The first 7 years

…of my life I grew up in Lorsbach, a small village near Frankfurt. I still remember the street light near our house, which was attached on both sides of the street with a rope. At night, from my bed, I could watch moths tirelessly circling the light in their strange ups and downs.

Sometimes the light swayed in the wind and conjured staggering shadows on the walls of the bedroom until I fell asleep.
