Man is more than the sum of the parts and perspectives we have seen of him to date.
Sage. Warlock. Shaman. Sorcerer. Diviner.

He remains the keeper of our flame.
The wielder of the axe.
The alchemist.
The saint.
The transformer.
The destroyer.
The healer.

By chaos he is driven.
By fear he overcomes.
By failure he evolves.
By love he transcends.
By silence he rises and is reborn.

There is something I am not telling you
There is something I have not told anyone
It's a secret but not a secret
Can you tell what it is?
Can you see what it is?
I've known it for a long time but I wasn't sure that people wanted to know it
Have you figured it out yet?

Ok, no more suspense, here is my little secret:

"I am beautiful"
That's all I wanted to say.
