wait, there is a bond of love! There is a bond of emotion! So you see all of us are bound. Though the bonds are of joy, does it make them any less strong, or more?

Bear with me, I know I ramble on nothing but emptiness of thought.

I wish to have a fraction of wisdom before I die away from this life. What is wisdom? Is wisdom knowledge or more? Is it perhaps that knowledge is that which what one holds true is in fact true?

I am confused, is this good? Confusion is the first sign of a change; the more confused you are the closer you are. When you are totally confused you are at the threshold of change and of knowledge. Then it is a time of meditation. Maybe because it is so easy to admit you are lost and alone. When you are lost and alone rejoice! In time, you shall tell me why!

If one lives by the fates he shall live by all things. We of ourselves live by the fates and their sisters destiny. That of all, of the black mysteries of the dimensions, of the fearsome devastations of the Sun Father, by the blinding light of the sun, its warm rays, and the comforts of a familiar mind in solitude; by the wonders of speech and its sciences and mechanics, of the mastery of dark knowledge, and last but alongside all of the others, the tastes, smells, touches, sounds, and sights of love and freedom of peace. We struggle with yet are fortified by these fates, for we ourselves are they and our sisters destiny.

Where-in lies the god of man there shall be peace and harmony of all things. A wonder arises in the oneness of nature for I am not one with the nature of things, but one part of the nature of things. As I find no danger in running with the wolf for this is a creature not to be feared but respected. As I find no danger in running with the deer for this is a creature not to be feared but respected. It is such with the puma and the rabbit, the bear and the fish, the eagle and the mouse, and all creatures of the wind, water, and land. In the nature of things all are to be respected for if we fear the powerful and think not of the meek, the meek will devour us. If we fear the meek and pass without thought the powerful, the powerful shall devour us. Should we fear neither the meek nor the powerful and respect both equally we shall be one with both and both shall be one.

The god of nature floats upon the wind, merges with the currents, mingles with the soil and is part of all things. To destroy these things of nature of want but not need is to defy the god of nature. God is not one but several entities, although defiance of one is defiance of all. To defy all gods is foolishness. God is a spirit in all men that is separate from the spirit of man.

The god within you cares not for the folly of the mind and body. This god seeks only that the course of life is carried. Praise your god by any name. Your god which is within but separate from you. This is god which is the inspiration, divinity, and holiness you feel all about you.

Can you perceive the beauty in the life, in the lines in the promise of renewed life that is in the nature of a leaf? Yes! Can you perceive beauty in the destruction wrought by man upon all life even unto himself? This is hard! Be not frustrated in that which you are; for you are that. Wisdom? Knowledge of what you hold true is in fact true.

Here we are, seven, in a galaxy of nines. That of the Chowala Keh, call us by name, we are humble before you.
