Books and photos on paper are a fine way of preserving and keeping my life complete -
who I have become from my youth up, memories of my family, images
of their presence their activities and the places that belong to it, all together
a constantly growing mountain with hair-thin dendrites: the mountain of my life
With a photo and poetry book for Madelief on the occasion of her 26th birthday, with a photo of the Rigi on the cover, seen from Walchwil, and finely branched trees in the foreground (February 9th, 2008)
