“Not soon, as late as the approach of my ninetieth year,/I felt a door opening in me and I entered/the clarity of early morning.” __ Czeslaw Milosz

“You want the endlessness to end,” Alison says, “you want to go home, but there is no home. You despise the tender attachments of the liver and the body, but you also crave them; you bite other people in an attempt to find them, and when that doesn’t work, you bite yourself.” __ Mary Gaitskill

You open one door and close another, and can’t find your way back again – you put one foot in front of the other and assume the maze becomes more transparent or at least you realize which way failed and trust the path you choose keeps going infinitely onward.

“I tell you to open your eyes.”
