There is so much more to each of us beyond
the 'face' we wear.
Revealed her are some of the elements beyond
the face of personality and ego:

mystery, anger, pain, presence, power, strength,
fear, dignity?

What do you see???
What do we generally hide behind our daily masks???

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.
