ABOUT ME

After studying translation and interpreter and before looking for a place in the puzzle, I would like to learn something else about all this (this = everything). Suddenly, I find myself more interested in small every-day labours than in all the intellectual activities I've been busy with so far. I'm in a thirsty period. I feel like travelling, knowing and learning, learning, learning.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't think this is a philosophy, but I just try to keep in touch with the roots, not to "dehumanize" too much, and to install myself in the present.

Interests

I like words, I like hand-made things, I like the coast in winter, the first conversation with an unknown person, the gifted musicians of the U-bahn, children's questions, the sounds under the water, the spirit "zu verschenken", trains from the outside, people who close eyes in a concert, touching the ground with both hands, slowness but movement, swifts at 8 p.m, circles, when the world alliterates, the dance of the dervishes...
