For my beloved philosopher who taught me so much through her books.

I am so shocked that she has passed away. I read her books and pass them on to family and friends. I am just sitting there thinking that I would like to thank her so much, for all she has meant to me for so many years. So I went to google again to track her down and just read that she has passed away. I am deeply sad that I was never able to thank her and tell her how wonderful I think she is. I enjoy her wonderful books to this day. 

Thank you wonderful woman. I love you and always will. This is my tribute to you.

With all my love,

Marjon

About

Ode from Marjon to Helena Klitsie.

Of course Helena must be added to Amsterdam.

Because she is the sharpest writer.
Because what she writes matters.
Because what she writes is so much fun to read.
Because what she writes is accessible to everyone.

Helena Klitsie

Helene Klitsie bestudeerde grote westerse filosofen en oosterse wijzen, vond haar eigen stem, ging schrijven en gaf lezingen.
