well it sounds odd but I think it is strange
how much I matured as a human being during
these months. I thought I was mature when I
got there; I was born in 1929 so I have some
years behind me and this opened so many
doors. It was like cleaning up within me with
all doors open and air blowing through. That
experience was very, very strong … I was
more and more open towards life and towards
people. Everything became a lot more obvious
and clear … I saw everything more clearly
and I don ’ t know … . The eyes and the mind
became so much more open and I thought
I had an open mind but it opened even more.
