“So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all.

Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.”

“Go now. Our journey is done. And may we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path.”

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
― Søren Kierkegaard
