Do you feel that you were born with a predetermined role in society? If so, how do you feel about i
You ask a man who found an entire city, empty and waiting for him, a guide on the beach and a god in the surf if he feels his role was predestined?
And yet, when I had walked through the gates of the mountains, and lent my mouth to the voice of a god, I went unheard. How can a man know what he was made for?
That is our gift, I believe. The uncertainty that plagues some men uplifts me with the feeling that my heart can try anything.
I do not know if any soul has ever walked the world in freedom since the time the music wrote the shaping of all that it became. And yet, though I was not a singer, the essence of my soul was part of that song. I choose to believe my hand pointed to the notes that would one day be me.
And in my heart, I know that I would not change a note of that which made me who I am. I would only wish to change the fate that came upon those I love - and that we are all born powerless to prevent. I gave all that I had to give at the moment it was required of me, and that is my measure of whether a man has risen or failed.
The song of life is written in water. We may not change its nature, but we can divert the flow.
And, we can learn to swim.
