I say a word and it is powerful. I say a word and everything happens exactly as I say it. I gathered strength and energy to put it into one word. I did not talk to anyone for a long time to gather all the power into one word.
In the evening I came to the river bank and realized that the time had come. I said the word and they started coming. Memories from the past, images of people, shadows, spirits, souls, beings. They came to me along the path, in a line. Each of them gave me a piece of me that I had left in the past. In every place where I was so afraid of losing someone that I lost myself instead.
They gave me pieces of me that looked like fog, like balls of energy, like transparent moss. I took this energy and sent it to be purified in the light of the Creator, and then returned it to myself and merged with it. And I became complete and whole. Strong. I became alive. I became the person the Creator intended me to be.
