Der Glaube an Gott ist ein Sichöffnen, ein Loslassen, ein tiefes Vertrauen, eine bedingungslose Liebe – aber manchmal war es so schwer zu lieben. Manchmal sank mein Herz vor Wut, Verzagtheit und Erschöpfung so tief, dass ich befürchtete, es würde bis ganz hinab auf den Grund des Pazifiks sinken und ich würde es nie wieder heraufziehen können. In solchen Augenblicken versuchte ich mir Mut zu machen. Ich fasste mir an den Turban, den ich mir aus den Überresten meines Hemds gewunden hatte und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES HUT!“ Ich fuhr mir über meine Hosen und rief: „DAS SIND GOTTES KLEIDER!“ Ich wies auf Richard Parker und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES KATZE!“ Ich wies auf das Rettungsboot und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES ARCHE!“ Ich breitete meine Arme weit und rief: „DAS SIND DIE GÖTTLICHEN GEFILDE!“ Ich hob den Finger zum Himmel und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES OHR!“ Auf diese Weise rief ich mir ins Gedächtnis, was die Schöpfung war und wo ich meinen Platz darin hatte. ↗

The evening before I departed I stood on the rim of a lagoon on Isla Rabida. Flamingos rode on its dark surface like pink swans, apparently asleep. Small, curved feathers, shed from their breasts, drifted away from them over the water on a light breeze. I did not move for an hour. It was a moment of such peace, every troubled thread in a human spirit might have uncoiled and sorted itself into a graceful order. Other flamingos stood in the shallows with diffident elegance in the falling light, not feeding but only staring off toward the ocean. They seemed a kind of animal I had never quite seen before. ↗

I could not give up either of these worlds, neither the book I am holding nor the gleaming forest, though I have told you almost nothing of what is said here on these grim pages, from the sentences of which I’ve conjured images of a bleak site years ago. Here in this room, I suppose, is to be found the interior world of the book; but it opens upon a world beyond the windows, where no event has been collapsed into syntax, where the vocabulary, it seems, is infinite. The indispensable connection for me lies with the open space (of the open window ajar year round, never closed) that lets the breath of every winter storm, the ripping wind and its pelting rain, enter the room. ↗
