Everything is Illuminated
Comedy, Ding, Drama October 17th, 2007
Good movie, good book and good ding:
Jonathan! Â I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. Â It has shown me... Â ...that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. Â It is always along the side of us... Â ...on the inside, looking out. Â Like you say, inside out. Â Jonfen, in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. Â And you will always be along the side of mine. Â Our families will be with us, and our families' families. Â Your grandfather. Â And perhaps, in some way, my grandfather as well. Â It is possible I will never know why Grandfather did this to himself. Â Perhaps he wished to bury his life... Â ...along the side of his past. Â But I must tell you, Jonfen... Â ...in this moment, he seemed, as if for the first time in his life... Â ...contented to be where he was. Â Jonfen, I am sending you this... Â ...because we have shared something to exist for. Â And, of course, in case anyone comes searching.
