It is always important to know when something has reached it's end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over. Slowly, i began to realise that i could not go back and force things to be as they once were: those two years, which up until then had seemed an endless inferno, were now beginning to show me their true meaning...
We could spend the rest of our life saying that we love such a person or thing, when the truth is that we are merely suffering because, instead of accepting love's strength, we are trying to diminsh it so that it fits the world in which we imagine we live....
The more i thought about this, the weaker the Zahir became and the closer i moved to myself. I prepared myself mentally to do a great deal of work, work that would require much silence, meditation, and perseverance...
I could not force something that had not yet reached its "time to sew"
