    Desire, desire which knows, we draw no advantage from our shadows except from some veritable sovereignties accompanied by invisible flames, invisible chains, which, coming to light, step after step, cause us to shine.

    To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it, and when is the taste refracted into so many hues and savors of ripeness and earth, and when do our senses know any thing so utterly as when we lack it? And here again is a foreshadowing -- the world will be made whole. For to wish for a hand on one's hair is all but to feel it. So whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again.

    But someone has opened the door to a dark room within me, and the light has been lit within, like a beacon shining in the dark. And all is clear, and yet, still hidden in shadow, and I finally understand some of what you tell me, because someone else understands. Life is an adventure, even unto death, which is only yet another. The road is worth traveling well.
