Those who are solely governed by the Past stand like Lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.

Perhaps it is just the full dimensionality of your own capacity to feel that returns. In this state you think no impediment can be large enough to interrupt your passion.

Anything seems possible. And in the event of failure, it will be this taste of possibility that makes disillusion bitter.

Hope for as much better as you can.'
