Sandcastle
At the edge of early morningI built a castle made of goldwith towers greeting newborn sunlightand moats in quiet ancient cold. But from afar there came the breathingof the sea that slowly nearedher fingers silver salted driftingtouched the work that I held dear. One wave a soft and foaming arcmade trembling walls give way.A second…

walk & wander
We walk and wander,on beaten paths or through uncharted ground,always in our minds,seeking meaning in who we wish to become. At times it seemsour spirit drifts far ahead in thought,leaving the body trailing behind in quiet matter. Those who live with awarenesssee along the way more patterns,messages, and subtle signs.The mind stays busy,while the body,…

transition
The thumping sound of rotor blades and the shrieking motor exhaust of a trauma helicopter flying low overhead. Just like everything in life, things can change suddenly. I briefly look up, a shiver runs through me; up there, someone might be fighting for their life. Close to the transition between life and the hereafter, like…

twilight road
I had good conversations on the road where time rushed by in the twilight. Conversations about the role of men in our society, the rising emergence of AI, and the current, restless geopolitics. ‘In my head, I see an image of a man attentively looking into his rear-view mirror. He is shaving, while his electric…

transformative
We humans are always on the move — together on the path of life — as time connects our biological clock to the different seasons of existence. Born in a budding spring, gathered in the warmth of a sultry summer breeze, and growing wise in the turbulent autumn. Sometimes we walk straight ahead, other times…

the waiting outside
Actually, I’ve been waiting for 54 years of my life. Waiting for the lottery to favor me. Waiting for my turn, for the other to appear, waiting for a response. Waiting for tomorrow. It is the spiritual bus stop, the expectation of being picked up—does the timetable still hold true? In the waiting, events pass…

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…

embrace your eccentricity
The world keeps turning, even if you choose a different path than the straight one like most people.You are always the dot in the circle. © E n i s ∞ r song: Weird – Sebadoh Eccentricity is the courage to color outside the lines in a world that fears blank spaces.

Mobility
Real mobility is the dance of the soul, not the steps of the body, but the willingness to flow with change and embrace new directions. © E n i s ∞ r song: The Sheltering Sky – Alva Noto

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…

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…
