"One step closer every day at a time"
(Reaching the truth the existential way)
„All you have is being taken from you!", she went on, her eyes pressing me against the wall, as they sometimes did nearly 40 years ago, "Step by step, one thing after another."
Back then I knew the vibrant voice to talk about lesser things, life attributes; now she spoke to the point: of the very core of life, i.e. of dying. But with what thrill! "It simply must go on, somehow", I thought. But does she herself register what's she's sending?
Then it struck me: even if for some reason she's unable to get the point her energy is making - and I was concerned that she may not have got the point yet - she's going to reach the regeneration gateway in another way: All you have is being taken from you.
“Oh, God!”, now I was excited, “How you care! Not only do you drop hints all around (and most importantly - in us) that lead our intellect to you, but also gradually let us be stripped of all we have and of most what we are, every loss moving us closer to the truth, so that finaly we end up motionless and helpless right before it with nothing except our bare existence and have no choice but to acknowledge your existence...
... then we notice our faintly beating hearts on the palm of your hand and realise they've always been there and it was this very hand, the hand of the Overlord of Existence that has been squeezing them gently 60 to 100 times per minute, all life long.
(And if we willingly say three magical words - it'll go on doing so even longer. I believe.)"
