This morning, I was called
to the patriarch.
1:36:26
He told me that I have only
3 years to live
1:36:30
and advised me to spend them
in the Olman monastery
1:36:33
on the northern slopes
of the Himalayas
1:36:36
in order to accomplish
what I have dreamed of all my life.
1:36:41
He said he would arrange everything
to make my stay there productive.
1:36:45
I agreed to set out at once.
1:36:47
Oh God, is it true?
1:36:54
There is no better way
to finish my life.
1:36:57
Perhaps I shall be able to make up
for all the years I lost senselessly.
