• ¿Qué experiencias concretas alimentarán tu alma? Nadie puede prescribírtelo; es algo que sólo tú puedes saber y experimentar. Lo que es satisfactorio para una persona puede ser todo lo contrario para otra. A mí me gusta estar en la naturaleza, en la orilla del mar o en la cima de una montaña. La comunión con la naturaleza me lleva al tiempo del alma. Pero para otros, estar en la naturaleza es algo que hay que tolerar, o incluso un calvario, o simplemente lo que haces si eres miembro de una familia que va de acampada.

  Jean Shinoda Bolen

• My divorce has changed my life. I don’t cry anymore. My bad dreams are starting to go away. I feel stronger, as if all these ordeals have toughened me. When I go out in the street, sometimes women in the neighborhood call to me, congratulating me and shouting ‘Mabrouk!’ – a word once tainted by evil memories, but which I know like to hear again. And shouted by women I don’t even know! I blush, but deep down I’m so proud.

• Aplasta primero tu individualidad. Sacúdete los sueños de comodidad personal. Luego empieza a trabajar. Pulgada a pulgada tendrás que avanzar. Se necesita coraje, perseverancia y una determinación muy fuerte. Ni las dificultades ni las penurias te desanimarán. Ni los fracasos ni las traiciones te desanimarán. Ningún trabajo que te impongan apagará en ti la voluntad revolucionaria. A través de la prueba de sufrimientos y sacrificios saldréis victoriosos. Y estas victorias individuales serán los valiosos activos de la revolución.

• Encontrar el punto de encuentro entre hipótesis y hechos; el delicado equilibrio entre sueño y realidad; el lugar donde la fantasía y las cosas terrenales se metamorfosean en una obra de arte; la hora en que la fe en el futuro se convierte en conocimiento del pasado; entregar el propio poder por otros necesitados; sacudirse la vieja prueba y prepararse para la nueva; cuestionar, sabiendo que nunca se encontrará la respuesta completa; aceptar tranquilamente las incertidumbres, incluso nuestro conocimiento incompleto de Dios; en esto consiste el viaje del hombre, creo yo.

• For the first time I noticed - as I would notice repeatedly during my ordeal, between one throe of agony and the next - that my suffering was taking place in a grand setting. I saw my suffering for what it was, finite and insignificant, and I was still. My suffering did not fit anywhere, I realized. And I could accept this. It was all right.

What if one day we discover that God has wasted nothing in our life on Earth? What if we see that every agony was part of giving birth to an eternal joy?
