The Airportline: Observations

When I was in Copenhagen I felt that I had to write to Bodil Malmsten. She is a Swedish author and I eat her books like they are chocolate. So I wrote an email to someone in charge of her webpage and asked if she could forward it to her. How to find Bodil’s email I could never understand. What I wrote I can’t remember either, it was morning and I was confused and just wrote. And pushed send. It had to do with how amazing I think she is, although I of course phrased it much better than that. It is good to tell people that are good that they are good. To not take them for granted. On the internet there is a culture of finding problems and complaining. There is nothing inherently wrong in that. But sometimes people seem to forget to mention the good stuff, the nice things, all that beauty that you stumble across. Because I do hope you stumble across beauty at times. Anyway, recently Bodil thanked all the nice comments she got for the radio program she did in Swedish radio this past weekend. All the nice bloggers. She wrote it under the heading ‘Tack’ (Thank you in Swedish). She also thanked that no one got back to her and told her that she would burn in the everlasting fire and die slowly for something she said.
