From an Internet Cafe in a big Dubai Mall, I write trying to fathom your urges to plunge while in your native land. Hard to imagine, for someone so luminous and accomplished. But easy for someone who knows one thing, that they know nothing. Someone who takes risks without forfeiting a single part of freedom. I read the book when younger than you and you're right, that bit of lecturing bothered me a bit at the time. Soon I found it dreamy, though, and felt it was kind of cool to be lead to a dream without needing to make the effort. Effortless reach to beauty isn't bad, especially at the age of 25. I don't know what it would have seemed like now. I must say I watched the film with greater pleasure than reading the book. The film had its own sort of abyss, almost like "Les Amants du Pont Neuf". But then again, maybe the Abyss isn't a given. And it isn't obvious. Maybe, like many other things, it is open to interpretation. I'm glad I came to the Internet Cafe today, my Internet connection at home completely out with the fairies. No idea when they're going to fix the thing, Prophet's Birthday and all. Have the town is either depressed because of the crisis or away on holidays. Speaking of Abyss... Abyss and the Unbearable Lightness of Being.
