The fact that one is able to confirm one's smallness and weakness when something bigger and stronger stands in front of it, and that it's ok to be small and weak, and that if you rely on this something big, that you can go on living your life as yourself, just as you are—the many ways of expressing these ideas were packed tightly into the space around me, and they made me feel warm inside.
