I have ben watching these videos and especially the second (which continues in another video) impressed me, not quite so much for the technical aspects of forging any kris as for the story of this healing kris made to purpose for this person whom went to great lengths and a complex journey to arrive to acquire this kris.

Despite being a positivist and rationalist, a part of me not only admires and has studied the relationship between the things of heaven and earth ( I am convinced that there is more to it as Hamlet suggests ) and I have felt attracted to these themes since my youth.

I arrived very late to the kris, but a part of me thinks that the kris arrived to me for a purpose. Although contradictory and difficult to combine with positivism and rationalism as it is , I just take it at face value. Certain krises are now with me, I am not so quite sure of their “ objective” quality but that is, to some extent of relative concern to me.
