Biodiversified me - Cogito ergo cum
This coessence puts essence itself in the hyphenation - "being-singular-plural" - which is a mark of union and also a mark of division, a mark of sharing that
effaces itself, leaving each term to its isolation and its being-with-the others.
- Jean-Luc Nancy, Being Singular Plural (2000/1996)

Born in Basel on 23 November.
Worked as a nanny in Camberley (UK) and … … in Berlin. Travel and research in Mexico and Guatemala. Caerdydd. Life in the Netherlands was good (mostly). Home again. Nesting with partner. Musil, l'animal que donc je suis. Life-saving surgery. The lightness of darkness in Uppsala. Beginning of my training as mediator. Still (re)searching after all those years. A decisive year, I sense. |
