The scent of jasmine

Mum has been reading the same stuff for years. Ibn Arabi and his "Parfum du Jasmin des Fidèles d'Amour". Harry says that this is one of the elements that allows him to follow the path that will lead him to the East. I also try to follow this path. I know that each journey is unique, marked by the intimate seal of the individual who defines its subtle path. I know all that, but I still miss Alasdair, just like I miss my father… My body hurts, inhabited by nothing but absences. Mum does what she can to protect me…she really knows how to feel things. But she knows, as do I, that its through all this that I will find the path that will lead me to the light.
