Unterwegs nach Santiago und Portugal begann für mich im Mai 2012 eine neue Zeit der Wanderungen. Ich kehrte nach vielen Jahrzehnten mit der Kamera zurück zu Lieblingsorten und Schauplätzen meiner Filme, ins Haus meines Großvaters, nach Amerika (Indian Country: Lakota, Navajo, Pueblos) und Südindien (nach 36 Jahren). Mein Fischer Agostin war schon lange gestorben, aber ich nahm seinen Sohn am gleichen Brunnen auf wie 1978, fuhr mit Zug und Riksha tiefer hinein nach Kerala und Tamil Nadu, sah das goldene Matrimandir und die Fishermen Colony.Mein literarisch-photographisches Projekt weitete sich aus, mit meinem Sohn besuchte ich die amerikanische Ostküste und Kanada, mit meiner Partnerin kam ich zum ersten Mal nach Sardinien und ging allein auf eine Wanderung zu Fuß von Nord- nach Südbaden, von meiner ersten Heimat in die zweite. Nach Kreta, auf die archaische Insel, kehrte ich nach 40 Jahren zurück, überall fand ich wiederkehrende Geschichten von Liebe und Trennung, Aufbruch und Heimkehr, vom Vergehen der Zeit, die ich im Schreiben und mit der Kamera festhielt.Das Wiedersehen von nahen Menschen und fernen Orten nach so vielen Jahren, das Weitergehen und Darüberhinaus - davon handelt dieses Buch.
