“Like an open book

I long to tell you the story of my whole life.
I want to show you my innermost like an open book so that you can read it.
Anything that you want.

I want to be perceivable and … that you can perceive me.
I want to be comprehensible, like a mathematical formula you can solve, even if I cannot solve myself.

I long for you to solve me. I long for you to read me like an open book.
Anything that you want.

“Sometimes the path that leads to finding your very own self leads across the heart of another person. And when the time has come, you have to let him go, because some people are your preterite.

Don't indulge yourself in reminiscences of the past. There's always a reason why things happen the way they do. And if something old is dying, something new will be born.

The present is the only thing that matters. It's the only thing that really exists.
The past shouldn't be a part of it. It belongs to us, as all the things that we have experienced, suffered, learned, but it should never affect our present.

The only thing we can form is what is present. And this present is the most valuable property we own.
And we must make use of this present. We must cherish it.

And I fill my present with dreams of fairytale castles and walks in the sun that is getting warmer on every new day.
I fill it with dreams of glances onto the lavish splendour of rose-coloured spring and summer blossoms, of new poetry and new songs, of melodies in my heart and kindred souls, of new colours on my skin and flights through strange yet familiar worlds and the ever anew and ever perpetuating abundance and magic of life.

Because the tragedy in life is never tragic as a whole. It grants us the chance to be more than what we have been before.”
― Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose

“swimming in the deep
souls
lost and found
within the event horizon

on any day
no goodbye is forever”
― Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose

“Love doesn't solely consist of books, films, and music and sharing the same past.
It consists of the present and the future.
It consists of the understanding that you want to grow and prosper together. That you don't solely look at each other but also look in the same direction.

We faced different directions, and it's no use to stick to that.
We would waste away our time. We only live once. We're obliged to fill our time how we honestly, sincerely, want it to be.

My darling, sometimes love isn't enough.
Ours we have lost in a time in which both of us kept moving without looking at each other.

You will always be a part of me, and I will remain a part of you. You were a good chapter, but never more than that.”
― Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose

“Clouds add character to the heavens.”
― Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose

“In can feel God in everything, but especially in nature.
But man needed to have a place to see the Lord, and thus the churches were built. It started with Solomon's temple so that the ark of the covenant had a place of quiet and rest, as well as the Israelites.

I love churches – those places of encounter, exchange, community, and kindred spirits. But nonetheless, God shines the brightest in nature, and it's manifold beauty.
He is everywhere.

God is love. And if you feel love for another person, the revelation of God is revealed in its most beautiful way – it resembles the beauty of a flower or the swelling and swaying of a willow tree.

Christian faith is gentle and kind.
It is full of hope and love and tolerance for all the people wandering this earth.
That's what I believe in, and that's what I have experienced.”
― Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose

“I'm proud of you.

Five words. So simple. Yet we voice them all too rarely.
I'm proud of you. Of me. Of us. Of everything we are. Of us, as the people we are.
Of everything we have already felt, learned, mastered.

What are you proud of?
And of whom?”
― Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose

“to travel is essential
to grasp the world

to grasp yourself”
― Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose

“I have to write.
I have to write and re-write myself in all that's hidden within me.
The unspoken heart is the place I need to travel to,
to rediscover the language that I had lost.

I felt and hoped myself empty in dreams that never belonged to me.
So how can I be with myself?

My heart struggled itself out of my body, lying shattered in pieces all over the places I've never been to and won't ever be, while my head is the only thing remaining, dethinking itself in all that hadn't been and won't ever be.”
― Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose
