Last night I returned to the one place and the people that saved me from forever having a misanthropic attitude. One of the best kept secrets that I kept from them is the fact I was once a tyrannical egoist. Now I the only thing I want to do is find a way to conquer my world around me with kindness. These four gregarious comrades with their loving attitude towards children awoken a persona that once was dormant for what seemed like a milliena, the angelic light within me.
A light within me long ago was diminished over time to nothing more than a mere spark. This was a special light, the same within the generational line of priests. I knew somehow I would be a voice acting in the name for God but it would never involve from the cloth or a collar. It would be done without using his name or a Bible yet the teachings acted to guide the lost souls of youth.
If I could I would trade in a lifetime of working alongside these people for the nine years I worked to be a name that earned a legendary though reputation with an ego larger than it should be. Four mere mortal souls humbled me back to the light with humanity restored in place and forever greatful of this act. Now a photo is all I have as a reminder of new purpose to be in the future.
My only fear is that Fate will never allow me to reunite with them as long I am employed where I am. Leadership was thrusted upon me for a reason and to surrender this role is to give up all that I've learned as one. Within myself I know I was born to lead others let it be either youth or a fellow co-worker. Though I shed not a tear.
Fate has always sent to me to where I need to be, never where I want to go. These same hands sent be have my soul redemed and being reminded definition of love for one another. Even though I may never once again step foot into the building for the longest time I know that love that I share within an infinite space my heart and soul.
The only thing that I have left for them are three mix CD's with a song that best describes their own persona after experincing time with them. Although the song title may sound like them, truth be told, either after listing to the song or had a song stuck in my head while thinking of them. One of my best kept secrets is that sometimes when I heard certain songs I pictured their face.
For the first time I met a leader that was like a supernatural, one was like brother to me, someone whom a jack-of-all trades strong with spirit and a young man that knew his place in life. These fantasic foursome of greatness are everyday heroes. Albiet they don't leap tall buildings in a single bound, spin webs any size or for that matter have any slayers of creatures that go bump in the night to speak,untied these people find ways to do great things and proving always time and time again.
There I stood among them with great admiration and remembering humility being infused onto the person that I am today. Time which I spent with them was a great honor. Nonetheless I know that by laws of chaos, Fate always finds a way for paths to cross as a kindred spirit. As time goes by, friends from another lifetime are still always in a way defined still as friends. It will always be the one thing which is always certain in the life of one.
