"Defined by our flesh, bone, and ancestral knowledge, we humans navigate both practical and mystical worlds. We gain wisdom by applying what we learn to what we know and shedding beliefs that no longer serve us, thereby evolving our sense of self. As a result, the appearance of our essence changes with each phase of life. This journey is what makes us as unique as the stars in the heavens. Yet, while a star cannot choose to create a nebula or black hole upon its passing, we can choose to create something now that will foster a beautiful future."
