"I am like a sleeper who opens a quarter of an eye then goes to sleep again. Attention—as if every cell of my body were called to attention. But my wish is not big enough for that—the wish has to grow and it can only grow if I see myself more, if I see myself as I am. It is a slow, almost completely closed, spiral. Everything goes in spirals. Gradually I know that, second after second, I have to sustain that attention..."
