Flicker of light

”Often I have found that the one thing that can save is the thing which appears most to threaten...one has to go down into what one most fears and in that process...comes a saving flicker of light and energy that, even if it does not produce the courage of a hero, at any rate enables a trembling mortal to take one step further.”

Van der Post, Laurens.
