Then, when it is worst and nothing helps, they burst, as if in ecstasy, the first buds of the tree, when fear itself is compelled to let go, they fall in a glistening veil, all the drops from the twigs, blinking away their fears of the new, shutting out their doubts about the journey, feeling for an instant how this is their greatest safety, to trust in that daring that shapes the world. Karin Boye
