In solitude, the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself... I am of flesh and blood and therefore of pain and suffering. I am complete and still yet incomplete. I am old as time and as young as birth. I am of my father, my mother's gift to him. I am my sister's brother and my brother's friend. I am God's child and I worship him. I am a light to guide along the way. I am wisdom learned and not taught. I am understanding without knowing. I am strength while weakness endures. I am love and loved. I am brave and know of fear. I am wise with reason. I am plain but not simple. I am vision and insight.
