Glosse: Ein Wal vor der Küste – Eine Lektion über Wesen, die unsere Vorstellungskraft übertreffen
Wir richten an den Wal Fragen, die im Grunde auch an uns selbst gerichtet sein sollten – existentielle Fragen, eingehüllt in maritime Neugier: Wie lange wirst du hier verweilen? Welches Gewicht trägst du wirklich, an Land und in der See? Und was, um alles in der Welt, hat dich an den Timmendorfer Strand verschlagen? Eine nachdenklich-humorvolle Glosse über unsere menschliche Perspektive.
English Translation: A Whale Off the Coast – A Lesson About Beings Beyond Our Imagination

What is your true weight, both on land and at sea? And what, in the world, has brought you to Timmendorfer Strand? A thoughtful and humorous glosse on our human perspective.
