Dear Editor,

Fragmenter
Alt bør læses. Også virkeligheden. Langsomhed er svær
at tilgå. Det usagte. At give sig selv en tanke for at forblive
i kontakt med sig selv. Sproget længes langsomt. Det usagte
er nostalgi. Jeg tør ikke erobre min egen tætte forståelse. 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.
