“Er würde in den Tag hineinleben, nicht nachdenken, würde Leute - sich eingeschlossen - in verzwickte Lagen bringen, und wenn es zu schlimm würde, würde er auf seine Härte zurückgreifen und sich aus dem Schlamassel befreien. Und die anderen? Die würde er zurücklassen, damit sie selbst schwimmen oder untergehen konnten. Fels war hart, und diese Härte prägte seinen Charakter, aber er setzte sie immer noch destruktiv ein”

“Perhaps our dreams are there to be broken, and our plans are there to crumble, and our tomorrows are there to dissolve into todays, and perhaps all of this is all a giant invitation to wake up from the dream of separation, to awaken from the mirage of control, and embrace whole-heartedly what is present. Perhaps it is all a call to compassion, to a deep embrace of this universe in all its bliss and pain and bitter-sweet glory. Perhaps we were never really in control of our lives, and perhaps we are constantly invited to remember this, since we constantly forget it. Perhaps suffering is not the enemy at all, and at its core, there is a first-hand, real-time lesson we must all learn, if we are to be truly human, and truly divine. Perhaps breakdown always contains breakthrough. Perhaps suffering is simply a right of passage, not a test or a punishment, nor a signpost to something in the future or past, but a direct pointer to the mystery of existence itself, here and now. Perhaps life cannot go 'wrong' at all.”
