Rating: "I can't help but repeat to myself: I'm not in this swamp and there's no crocodile behind me and there's no rope in front of me, and there's no girl sitting on the edge eating a hot dog... and if I believed it were all true, I could do nothing but die, because Death would no longer come to console me with some affectionate words. After all, she has a brother who believes in hope." (Tori Amos)
Destiny, Destruction, Dream, Delirium, Despair, Desire, and precisely Death: they are seven, they are eternal, they reign over us, some are very nice, some are very dangerous, some are the very origin of the Stars, some are no longer seen, and some eventually meet everyone...
"Sexton: Hey, but if you really are the spirit of death, weren't you supposed to be with him at the moment of passing?
Didi: In fact, I was here, Sexton"
It has already been written that all girls would like to be like her and that all boys would like to be with her, it has been written that every hundred years she becomes mortal and lives for an entire day among us, stuffing herself with oxygen, good manners, and junk food.
Sexton is sixteen years old, he is not in love with anyone, nothing moves him anymore and he wishes to die.
Hettie the Mad is two hundred and fifty years old, she is a soothsayer and a loooong time ago she hid her Heart and would like to find it again.
Can Death, who today is nothing special, manage to solve their problems?
We are all here to learn, we are born to improve ourselves, to give ourselves to others, to make this crappy world (even New York) a better place.
Obviously, there are the ugliness and the hopeless (even if, as the Redhead reminds us, Dream is convinced that anyone can find hope as long as they have a dream...) but these are parentheses that shouldn’t stop our quest, and it's strange how only she, Death, who will eventually meet everyone (good and bad, nice and nasty), can teach us the right weight of things: the high cost of living, which even she, once a century, has to pay.
When you're a teenager you can't realize it, when you're an adult you don't want to realize it...
But if we found a little more time to talk to her perhaps this world would be better: because she is wise even if relentless. She is approachable and also inevitable.
"Hettie the Mad: If she was still here, I would have asked her for advice. Surely she would have thought of a place where nobody could find it, not even for money. anyway here we remain. She will be back soon"
The important thing is not to be afraid to share.
