If you want to know about me, imagine yourself living in a world where you dont know the language. Where the customs seems strange and the rituals are beyond you. Slowly through observation and mimicry, you pick up the details, and are able to speak the languages, dance the dances, and in time, can recite the history as if it was your own. Yet somehow, you always feel the difference. As thoroughly as you penetrate the world, there remains a constant translation between what you know and what you hear or say. So you live as best you can as a guest, and tell jokes you know will get a laugh. What has remained resolute throughout all this, is a a knowledge of self. That at the greatest moment of your highest achievement, at the ultimate attainment of mastery, you immediately become the student once again. And that the result of your life can be found deep in the archive of your desires, and the actions spawned by them. The truly beautiful moments when the translations are not necessary, because the people around you suddenly speak the same language, and say your thoughts as you have them. I call these people my friends. And I call this place home, for now. Te Nosce.
