The Way Back Home Quotes

“I’m making tiny pictures,
on a canvas that is bigger than anyone 
can ever imagine.
My tiny pictures seem to get lost in the divine, 
chaotic masterpiece,
but still, the masterpiece wouldn’t be whole
without me and my tiny pictures.”
― Nanne Nyander, The Way Back Home: Poems

“Into magic-land, I disappear, when I’m not vigilant. 
Into magic-land, I lose myself completely.
Into magic-land, I disappear,
and get lost in the magic of the mind’s creation.”
― Nanne Nyander, The Way Back Home: Poems

“Fragmented memories,
lost or not lost are holding me back. 
But aren’t they just memories?
What am I?
Not a memory.
Small tiny memories not quite remembered,
are keeping me bound to this world. 
Why do they come up now?
I was so near, everything was so calm. 
Everything was so clear.
And now I’m up in the mind again,
trying to find solutions to the non-existing problem. 
The jigsaw puzzle doesn’t want to be solved, 
doesn’t want to be put together,
doesn’t want to reveal the whole picture. 
But does it really matter?”
― Nanne Nyander, The Way Back Home: Poems
