“I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections.
And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly, that I am ill.
I am ill because of the wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self
and the wounds to the soul take a long, long time, only time can help
and patience, and a certain difficult repentance,
long difficult repentance, realisation of life's mistake,
and the freeing of oneself
from the endless repetition of the mistake
which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.”
― Under Saturn's Shadow: The Wounding and Healing of Men

But the kingdom of the wish is at the other end of the night.
May you fare well, /companero/; let us journey together joyfully
