A path of light, a path of darkness

It is the path of the few.

You cannot find it, it is only it who finds you, whether you like it or not; and when you find it, it is your duty to follow it, for so few are chosen that those who are must do it; and when you decide to follow it, you must listen very carefully, because the signs, which have always been there, are nearly invisible to the human consciousness: you will have to reject yourself, reject some of the things you believe in so firmly, you may even have to reject the path itself, in order to find the signs which will guide you through it.

There's no telling what's at the end, only that one woman every three generations is allowed to come back for a handful of days, though she cannot speak, nor draw, nor write; but her eyes, her eyes are said to hold all the truths of humanity and beyond.

It is said that the eyes of some returned have driven thousands into a hopeless search for enlightenment. The bodies of those who tried to follow them into the abyss were found in circles, with one flower in each hand and another one on the forehead.

So if the path of light, the path of darkness, the path of the few, is ever presented to you, follow it and you will know what to do, for you will have been chosen.
