  • Ìif You Have Knowledge, Let Others Light Their Candles in It.Î
    ìIf you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.î - Margaret Fuller And then seemingly from the darkest pits of ignorance did it rise. Torn and bruised by the constant fight for survival, struggle for existence. It let go an enormous grunt then. Victory was sweet. Slowly, it walked over its foe, trampling over its sinful guts. The dark clouds now gradually owned up a new world order. A decisive victory had been announced and it proudly fluttered its victory flag. The lifeless forms of imperceptions lay all over the bloodied land. The far off bugle was no longer a distant triumph. The sun shone brightly over the rebirth of an era. Here, the soul was the perfect companion to the ever inquisitive mind. Here, questions were revered and answers worshipped. The land of learning was now a reality and not a dystopian myth – clasped in the realm of unimaginable half-truths. It now lorded over all. With pride. I have no form. I am the water that takes the shape of the container. I am the wind that blows through the sands of time. I am the earth that nourishes. I am the fire that enlightens. I am space; boundless, enigmatic. I am you. I am knowledge.
