Whenever I read the news again, I really don’t miss that feeling of despair afterwards. I would prefer to flee. Escape from this chaos. Of wars. What people do to each other. Which is not necessary. Well, I really believe that there should be room for everyone. For everything that lives, blooms and grows. So … Continue reading Day dreaming
Two boys were shooting their football back and forth. I watched that scene from above from the balcony, down there on that square.Suddenly there was a 2-year-old boy who was watching, longingly. And one of the bigger boys saw it and kicked the ball to the smaller kid. He did not hesitate and while he … Continue reading Reading between the lines
Being a woman I look back on making a lot of ‘wrong choices’. The way I look at it, I needed to get a driver’s license und thus a car to take me places. A roof over my head. A job that provided me with money. A man to have children with and not necessarily … Continue reading This state of urgency (of womanhood)

People just die, don’t they? Only recently my brother left this life and I must say I do not fully understand the concept of it. Death I mean. I would have loved to have received a copy of his DNA-string. So in due time, I could simply ressurect him. In whatever form, young or old, … Continue reading How to preserve my own dinosaurs
Writing under boring and restricting conditions always gives me some sense of purpose. It’s like my brain is continuously surprised by the outcome of my fingers’ wisdom. As it’s obviously my fingertips that blurt out the common sense that my brain did not know it had. But now – recently my elder brother (56) passed … Continue reading It’s just a temporary hiatus
