Klein Zaches is one of those secret zones in my neighbourhood where I can just sink into a book, comfortably immersed in its cosy yellow glow, surrounded by decades-old paintings whose quiet stories I’ll never know, which connects me there emotionally.
It’s a kind of escape from a world that’s all too often ruled by ''same''ness and social media rules. Here, it feels like people gather just to be present, as if in a silent agreement to keep it off Instagram or others. And those small, familiar nods and glances from people who’ve been coming for years, those are worth a lot in my world.
I sometimes feel that when I finally sit down to write my book one day, Klein Zaches will be woven into its pages. So, if by some chance you drop by here and spot me, well… let me say "hello" in advance! :')
