The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life… - Hermann Hesse

If nature has made you a bat, you shouldn't try and be an ostrich. You consider yourself odd at times, you accuse yourself of taking a road different from most people. You have to unlearn that! Gaze into the fire, the clouds and as soon as the inner voices begin to speak - surrender to them. Don't ask first whether it is permitted or would please your teachers or your father or some God. You will ruin yourself if you do that. That way you will become earth bound, a vegetable.

Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor, Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.

One can beg, buy, be presented with and find love in the streets, but it can never be stolen.
