ABOUT ME

I love words, I love to play with them or to think about some random wordcombinations for hours. I love to write as much as I love to read, so I am always searching for perfect book, or just for the fitting word. If I would be brave enough I were a writer but I dicovered the fulfiling work with mentally and physikally handicapped children. Now that I am 25 I am helping bringing up 8 heavily dissabled children in the age between 5 and 15 Years for 6 years now and sometimes I am nicking the words they are whispering into my ears, I am picking up the tales they are telling with their eyes, their incompetent hands and their irrepressible souls. And betimes, as if the exact word would be something like a key, I locate the exact word to describe a feeling, an athmosphere or situation and I feel the all-fulfiling proundness of finishing a poem

PHILOSOPHY

die einfachste Art einen Menschen zu ehren ist ihm zuzuhoeren
