Know thyself.” John once told me it’s inscribed over the entrance to the temple of Apollo. The entire quote is “Know thyself and thou shall know all the mysteries of the gods and the universe.” That’s quite a mouthful. My version is this: “Know thyself because what else is there to know?” People hide secrets. Time is a lie. The material world can disappear in an instance. It has, and it will again. Our identities change. Our names, the way we look, how we act and speak. We’re shapeshifters. There is no control, no constant, no shelter, but the love of family and the body God gave us. And we can only hope that will always be enough.
