Angelus Spirata

The Long Journey of Man From Darkness to Light. . .

Some things you will never forget.  
I know what I know...and that is enough.
Splintered into this duality, I found my center and fused the opposites (triality).  
What was broken was made whole.
How I truly wish all could know their own divinity.  
But it is not yet time.  
Man is still very young.  
And that's all well and fine too.

The drama is just that...an eternal play of the idea of man upon this universal stage.  
We would do a disservice to jump to the end of this very long story.
There are hills and valleys, crests and troughs in every life.  
Pain, sadness, successes and triumphs—war and peace.
None are immune to the effects that all lives must live.  
However, few come to know themselves as cause—at least for now.

Perhaps, this is man's destiny—to become purposeful in a seemingly purposeless universe.
Learning to navigate the rough waters of the cosmic journey called life.
To find calm in the storms of humanity.  
To find peace enough to divide purposefully back into motion.

We are all of us learning to traverse the dark and sail peacefully in the light.
Some times are for fighting and loving.  
One day, perhaps the loving will take precedence, but it is not now.
For now, we must do both—lest our children have no chance of a loving future if we do not fight for them now.

Words are meaningless without experience.  
The hollowness of vessels who know not life are empty.
That makes them prime materia to eventually be filled with spirit.
The loneliness of life, age and the world may take my body, but it will never take my mind.
I am mind.  
There can be only one.  
And one day, I shall return to whence I came. . .

but not yet. . .
