“I am an improvised bridge, and when Someone passes over me, I crumble away behind Him.”
Nikos Kazantzakis book The Saviors of God
The Saviors of God (1923)
Context: I am not alone in my fear, nor alone in my hope, nor alone in my shouting. A tremendous host, an onrush of the Universe fears, hopes, and shouts with me.
I am an improvised bridge, and when Someone passes over me, I crumble away behind Him.
