immortal.</FONT></U></CENTER></H2>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">Through centuries I walked
the unknown paths, where I have met not just men<BR/>
of ill worth, rather bereaved souls awaiting their redemption.<BR/>
Where have I done wrong, for thy weakness embodies everything
that represents doom around us.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">Take me away for a while
for there are places to go, things to see, and people<BR/>
to meet. There are no doors here, only passages which spell delight
to thirsty<BR/>
adventurer, but only hollow expectations for the old.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">I am old. No, not weak but
rather a weary soul. Yes, weariness represents a<BR/>
form of weakness, but in my profession the weak have no place.<BR/>
Tired of all this business of setting things right, for when I
turn my back I<BR/>
see not a speck of gratitude, but fathoms of despair because I
changed the way<BR/>
these people lived their lives.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">To do what I feel right,
and to carry out that act successfully, has not only<BR/>
been the guiding strength but the only thing that has got me going
for these<BR/>
unruly folk.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">Where I have been, you have
not seen.<BR/>
Where I am now, you are with me.<BR/>
Where I will go, you should follow.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">A scar falls right below
my chin, not entirely visible to another, but only<BR/>
visible on close scrutiny. I carry it as a memory of the past,
to which I<BR/>
won't go back.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">I have seen much which is
not what I want to speak about. I wish to caution<BR/>
you of a certain death, which we all shall come upon one day.<BR/>
Its like finding a gem, of no real worth but it is infact a jewel
in itself<BR/>
because it gives its owner complete redemption. Of what, you may
ask. But it<BR/>
is only of your doing that you wish to redeem yourself of. This
world, that<BR/>
you call home, you wish to leave. You came upon this gem, which
granted you<BR/>
your wish that should not have been given so soon.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">Gems have a special quality,
which sets them apart from other stones. Why<BR/>
they are cherished still leaves me with a feeling of lack of understanding<BR/>
of the human kind. Indeed they are beautiful to look upon, once
they have<BR/>
been cut and emblazoned to perfection. Again mans' vision of perfection<BR/>
makes him the master of his pleasure and pain.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">Look upon death as a gem
of alien perfection, just like how the alien will<BR/>
look at your diamonds and pearls. Granted you do not wish to enjoy
the<BR/>
delight which it provides, you have no say in such matters because
you are<BR/>
far behind this alien in everything you consider progress and
technology.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">No, this alien does not
traverse the lengths and breadths of the known and<BR/>
unknown universe. Rather it is a comely being, who would sit at
home and<BR/>
shave potatoes than hitch hike across the galaxies.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">"But my stone does
not bring upon death to its owner," you might say,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">"It figures,"
I will say.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">Your gems merely reflects
and refracts electromagnetic beams from your nearest<BR/>
star.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">Where there is no light,
there are no gems.<BR/>
Where there are no gems, death ceases to exist.<BR/>
Where there is no death, light prevails.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">If you live in the light,
you will never face death.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">"But what about the
gem?", you ask.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">"Drop it.", I
say.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">It fell like any other stone.
The clouds overhead, break apart bringing on<BR/>
the fury of the sun. Everything around seems to come alive again,
like it was<BR/>
before.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">"Before what?",
you query.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Black">I walk away, for questions
lie unanswered. I have others to see. Places to be.<BR/>
More gems to collect.<!--SELECTION--><!--/SELECTION--></FONT></P>
