It is an arid fight


It is an arid fight for inner peace, with neither palpable beauty or defined poetry. In this fight, one sometimes advances in the night of anonymity, in the mud of indifference or misunderstanding under the storms and bombardment unleashed by the conjugated forces of repressed pain and denial, the flesh and the seed of pure evil which lay deep beneath the surface in each of us. But it is through this course of action, the commencement of this fight, that the wicked seed is slaughtered, the angels of the heavens are attracted, and serenity is granted to those who seek it most ardently.
