A story is not something of this world. A real story requires a kind of magical baptism to link the world on this side with the world on the other side. Haruki Murakami

No," he said in his deep, rumbling voice. "It means that you must do what you really and truly want. And nothing is more difficult."What I really and truly want? What do you mean by that?"It's your own deepest secret and you yourself don't know it."How can I find out?"By going the way of your wishes, from one to another, from first to last.
