In un altro momento, questa immensità avrebbe suscitato in me una grande angoscia, una paura terribile di non poter ottenere niente, di essere troppo piccolo per quell’impresa. Ma quel giorno io ero una semente ed ero nato di nuovo. Avevo scoperto che, nonostante il conforto della terra e del sonno che stavo dormendo, la vita “lassù in cima” era molto più bella. E avrei potuto nascere sempre, ogni volta che avessi voluto, finché le mie braccia fossero diventate abbastanza grandi da stringere tutta la terra da cui provenivo.
