End of an Age, Crossing the Threshold
So passes an age, four years that budded and bloomed within a blink of an eye, and I stand again on the fork of many forks that point to new hereafters. White blossoms cover the fields as if God cried pure snow for my growth. Behind me, an embodiment of emotions manifested into a seventeen year old boy saying "goodbye" and in front me a twenty-two year old man welcoming me with a warm embrace. For a moment we three stand in silent stillness, in awe of the great triad that now exists. The past, the present, the future. We are the triquetra. As if our mouths were moved by the breath of angels, we spoke in muted joy four words: I am with you. The past has stopped running and the future has come to greet me. Forming a triangle, we hold each other's hands and into the air we send our message of unity, of oneness, of being: I am me. I blink once. I blink twice. I now see the world through six eyes. We have merged. I am one.
