“It was warm like a summer day. It was candy canes and pinecones, it was epic and awesome, it was dirt and leaves and rain, it was grass and lake water and sunshine.
It was a forest so alive, so untouched.”

“The Midgard Serpent opened its mouth and swallowed the ox head. The hook dug into the gums of its mouth, and when the serpent felt this, he snapped back so hard that both of Thor鈥檚 fists slammed against the gunwale. Thor now became angry and, taking on his divine strength, he strained so hard that both his feet pushed through the bottom of the boat. Using the sea floor to brace himself, he began pulling the serpent up on board. It can be said that no one has seen a more terrifying sight than this: Thor, narrowing his eyes at the serpent, while the serpent spits out poison and stares straight back from below. It is told that the giant Hymir changed colour. He grew pale and feared for his life when he saw the serpent and also the sea rushing in and out of the boat.”

“The swordsman said, 鈥淒on鈥檛 you see? The point is that you can鈥檛 do the right thing unless you first decide to do the right thing. One way or the other, people err. Circumstance carry them into misdeed. Without any reason, without any thought, without any intention, they find themselves having been turned astray, onto the wrong path. The opposite never happens. No one says, 鈥榃ithout realizing it, I found myself doing the right thing,鈥� or 鈥楢t some point I must have started doing good deeds,鈥� or 鈥業 inadvertently did something right.鈥� Without intent, there is no being right. Proper conduct requires proper intent. Without first deciding to the right thing, you can鈥檛 do it. If you say you hurt because you can鈥檛 do the right thing, that鈥檚 because you haven鈥檛 decided what you want to do.
He鈥檇 done his best to simplify it for her, but he didn鈥檛 pull any punches. Ultimately, his advice remained too abstract for a mere mortal, but his words were just what her tumultuous heart thirsted for, and they stung her core like a disinfecting splash of alcohol in a wound.
The man continued, 鈥淭here are many reasons not to do the right thing, plenty of causes for indecision and fear. People can blame it on others or on society at a large 鈥� or even on the times or on fate. But what people who don鈥檛 do the right thing must understand is that it鈥檚 not because they can鈥檛, but because they don鈥檛. You certainly don鈥檛 have to force yourself to behave the right way, but never allow yourself to forget that the choice was yours to make. Everyone who does right follows the steps: decide, then act. To remain on the first step while fretting over the second is the height of folly.”

“A great ox like a hill in a barren field
Standing black against the dawn
With body once broken, now healed,
With silver-mended horns and brawn:
He pushed past the sun
And the mountains, unplowed immensities,
And with his silver won
A briar-crown of vanities.”
