• ¿Qué te asusta? ¿Qué hace que se te erice el vello de los brazos, que te suden las palmas de las manos, que la respiración se te entrecorte en el pecho como una fiera enjaulada? ¿Es la oscuridad? ¿Un recuerdo fugaz de un cuento, fantasmas, duendes y brujas que se esconden en las sombras? ¿Es la forma en que el viento se levanta justo antes de una tormenta, la insinuación de humedad en el aire que te hace querer correr a casa a la seguridad de tu fuego? ¿O es algo más profundo, algo mucho más aterrador, un monstruo en lo más profundo de tu ser que sólo has vislumbrado a trozos, el vasto desconocido de tu propia alma donde los secretos se reúnen con un terrible poder, la oscuridad interior?

• You and I are standing this very second at the meeting place of two eternities: the vast past that has endured forever, and the future that is plunging on to the last syllable of recorded time.

So let's be content to live the only time we can possible live: from now until bedtime.
