Sometimes when I try to orient myself, try to determine where I am, on my way through life. What has happened so far? What brought me here? Is it possible to determine all the coincidences, to understand all the twists? Can I explain why I took this path and not that? In some places it …
Lost in thought, Lilith looked at the starry sky, her head nestled in Adam’s lap, who was leaning against the trunk of a tall birch tree on which a chicken had taken its night quarters. Until recently, everyone from the house association was sitting together, everyone who wanted to and mostly all wanted to sit …
„I had a dream last night, but I’m not sure if it was a dream.“ “How can you not be sure if it was a dream? You slept and experienced something that didn’t actually happen. That is probably a dream.“ „How should I know if I’m sleeping when I’m sleeping. There is something soulless and …
