Whose Eye is on the Sparrow?

It rains, a gale rises, the big top collapses, fire breaks out, panic, people trample their neighbors to death as faced with the prospect of dying they make the decision, now, swiftly, who matters most. "I matter. I. I. I matter."

...I fly alone, apart from the flock, on long journeys through storm and clear skies to another summer. Hear me!

I have been for a long time at your side


"I see them! Over there against the stormy sky. They are all there..." ~ Det sjunde inseglet





"By this time I'd had the experience of dying patients at the hospital and I was becoming interested in dying and death and resenting the way I'd been deprived of experience of death almost as I would have resented being deprived of love...By the beginning of the next academic year I switched my studies from embryology to death."
