what is thinking?

igår så jeg dette stykket sammen med line, på avant garden i trondheim. stykket handler om forholdet mellom hannah arendt og martin heidegger. eller, det tar utgangspunkt i det, men handler om å tenke og om kjærlighet, og villkårene for disse to. og jeg har tenkt og tenkt og tenkt. det var så fantastisk. jeg vil ha Carly Wijs inne i stua mi hele tida, snakkende. veldig, veldig mange ord jeg ville huske. det enkle scenesettet, og den utrolig gode prestasjonen var intens og føltes viktig. og jeg ble glad av augustinhenvisningene. han har sagt mye rart, men hans tanker og formuleringer om vennskap er gull verd.

All kinds of things rejoiced my soul in their company: to walk and laugh, and to do each other kindnesses; to read pleasant books together; to pass from lightest jesting to talk of the deepest matters; to disagree without rancour, as one might disagree with oneself, and then to season through this very rare dissension our normal agreement; to teach each other and to learn from each other.

These, and similar things, came out of our hearts as we gave affection and received it in return, and were shown by facial expression, by voice, by the eyes and by a thousand other pleasing gestures, kindled a flame which fused our souls together, and, of many, made us one.
