“Can you hear the wind, father?
Remember what mother used to say about the wind?
The wind cannot defeat a tree with strong roots.
You are still breathing..
As long as you can still grab a breath, you fight.
You breathe. Keep breathing.
When there is a storm..
And you stand in front of a tree..
If you look at its branches, you swear it will fall.
But if you watch the trunk, you will see its stability.”

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
