"Listen to me." whispers on the wind "My words will guide you and be your freedom."

Like a ghost through the trees, fading in and out of site, gliding silently along the forest floor, "Fallow me" again more whispers on wind. Like an echo across time. "Let me be your teacher, your guardian. Let me take you home." The form fades into the mist.

I want to fallow but I feel chained, stuck in place. There is a weight over my head, darkness surrounding and closing in. I look and there are no chains binding me, only those in my mind. The key to my freedom lies within. Deep, deep down where few dare venture.  Down into the foundations of your being, the roots of your soul. That is where your real freedom is found, that is where we find the key to unlocking our minds and setting ourselves free.

I should have listened sooner. "It is never too late"
You were right all along, I'm sorry. "Don't apologize for your ignorance, we all grow at our own pace"
I should have known better..."Now you do, better than before, and the more times you do it, the better you will know, don't let making mistakes ruin your life, that is a huge part of it."
I'm better than this..."You are yourself, you can't be better or worse, we all make choices that aren't always the best, but how else do we learn what the right ones really are without making a few bad ones"

"You are young little one, a child yet, as much as you hate to admit it. You will stumble, trip, fall, scrape your knees countless times, and occasionally get tired of getting back up knowing it will only happen again sooner or later. You are strong, but never fool yourself into thinking that you must always be so. There is a time and a place for everything dear one, and weakness is just a big of part of us as our strength, we are there for others in their times of weakness because others are there for us in ours. You need to understand and realize that not much in life really matters past what we learn, how we learn it, and who we meet along the path that we make on our journey through life, no one will remember you for the mistakes that you made, but for the person that you became and what you did with what you learned."
