Doom is constantly roaming the earth, ready to strike. And stike it does, mercilessly. Harry Mulisch is a great writer, and The discovery of Heaven an incredible mental journey. I am in the middle of it, this is just me poking out my head from that other place, saying hello. Although it does not really register with me, i think perhaps i will find this hello to hello some time in the future and look back at this moment. When i do not know the end of it. Blissful ignorance!
Most people seem to take pictures only at their holidays, and at birthdays and when someone marries. That makes for an odd archive of your life, doesn't it? Likewise most news, and a huge portion of blogs focuses on accidents and large disasters. No, i don't think we should pretend there aren't problems, but this hung-uppedness of the tragedy of life makes for a very odd archive of our lives, doesn't it?
