“…there comes a time
when you cannot go further in a straight line
unless you examine your conscience
with a willingness to catch any cute idea you might have of yourself
to sacrifice it
in order to save whatever can be saved
from the ensuing explosion of pain. Beyond a wall of flames
the road and you
make together one” said the woman. She had a red mark above the right
eyebrow. I wonder what that was.

Comment peut on s'attendre a progresser sur notre chemin si nous n'aprenons rien des pas que nous avons deja faits ?
