The Frontier
A reflection about death, restlessness, beauty, Europe, and China
Samenvatting
The frontier whispered to me that the world was bigger than the border village where I was born. An infinite number of worlds had to be out there. I wanted to see them all. Suddenly death appeared next to me. Very closely. She hugged me close and murmured: I will never leave you alone.
