00:04my memory is to the world as a drawing is to the photograph we remember what we must what we
00:09choose
00:10to because it is more beautiful and real than the truth we live in stories and in stories we are
00:17subject to phenomena beyond the mechanisms of space and time fear and love death and wrath and
00:23wisdom these are as much a part of our universe as light and gravity everything matters the
00:29cosmos is not cold or indifferent because we are not indifferent and we are a part of the cosmos
00:34of that grand order which is dropped from the hand of he who created it every decision creates
00:40its ripples and every moment burns its mark on time every action leads us ever nearer to that
00:45last day that final last battle and the answer to that last question darkness or light
00:56the poets say that one's fears grow less with trial that we become men without fear if tried
01:02enough i have not found it to be so rather on each occasion we are tested we become stronger than
01:08our
01:09fears but the ugliness of the world does not fade and fear and grief are not made less by time
01:16we are
01:17only made stronger we can only float together on their tides as others do hand in hand
01:24the rightly tuned mind does not deny its emotions but floats with them it accepts what it feels and
01:30so incorporates that feeling to itself thus the mind is not subject but rules itself atrocity is
01:37writ by quiet men in council chambers over crystal glasses of cool water strange little men with ashes in
01:43hearts sans passion sans hopes sans everything everything but fear because we are not good if
01:52we were good men we'd not need all this reflection we have need of heroes however broken however terrible
01:58however insufficient they may be for what i have done there is no respite even in death you would pile
02:04scorn upon my grave but you will not let me be forgotten because you want to know what it was
02:09like to
02:10stand aboard that impossible ship and rip the heart out of a star i wouldn't blame you if you went
02:16this
02:16isn't what you signed up for then again it isn't what i signed up for but i will see it
02:23through
