Welcome to Contemporary Writings by Satis Shroff (Freiburg)

Hi Everybody! Writing is something wonderful, whether you write poems or prose (short-stories, fiction, non-fiction) and it's great to express yourself and let the reader delve into your writings and share the emotions that you have experienced through the use of verbs, the muscles of a story, as my Creative Writing Prof Bruce Dobler at the University of Freiburg, Germany) used to say. I'd like to share my Contemporary Writings with YOU! Happy reading.

Sincerely,

Satis Shroff

An improvised Heckerzug from anno 1848-49 accompanied us to the next place at the Tulla Strasse 15, past beautiful green trees and meadows in Zähringen to the Thomasgemeinde. Underway we made a stop to sing the famous German freedom song: Die Gedanken sind frei, meaning thereby that one's thoughts are free despite the despotism and strict authority under which the people of Zähringen and elsewhere had to suffer.
