Anima mundi

Vacuum wich contracts itself to pinhead, in unbearable tension ? explode and expand ? infinite expand in always more complex structures and forms.

On approximately a page writer compresses billion years up to some minutes ... where upon Walter appears at stage. The first person has a bad relation with his father. He learns to hate his father because of his contempt for him, because of his drinking, curses, throw of furniture and dinner-service, kicking on doors and cabinets.

Walter is born in a region, bordering to three countries, where war has frequently been. He grows up in fear and trembles. If he is sixteen, he realises that his mother accessory too is. ?Why are you married with him??, he ask her. ?Because I love him?, she answers. The relation with his father becomes always more terrible and one a day they beat each other. He gets an accident and lies a month in the hospital. Afterwards he goes to a rehabilitation-centre for alcoholics. There he mets Andreas. These learn him that humanity is a pyramid, of wich to the basis the colourless live, the less colourless more up and at the top the specials, the chosen ones ... the eagles wich can fly away.

Andreas is the son of refugees from Istrië. They lie at each other on chamber and hold far into the night conversations concerning people and living, the are inseparable, spirit relatives.
They are dismissed two weeks after each other from the clinic. They meet each other once again and during that conversation Andreas keep him there for that two manners are for mediocrity escape: the one is art, the other is action.
He leaves on an early morning quietly and without farewell takes the house and will go to Rome to be an artist there: writer, poet or perhaps even philosopher. But already rapidly he discovers that Rome not the large stage is on wich dreams become rendered ... Indeed, he writes a book ?Living in flames? but deserves a very little, is used and manipulated. He must reduce himself and begs for a little job as scenario-writer of third rate films and discovers years later that he has none writers-block ... but simply is no writer, also no artist, no chosen one, no eagle ... but to the lower part of the pyramid even live and slide down to the absolute floor of living. He thinks of suicide.
His mother has meanwhile died and has been buried. He lift to Triëst to take farewell of here.
He has a affair with Orsa, a married woman who exchanges him after some time for another one.
After that contemporary euphoria he falls back on in himself, will drink again, gets an accident and lies ten days in a coma. If he comes out from the hospital, there stands rapported on its answering-machine: his father lies already months in a nursing home, their appartment is touching decline.
He goes home, cleans the mess and finds a letter of Andreas. ?Dear Walter?: writes Andreas, and pronounces his presumption that Walter also has not become an eagle because he has shown always more inclination to flight then to fight. He self has crawled away in a hole ... he has discovered too late that he has gone the wrong way. That happened in Africa, on the border with Tsjaad. During a guard-duty he got a desert-fox for its course and would shoot him down.
At that moment the fox looked at him and don?t tried to escape. The sight was aimed exact at his face, I should have shot him in the middle. But I did not do it ... I could not do it. The letter finishes with: If you receive this letter, come then, if you can, if you want ... come. I wait for you. Andreas.
Finally, he goes to his father. Of the man who a fright for him has been, was nothing concerning then a frail figure, frozen under his sheets. He looks after him the last days of his life. A day for his dead his father stammers whereas he hold him in his arms: ?Forgive me Walter, Forgive me.?
And gasping, whereas their tears themselves mix on the pillow of his fathers bed, he realised that he has reconciled himself with his fatherr. He buries his father, settles all necessary formalities and decides to go to Andreas. Arrived in the convent, sister Irene, the old nun, takes him to the open
space middle on the lawn a woden cross stands: ?There is Andreas?, she says to him.
Later, if he finds a type of diary in Andreas backpacket and he reads ... penetrates the abomination he has to live with ... and did not know how to go further. His last words were: ?Forgive me, forgive me.? Sister Irene says him to pray for Andreas. ?I cannot?, he answers. Then she looks at him and says: ?Nobody can. For to learn you must firstly put your proudly aside.?
He remains at the non, who has her?s own history. If she dies a year later, he buries her with the words wich she has given him on a note, a pray of the holy Franciscus: ?He who forgives, shall be forgiven; he who dies, he is aroused to truth live.?
