Malinalli, like Quetzalcóatl, upon confronting his dark side gained awareness of his light. Her will to be one with the cosmos caused the limits of her body to disappear. His feet, in contact with the water flooded by moonlight, were the first to experience the change. They stopped containing her. His spirit merged with that of the water and poured into the air. Her skin expanded to its maximum, allowing her to change shape and integrate with everything around her. It was spikenard, it was orange tree, it was stone, it was copal aroma, it was corn, it was fish, it was bird, it was sun, it was moon. He abandoned this world.

In the narrative, Malinalli, akin to the god Quetzalcóatl, reaches a profound understanding of her essence by confronting her darker aspects. This journey of self-awareness enables her to transcend the physical boundaries of her body, symbolizing a merging with the universe. She begins to feel a significant transformation as her feet touch the moonlit water, marking the beginning of her spiritual evolution.

As she connects with the surrounding elements, her skin adapts, illustrating her integration with nature and the cosmos. Malinalli becomes one with various forms of existence, from plants to celestial bodies, embracing her identity and the intertwining of her spirit with the world around her. Ultimately, she transcends earthly limitations, leaving behind her physical form to become part of everything that exists.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.
