12.16.25: The Future Library

There’s a project in Norway planting a forest to print books in 100 years. Writers contribute manuscripts nobody will read until then. I love that idea. Stories waiting for readers who don’t exist yet. It’s defiance against the fast pace of today, where everything is published instantly. Imagine being born into a world where a century of anticipation delivers words written long before you existed. It’s humbling. Proof that not all art is for us. Sometimes, it’s a gift for strangers we’ll never meet. A message in a bottle thrown forward, not into the sea, but into time.
