whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things,
and what we do to make them come about.

We do not choose our historical epoch,
the country of our birth,
or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing.
We do not, most of us, choose to die;
nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death.
But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.
- Joseph Epstein

and within knowledge everything is included;
your name, your identity, everything,
because this has been given to you by others -

This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality,
and there will be a resurrection of your innocence.
You will become a child again, reborn.

and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,

or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor
in a more liberal sense,
and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.

If you listen, you will hear the music.

Strain to hear the song of angels.
Listen to the melody within your soul.

been a player upon the stage of my life.
