I
am Kalumnu the young. I am a true seer spirit self of the Chowala Keh.
In Heyarts eyes is oldness, but with them he sees with great truth even
the cry of a baby, the sound of a drum lost to normal sight. Marlymak of
the ears can hear the strange sounds of black, yellow, red, blue, brown,
and all colours; even the voices of the stone to the Great Mother. Quahints
hands which taste the flavours of the earth, air, water, and even fire;
and form death in their bite. Pren'Chak the foot smells life and walks
through the passages of time alone and eats of all elements. Olimak whose
nose grasps pain, joy, hate, love, death, and life. Chanui the mouth who
speaks of his foolishness, inability, and unworthiness does so as he is
wise, and talented, and great in all things of thought and speech. Each
in all are my body, and I am that to they. I know naught. We are seven
of the Chowala Keh, call us by name, we are humble before you.
I
am myself, and you are you. Together we are brothers. Brothers of which
make up the Brotherhood of Mankind.
I
like to think myself a warrior, or a man whom repels violence. Do not mistake
my words, do not test my ability. I cast warlike actions from my conscious
thought, I do not throw them from my being. I walk upon two paths in life.
A
man is like a mountain. There is an ascent, and there is a descent. It
is a burden of the outer self on the speed of the descending. Yet it is
the quality of the inner self in the ascension.
I
like to think myself a warrior, quiet, calm, each movement thought of before
it is made. Man has many emotions, they cover an area from the bitterness
of hate, to the sweetness of love. When a man hates he knows it; when he
loves he must look around himself.
What
do you think yourself to be? A contrary, a hunter, a priest, an artist?
Or do you perceive yourself to be what you truly are. We know each person
dreams to be that which they are not. Almost every woman beautiful; every
man courageous. But...
Whatever
you like to think yourself to be, remember one thing; it cannot be changed,
it cannot be overcome in any way.
You
are yourself! A child of the earth! You must grow knowing you are one day
to die. You must learn pessimism can be conquered; optimism will help you
grow.
Here
are we, seven, in a galaxy of nines. That of the Chowala Keh, call us by
name, we are humble before you.
