a few steps, a woman comes towards me on the sidewalk: shoulder-length brown hair, good-looking, make-up on and full of energy.
