Laughter

People's longing goes in two directions. One goes out to contemplate the starry world, its infinite depth and its eternal mystery. The other is towards the earth, which provides sensual presence, pleasure and suffering. It is a conflict between the two. Gertraud Wiggli von Loewenich seeks balance in poetry. In poetry she finds the centre of her humanity and lets readers participate in it with her new book of texts and poems. i am in you my child i am a little thing a nucleotide a grain of dust in you from my star i give you eyes for spruce and fox friends to laugh and cry strength in your legs and my name which you will pass on to your future.
