Kim, some day, 50 million people are going to just reach out and turn off their radios, snap, just like that - and that’s the end of the gravy.

And at one point, I noticed that Grotowski was at the center of one group huddled around a bunch of candles that they’d gathered together. And like a little child fascinated by fire, I saw that he had his hand right in the flame and was holding it there! And as I approached his group, I wondered if I could do it. I put my left hand in the flame, and I found I could it there for as long as I like and there was no burn and no pain. But when I tried to put my right hand in the flame, I couldn’t hold it there for a second. So, Grotowski said, ‘If it burns, try to change some little thing in yourself.’ And I tried to do that - didn’t work.

A long time I fell. Long I fell, and he fell with me. His fire was about me. I was burned. Ever he clutched me, and ever I hewed him, far under the living earth – until at last, he fled back up the secret ways of Moria. There we fought, above the mists of the world, and the mountain was wreathed with lightning. I threw down my enemy, and his fall broke the mountainside. Then darkness took me… and I wandered far, on roads that I will not tell. Naked, I was sent back for a brief time until my task was done. And it is time I was about it.
