Copies of a tome would be seen newly placed within the Libraries of the Dominion, Mother Grove, and that of the circle of Maelstrom. The covering marked with a symbol of a the sage herb with blooming white flowers along its stem. Signaling that of the Way of the Sage.


“We are what we are and change with the ever flowing time. Let not the burdens of our lives shackle us for accepting our true selves in the end is what will set us free.” ~Teachings of the Owl Druid, 5th of Sun’s Smile, 1672.


 

The Truth of Things

What are we but mere mortals that seek to know and understand? A hidden truth that that's within of what we wish to know all things and find meaning in our lives or justifications of our actions to make a determination of right and wrong. We feel pain and suffering, anger and hatred, disdain and sorrow. Over lost, over deeds unjust, but most importantly, over what could of been. It is an undeniable truth in the end. Wanting control of our fate and design. To take control and be what we want to be, do what we want to do, and keep what we already have. Being denied of this, of the unknown and sudden severing of what was, brings forth anger, hatred, sorrow, disdain, and loathing. Perhaps this is part of our curse. A cruel joke of the Betrayer when he marked each races with the curses. Or perhaps this is what it has always been. A part of ourselves to invoke change for us and this realm so that stagnation doesn’t seep into the fragments of our reality and remain as is. Whatever the reason, the fact remains that it is still there. We want control and meaning in our lives. To fall into balance once again from the cause and effect that happened so we may in turn flow with the change that is life.

 


Seeing One's True Self
We cannot escape our experiences. The tragedies in our life are hard lessons that can twist and consume us all. We lost control of our fate then display wants and needs to change it. Seeking in turn to take it back and rewrite the course so what ‘could have’ becomes reality. It is natural to want this, the devouring need to push away or forcefully take back what we once had. To keep love, happiness, and to cherish it for all time. We cannot deny that things happen however. We cannot be naive and just brush it off as if it could never happen to us. It is there. It is raw. It is pulsing with change. A reality that is striking against our own comfort and taking what is ours for its own purpose. That is why the first step with anything is to understand this most basic concept. For we are not perfect beings to never have things gradually change overtime. To just cast off what occurred as if it was nothing. No, never look at feeling all that you feel as something wrong or to run away from. Remember that it is natural to feel the way you do and find time to express these emotions over what happened.

 


Acceptance of Change
The core of these emotions and situations that arise to keep ourselves holding onto it to where you never let go is stemmed from the base foundation of our former selves. How naive and unknowing we were and the disdain we have that we could've done it better.

 

‘What could’ve been.’
‘What should’ve been.’

 

The ‘what ifs’ are what plague our minds and burden our hearts. We look back on the tragedy that forced change on our lives and look at our former selves with raw emotion. We see exactly what we did wrong and having that wanted desire to force the same change that fate forced on us. With this realization, the second step of finding inner balance again is understand the simple fact that you cannot change history. You think upon what all happened and look at the many possibilities of what you could’ve and should’ve done better. Yet in the end, you have to come to terms with the fact that you didn’t and realize what’s done is done. This is something that no one else can make you do. It’s not something to just turn off and on upon a wim or just toss aside to deal with later. When we linger on these thoughts and bottle them up, it remains and builds. Each time more tragedies, more loses, more situations that anger and cause us to hate keeps stacking on our mind, heart, and soul until eventually it unwinds and we are thrown into an endless pit of resentment and despair. We, instead, have to come to terms that we cannot change what happened. We have to understand that not everything that happens is always our fault. In the end of this, in order to change and fix the imbalance within ourselves, we have to accept that things happen. And that change is apart of life.


 

Unshackling and Freedom

When we finally find the realization and acceptance that things happen, common questions arise to try and resolve this to find our inner balance again.

 

‘What do I do about it?’
‘How can I change what I am now?’

“How do I simply let go?’

 

The answers to these are simply to state, yet are hard to do. It’s easy for someone to state what to do yet most don’t understand how hard it is to actually do it. To some, it may even seem like an impossibility. To feel as if you are too far gone to even change and find inner balance at all. In order to do this final step in the end however, you yourself must want to change. No one can just force you to become better again. No one can make you accept that things happen and to just let go of all the raw emotions that you felt. This is something that you have to do on your own. Others that you seek for guidance simply do just that, guide. We can help you realize where everything stems from, what is the cause of your imbalance, and/or help you come to terms with things. Yet in the end, you are the one that needs to want this. For only you can gain the control that is within yourself again. Instead of looking at your former self and hate or run away from it, look at yourself with understanding. Yes you were either naive or did something that perhaps could’ve been easily avoidable, but at the same time, aspects of what you were are something to keep and remain. We cannot simply completely toss our former selves away. That is riding the very foundation of what we are and loathing on the lingering fact that was what we were. Instead, look at your former self, understand what had happened, take aspects of it, and build from that experience. Cherish and value the lessons you have gained from this life. Learn from the knowledge that has been given. Realize that you are who you are no matter what has been done or lost. When you do this. When you let things flow, accept what has happened, and come to terms with your former and present self to coexist in harmony. You will finally shed the burdens that cause the imbalance within your life and be set free.
