" Who is it that most needs forgiving?
Who is it that feels so much pain?
Who is it that would really like to fly
Far far away?
Who is that can return
Free and gentle
Like the rain?
It is the Self, my love,
My adored one,
It is the Self
That even now
It is running for its Life
Running to its life
Into the arms
Of death. "

― Alice Walker , Now Is the Time to Open Your Heart
