Do I know the strength of me? I doubt i do. I sit in the wake of a tide; amongst the ebbs and flows. As i sit upon the grainy sand i wonder what strength do I have in this life. What strength do I have to exist and to change? Am i the thread in the needle, Weaving ever forward in the faith that the weaver knows its course? Am I the pine that towers tall in the forest, That is lost in my brothers never blooming? Or am I the paper boat, Sent on its mission, etched with purpose and on a course? I’d like to think i am the third or at least a prelude to it. For the paper boat is filled with its own hopes and dreams. Without these things do i have the right to exist? I’d like to live among the paper boats.

Aphorism 0. Among the Paper Boats
Do I know the strength of me? I doubt i do. I sit in the wake of a tide; amongst the ebbs and flows. As i sit upon the grainy sand i wonder what strength do I have in this life. What strength do I have to exist and to change? Am i the thread in the needle, Weaving ever forward in the faith that the weaver knows its course? Am I the pine that towers tall in the forest, That is lost in my brothers never blooming? Or am I the paper boat, Sent on its mission, etched with purpose and on a course? I’d like to think i am the third or at least a prelude to it. For the paper boat is filled with its own hopes and dreams. Without these things do i have the right to exist? I’d like to live among the paper boats.
