Såsom i en spegel1961

Fredrik:
Father, I'm scared. When I was hugging Karin in the boat, reality was revealed. Do you know what I mean?

David:
I do.

Fredrik:
Reality was revealed, and I collapsed. It's like a dream. Anything can happen. Anything.

David:
I know.

Fredrik:
I can't live in this new world.

David:
Yes, you can. But you must have a support.

Fredrik:
What kind of support? You mean a God? Give me a proof of his existance. You can't.

David:
I can. But you gotta pay attention to what I say.

Fredrik:
Yes. I need to listen.

David:
I can only tell you a thought of my own hopes. It is to know that love exists for real in the human world.

Fredrik:
A sort of special love, I suppose?

David:
All kinds of it. The bigger and the smaller, the most absurd one and the most sublime one. All kinds of love.

Fredrik:
What about the desire for love?

David:
Desire and denying. Trust and distrust.

Fredrik:
Then love is the proof?

David:
I don't know if love is the proof of God's existance or if it's God itself.

Fredrik:
To you, love and God are the same thing.

David:
That thought makes me feel less empty; Makes my desperation less worse.

Fredrik:
Go on, dad.

David:
All of a sudden, emptiness turns into abundance, and desperation turns into life. It's like a temporary death's sentence strike.

Fredrik:
Dad... if it's like how you say it is, then God is all over Karin. We love her so much.

David:
Yes.

Fredrik:
Can't that help her?

David:
I think so.
