the empty chair
Forever still, as the years vanish, the sun has finally overtaken my time. © E n i s ∞ r song: The Delayed 3:15 – Elbow A chair is a poem of wood and fabric, written for the body to rest its verses.

go let grow
The power of truth, the light that unveils what was hidden, like seeds sprouting into new insights. One ending folds into itself, as another opens with a blank and tender beginning.These are our eternal cycles. Pain and joy, dearest companions.Truth is a force, for in it you finally embrace and forgive yourself. © E n

Brief encounters
I saw him approaching from afar, walking through the long grass. Lively for his age, hat on, and a friendly hello as he passed.I couldn’t help but imagine that this was me from the future. Perhaps he was thinking the same thing, that I was him from the past. In life, many people cross paths

Shaped by Surroundings, Defined by Choices
It is often said that our surroundings shape us. The question is: to what extent does the environment determine who we are as individuals? Your environment largely shapes who you are, because your values, behavior, and opportunities are strongly influenced by the people and circumstances around you. For example, growing up in a supportive family

the road maker
The bare clay longs to be paved,for people and homeland.For bread, for shelter,and at last, for powers above. They press the brick deeper into the earth,a foundation where a hollowcan fall into a bottomless void. These are wordless dreamsthe road-layer carries into being. © E n i s ∞ r song: New Grass – Talk

Finding the light switch
I have postponed the past, callable in black and white.Just fragments of events on my journey through life.For me they stirred wonder:‘what does it mean to be human’? © E n i s ∞ r song: Darker Side of You – Rosie Doonan Life — it is but a flash and a grain of sand

playing the angel
Suddenly, there they were along the forest path; two angels.My first reaction was pure awe: ‘oh, wow’. I’ve always loved photographing statues, seeing it as a way to play with perspective and composition. But then another thought struck me -perhaps this was a message from above, a gentle reminder that it was time to forgive

track of life
The world around us seems caught in a state of disarray, where the human scale is often nowhere to be found.It feels as though the rudder of our ship has broken loose, driven by shifting winds into every possible direction. Injustice is justified, while what is true and straight is bent beyond recognition. And so

one voice
The beautiful city of Zürich. In several places on the street I see slogans written against the war in Gaza- Pro Palestina and against Israel’s policies. Then I come across a demonstration of about 300 people with protest signs and flags.Between the protesters , children also walk along. Here, you don’t need to fear any

if
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,Or being hated, don’t give

Leap of Faith
I have always respected free spirits, someone who follows their true “soul mission” despite the prejudices of the mainstream.The skating ‘Robin Hood’, a role model for many underprivileged young kids in Paris (1993), an empowerment in brotherhood, growth and self-respect.It is these encounters that always inspire me. A reminder to follow my own path, rolling

release the dragonfly
The magic of life, the connection with the nature around you. It is not in the digital connection, nor in the approaching end of free digitalization, but as an antidote in the loss of our human side. © E n i s ∞ r song: Above the Waves of Crystal Water – John Metcalfe If

what a world
It’s always been a pull on me: the injustice in the world. You can protect yourself against it by turning away, closing your eyes, but sooner or later you’ll find yourself in the crossfire. It actually starts very small, like a ripple effect in the water that grows ever larger—giving a smile, showing compassion and

you & I, we are all warriors
© E n i s ∞ r song: Warrior – Yeah Yeah Yeahs Of course, it’s always about connection — the bridge between people. The right words for understanding and respect. It’s about seeing beyond the differences, the hunger for each other’s uniqueness. That is true love.

circle of life
It is the circle of life, the meeting place.Where people arrive, and others move on.Within that lies growth, and the lessons of life. This journey is often accompanied by struggle, pain, or disappointment.It is the rich palette of emotions, like colors.The choices of letting go, or allowing in. It is not merely taking or giving,
