For more than thirty years in search of the meaning of life, life happens to you in the meantime. The poems are a way for me to process what has happened or to realize what I had and have, who I was and am and what I have to cherish while learning to accept myself for who I am: inquisitive and often too harsh on myself. This book is about longing, falling in love, wonder, loss and processing, in short: life. Even if you only have a glimpse of recognition when reading, you know: you are not alone.
