The Igumen

We revere humanity. Serenity is human; enlightenment is human; and fury, as well, is equally human.

There are statues on the shore

There are statues on the shore and they have been there longer than we can remember. But every year there is a morning when you realize a statue is slightly different than yesterday: different reliefs on the sculpted armour, a subtle difference in pose, perhaps even a slight change in size. There has been a change of the guard.
