Fragmenter
Alt bรธr lรฆses. Ogsรฅ virkeligheden. Langsomhed er svรฆr
at tilgรฅ. Det usagte. At give sig selv en tanke for at forblive
i kontakt med sig selv. Sproget lรฆnges langsomt. Det usagte
er nostalgi. Jeg tรธr ikke erobre min egen tรฆtte forstรฅelse. At
verden eksisterer. Fragmenter er kompleksitet.

Fragments
Everything should be read. Also reality. Slowness is difficult
to access. The unsaid. To give oneself a thought in order to
remain in touch with oneself. Language longs slowly. The
unsaid is nostalgia. I do not dare to conquer my own close
understanding. That the world exists. Fragments are complexity.
