About Me

Too many lives to remember - I get lost in my parts (a fisherman by the Indian Ocean; a horse; a monk in the Middle Ages; a street child in India; several lives as an Australian Aboriginal; a child gassed at Treblinka, etc. Also, a simultaneous life in Soweto.)My favourite dish is: peppermint ice-cream

My Interests

Collecting small rocks; playing my drums while the neighbours are out (I'm a closet drummer); meeting my wild pigeon in the park and looking for traces of pollonium (a kind of pollen); riding horses and camels; reading in my secret garden; writing secret messages in my diary which no one will ever read; sand trafficking; walking; getting lost in the desert
