As A Person, I'm Polite

We Live In The Best Of Worlds. But Still, It's Like We've Lost Something On The Way To Here: A Sense Of Life. I Can't Know For Sure, I Might Be The Only One Who's Lost It. Maybe Everybody Else Is Living The Now, Thinking They're Having It Well. Anyhow, That Motivated Me To Write The Books.

The Way We Deny Death Says Something About How We Live Our Lives, Doesn't It? At Least In Sweden Or Scandinavia, You Don't Have To Search Further Back In Time Than Maybe Three Generations To Find Another Way To Relate To Death. People Then Had A Different, Closer Relationship With Death; At Least It Was Like That In The Countryside.

The Tree Was So Old, And Stood There So Alone, That His Childish Heart Had Been Filled With Compassion; If No One Else On The Farm Gave It A Thought, He Would At Least Do His Best To, Even Though He Suspected That His Child's Words And Child's Deeds Didn't Make Much Difference. It Had Stood There Before He Was Born, And Would Be Standing There After He Was Dead, But Perhaps, Even So, It Was Pleased That He Stroked Its Bark Every Time He Passed, And Sometimes, When He Was Sure He Wasn't Observed, Even Pressed His Cheek Against It.

If You Are Disappearing From Yourself, But You're Still Writing, Then There Is A Kind Of Activity Of Thinking Going On, Which In My World Is Similar To What's Going On In Music.

For Me, Personally, It Is Very Important That The Days Are Exactly The Same, So I Have Routines. I Do The Same Thing Every Day.
