To doubt is good. To question is good.
But when the answer comes, you must question again.
Test the question and test the answer, even though the person answering is you.

The gift of sight is given to many.
The gift of vision is given to few.

The curse and the blessing..

The curse of the prophet is
to see what is,
to see what was,
to see what will be,
to see what can be,
to see what could be.
The blessings of the prophet are also these.

Materiality

Materiality is neither good nor ill. It is both.
When driven only by knowledge it is for ill.
When driven by wisdom it is good.
As the flesh needs to be driven by the spirit,
knowledge must be directed by wisdom.

Only the fool searches for religion.
The wise man discovers faith.

When born, we know nothing.
When grown, we know everything.
When old, we know little.
It is good that this is so, that the old may temper the young.

Feathers

Like feathers in your hand are your children.
Mind them well, but do not grasp them too hard or they will be damaged beyond hope.
And the winds will blow. protect them as you can.
