To survive each passing day was my goal in life. At villages where we managed to find some happiness by being treated to food and fresh water, I knew it was temporary and that we were only passing through.

A što svijet hvali dobre i izdašne ljude, to je zato što od njih i njihove propasti živi.

Ponekad ?ovek preživljuje takve stvari, da sama ?injenica da ih je preživeo zna?i ne samo pobedu i izbavljenje nego i ?udo; jedno ponovno, radosno ro?enje po naro?itoj milosti viših sila.

Preda mnom je no? bez sna, nedogledna, jarosna, ubila?ka pustinja. ?ini mi se da je živo bi?e ne?e preživetini videti joj kraja. A meni valja živeti i ?ekati. Živeti sa nadom, u ?ekanju. Pa i bez nade.

Tako im prolazi no? i sa njom život, sav od opasnosti i stradanja, ali jasan, nepokolobeljiv i prav u sebi. Vo?eni drevnim i nasle?enim nagonima, oni ga cepkaju i dele na trenutne utiske i neposredne potrebe, gube?i se potpuno u njima. Jer jedino tako, žive?i svaki trenutak odvojeno i ne gledaju?i ni napred ni natrag, može se ovakav život podneti i živ ?ovek sa?uvati za bolje dane.

You see, the soul already knows you are always safe and survival is not your issue. It is your Creator's issue.
