About the Book

Es geht ums Unterwegssein. Gehend, laufend, fahrend, fliegend, zu Fuß, auf dem Arbeitsweg, auf Spaziergängen, Wanderungen, Reisen. Dabei lässt sich vieles erleben und beobachten, über manches nachdenken, sinnieren, raisonnieren. Über Klänge zum Beispiel: Warum ist es so schwierig, die Geräusche eines Krans oder die Laute der Vögel zu beschreiben? Oder über Wolken, vielfältige Gebilde, physikalisch gesehen Ansammlungen feiner Wassertropfen oder Eisteilchen, darüber hinaus Wunderwerke der Ästhetik, der Einmaligkeit, der Wechselhaftigkeit, der Vergänglichkeit. Blumen zeigen uns den ewigen Kreislauf von Wachsen, Blühen, Welken, Vergehen und wieder Entstehen - ein scheinbar sinnloses Kreisen um sich selbst. Ein Kojote im Yellowstone-Nationalpark steht auf einer Anhöhe in lichtdurchfluteter Landschaft, blickt in die Ferne, als ob dort die Wahrheit zu finden wäre, welche Wahrheit auch immer. Seltsame Wesen in Madagaskar, der ältesten Insel der Welt, Versuchslabor der Evolution: Giraffenhalskäfer, Chamäleons, Blattschwanzgeckos, Nektarvögel, Tenreks, Lemuren, darunter Kattas mit den lustigen Ringelschwänzen, die in der Dämmerung von den Bäumen heruntersteigen, sich sammeln, in einer Kolonne zu ihren Schlafstellen in den Felsen wandern, angeführt vom Leitweibchen, die anderen hinterher, zuletzt ein Männchen, das kontrolliert, ob alle da sind.
