KNOW I...


 KNOW I... 

"Everyone should consider his body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it.”  
~Nikola Tesla

Know I, beyond Fear there is FAITH, beyond Doubt there is DELIVERANCE, beyond Trepidation there is TRUST, beyond Dismay there is DIVINITY…

Man in freedom so born is he
Yet shackled he sets himself to be
Oppression dark upon heart yet be lain
The echoes of emotion still held profane
The mind to silence daunting echoes of time past
And free the self from binding chains cast
Memory called to free mind, heart and soul
Alchemy to ring its welcomed toll.
