Nothing is secret (Or nobody is perfect)

“For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest,
nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.” – Luke 8:17

From 2005 to 2020, I accumulated recordings with secrets in them. Some of these recordings contain confessions of secrets; others were made while secrets were being produced. The archive held approximately 200 recordings. No one but me has ever listened to them. I listened to the complete archive only once, by myself. Then I deleted the whole archive of secrets, with no possibility of ever recovering the files. The only way to know about these secrets is to remember that listening.

“Having a soul means having a secret. (…) Few people have souls.” – Pascal Quignard, Vie secrète

“A secret is powerful when it is empty.” – Umberto Eco
