And this is what I liked the most; my body in the city was in a constant ping pong conversation with the world around me in my mind. As an aspiring phenomenologist, I created a space with my body and concentrated on phenomena in my lifeworld and how they appeared to my consciousness. I made sense in conversation with Evi and Natasha, the harbours, old historical episodes of dance mania, lines in La Dolce Vita, Red Shoes and La Grande Bellezza and baby ravens playing in the air. Of course, I recognize ‘the borders and limits placed on mutually shared and intersubjective forms of perception’ (Irving 2009: 316), but ‘life is not a problem to be solved but a journey to be embarked upon like a novel’ (Jackson 2009: 9). The never-ending quest for common ground wrote a little novel in my head which made the fragmentation around me coherent in romantic illusions, without reducing the green tree of life into grey theory.
