Who I am

My favourite quote
The head is round,
so that thinking
can change direction.
Francis Picabia
I am Hartmut Frenzel.
I am not looking for quick answers. I am looking for what lies beneath: genuine encounters, quiet realisation, inner sincerity. I believe that clarity doesn't have to be loud - it can be quiet. But it can also be uncomfortable.
I go where it hurts. Not because I'm masochistic - but because I know that freedom is often waiting there.
I ask uncomfortable questions. Not to provoke - but because often nobody else does.
And yes: I also laugh at myself. Regularly. And sometimes quite loudly.
I love being alone - but not for too long, please.
I love silence - but not emptiness.
I love words - but only when they open something up.
And people - if they are prepared to face themselves. Even in the mirror.
Accompany me:
Questions instead of ready-made answers.
Honesty instead of a façade.
Dignity instead of judgement.
And sometimes: red wine, baguette and olives. Or an espresso. Or a good chat deep into the night.
If that appeals to you - welcome.
Perhaps we will meet.
Maybe it will be deep.
Maybe it will be uncomfortable.
Maybe it will be really good.
