This past year, I asked Jonas Mekas, now 96, about death and the afterlife. In summer Mr. Mekas had been hospitalized for a blood disorder that was still mysterious to his doctors. He canceled a trip to Berlin because he was tired and short of breath, and was now walking with a cane, his complexion grayish. Since his 20s he had used his movie camera to protect him from the outside world. I believe it much more than anything that’s written since the 12th century.”
