watching that film with the kid running the Jungfrau trail with his old dog and his jung dog i wept with joy and sadness and then i saw fen illin and i just folded like a soggy leaf ima tell you because i am not rich and i am not young and i am not in the mountains and i am old and my dog is illin.
but then i thought of all the bizarre serendipity that occurs in this all too human place and i wept with joy again at my own special fate.
