But, as your saints teach and we have always known, attachment enslaves you. Only those free from it see the world as it really is and have power over themselves and all things.

Like young fern shootsmy child's fingers curled.I did not expect,in the fifth month, frost.
..while I was happy enough to pray to any god, knowing that they were simply different faces created by men, of one indivisible truth.
I miss the days when I was alone with my characters and no one else knew them except me.
