Summary:
When Sophus’s grandfather died, he left behind an old encyclopedia with a mysteriously empty page. In this episode, Sophus talks about happens when we run out of words, as when the mind is made blank by old age or when our loved ones die and we grieve them in silence. Empty pages are a powerfully symbol. They can mark both an ending and a new beginning, they can represent hope as well as grief. Blank pages are everywhere, and surprisingly beautiful. Hosted and written by Sophus Helle Sound editing by Simone Nystrup-Larsen Edited by Andreas Lindinger Saxild Find out more at sophushelle.com/monkeymind Monkey Mind Combining wit and wisdom, silliness and seriousness, the podcast Monkey Mind by Sophus Helle takes the audience on a weekly jaunt through the jungle of the mind.

It tells stories that are designed to make the listener chuckle, then reflect, drawn from both the host’s own life and from the deep well of history.
