The pursuit of your power takes all that you have, if you will be great--it leaves neither time, nor energy, for anything else. We are born with the seeds of power in us and driven to be what we are by a hunger that knows no slaking. Knowledge--power--to know what songs the stars sing; to center all the forces of creation upon a rune drawn in the air--we can never give over the seeking of it. It is the stuff of loneliness.
