But rush upon me thronging, and present
Times past, what once I was, and what am now.”

“Retreating from the world
will not liberate you.
Happiness is not found in
a secluded forest hut or isolated cave.

and everything else do you become Enlightened.
Only by going deeply and fully into the world
do you attain liberation.”

Ouen reached over Franks and took Amara’s hovering, blood-stained, hand in his.”
