Dear Future Historian,
Let’s talk about dreams. The, so called, 5th dimension. This mythopoetic realm of Chronos. Where time is irrelevant, and continuity unnecessary. The best efforts of our subconscious to talk to us, according to Carl Jung.
Once upon a time there was a little girl who got lost in the maze of Time.
She had hidden there a long time ago because from a young age she learned how harsh reality can become. And now she was afraid to go out.
Someone
somewhere, at
some point.. opened a book. And
as s/he turned, or
scrolled,
in the first
page, imagined.. and
created..
This is a story about psychological-problem-solving. It is in tree parts, tree versions, with the same beginning, but different choices that the hero makes, different approaches on how to solve an internal-crack...
Dear future historian,
In my bucket list I 'had to' be somewhere ancient in 2000 New Year’s Eve. Somewhere historically interesting. I had been in Athens a gazillion times, so I thought to go to Rome, since the Pyramids were too expensive. Having a limited budget, I went with a private coach company, with a very financially attractive package. It was supposed we'd do an Italy tour, and spent New Year’s Eve in Rome.
So.. once upon a time (let's say at the end of the 80s) there was a girl with a long bucket list. Going to see the Olympic games was part of that list. She wasn’t really interested in sports
It was the history of the games that she admired. The ancient custom of stopping battles, even during war, that she admired. Well.. she knew that was not happening anymore, but still, she always wanted to be part of history. The Olympic games had (in her mind) some of the magic of the ancient philosophers or something.
