Magic windows
... right out of an Ingmar Bergman movie ...
...
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
from what I notice, Bergman was "obsessed" by the very theme of clocks and - even more so - mirrors and windwos
Bergman liked Germans and Germany
- at a time even - in the aftermath of WW II when most Europeans hated Germans intensely - for more than a good cause -
- likewise -
I
like Bergman and Sweden
...
although, admittedly, I do not know much about Swedes and Sweden
: but to put it this way :
! there is a common ultra Lutheran inheritance !
among 'me' and many 'Swedes'
this
? ultra Lutheran inheritance ?
... ...
! Hermann Hesse was another exponent of the same socio-cultural (Lutheran) background !
as
- was -
Charles Darwin
Friedrich Nietzsche
and
Emanuel (rather than Immanuel) Kant
as a younger child - in a widely considerable - Lutheran diaspora
I
was really looking forward to the annual
"Gustav-Adolf-Fest"
(in Bietigheim)
you know what that means
("Gustav-Adof-Celebration")
- don't you -
! be aware that there are two historic figures inherently connected to European Protestantism !
without them in our days no Lutheranism or Calvinism would exist in Europe, and most probably no Presbyterianism
... Methodism and so on in America or anywhere else ...
Willem van Oranje : Koning der Nederlanden
and
Gustav II Adolf : Kung av Sverige

? a "Bergmanian" or "Tarkovskian" scenery in my grandfather's forest cabin ?
↓ ↓ ↓
a
forest cabin
! my !
absolutely
not many people in the world are in a position to find happiness in a sanctuary and hideaway of such a special kind
as a four, five and six-year-old child I stayed there with my brother and my grandmother for weeks alone
: this is why I am in a position to reproduce a real :
!!! atmosphere !!!
b.t.w.
as probably not many people in the world can do so
- anymore -
