“The distress of seeing my problems immediately solved corroded me. As long as we live like this, we are never free. We are tied to our weaknesses, always wanting to know what will come next, what others are thinking, what we should do. This is a habit to which we should not bow. We have to live in the present. I understood this very well during those many days in the Closed Forest, where I wavered between the desire to simply give up and the urge to continue, hoping to see the day when the evil that had befallen me was finally over. I reached a point where I was not running from the fields anymore, but from myself. In the end, I discovered that no matter where I was, I would have to face myself.”
