Circadian Hikes

I love to hike and the poems in »Circadian Hikes« are arranged in a circle: night, dawn, noon and evening. I feel that much in nature and life goes in cycles: a constant repetition symbolizing a dichotomy between standstill and change, being and becoming. __ Castle I am a castle by the sea I have everything inside of me Every room another mood I am lit up, cellar to roof So many doors and hiding places So many windows and open spaces Sometimes, storms rattle outside Raindrops knock and sunbeams shine I commune with them and stand As the castle that I am
