When I was young I knew everything. Now I've seen enough to be sure I don't know anything. Going forward, I must do for others what I can with what I've got, with an openness Of Heart and mind to gain wisdom, from which to finally start learnIng something.
All my life I have done things my own way to find everything I need but peace. Facing every challenge and hardship I am purposefulLy driven to victory over all enemies, other than myself. My inner demons being my deadliest foe,I hold fast against overwhelming fear, pain, injury, humiliation, but balk at internal conflict. While battling to silence the war in my head I let go of my humanity and sacrificed my soul, becoming an empty shell of despair and malice.
However, the bond of mind, body,and soul is cemented by spiritual bond. Through a trial of fire I have had an awakening. This realization of the universe's intertwining weave through the fabric of existence has turned my face from the darkness of the abyss and pulled me back from the precipice, showing me the light shining in the ether. The light of love. And peace.
Now I long to replace the pain, and sorrow, and hate, and regret. In their stead I want to spread ecstasy, peace, love, and happiness.
.... and no-I'm not a hippy, so spare me the pacifist, idealist, utopian bulls**t.
