Dan: I have no spiritual beliefs. Honestly, I don¹t even know what that is.
I think sometimes people make connections with one another, and sometimes people make connections with themselves, for all kinds of reasons. I think we¹re all ultimately self-concerned, for all kinds of reasons. Trying to explain those things through story is part of connecting. Trying to define those things through story is partly rejecting. I like OST because it is not story, but rather, it is the way things are. It neither connects nor rejects. It isn¹t interested in me. It doesn¹t ask me to be interested in it. It is not possible to challenge it, or bend the rules, or break it. Nor can I see a reason why anyone would want to. Frankly, I am always surprised that there is anything to talk about on the OS list. I return here after a break, and think: why are you people not just sharing recipes? It¹s not like I¹m surprised people don¹t get it. I¹m just surprised people want to add to it. Sometimes I want to say ³Seriously, what are you *discussing*? It¹s OS. Now, who knows a good warm winter stew recipe?² It is what it is. So is life. I will live, and things will happen, and I will die, and that is what it is. It¹s not possible to challenge it, or bend the rules, or break it. Nor can I see a reason why I would want to. If you like: Life isn¹t interested in me, and it doesn¹t ask me to be interested in it. I have no spiritual beliefs. Honestly, I don¹t even know what that is. Jen x Jenifer Toksvig www.acompletelossforwords.com The Copenhagen Interpretation www.thecopenhageninterpretation.co.uk
