Today’s Question by Aart Hilal

Would you be able to change your style of writing completely? Would you be able to, for instance, write a biography of one person that you admire and respect, or write intimate memories? Maybe a collection of poems?

In terms of content, you must keep in mind that my literature is much more the result of a paradox than that of an implacable logic. The paradox is the tension that exists in my soul. Like in archery, the paradox is the bow that can be both tense and relaxed. I know that it’s important to have values in life, but I’ve always been more drawn to incoherence, because life is not static but rather like the tides, coming and going.
That’s why I can’t say in which direction my internal compass of questioning will guide me.

    It is a blessing to not know what is around the corner. It’s the spice of life. Modern day media hasn’t unfortunately realized this yet. Do we really have to know everything? Do we really have to see into the future? What’s important is here and now, “this moment”. I look forward to tomorrow, and hope for the very fact that the sun rises once more, blessing me with a new day….and if that new day brings me a new book from Paulo Coelho, then all the better for it ;)

    Love and many precious moments, Paul
