“Power to the Person.”

 

D,

The world can make you seem powerless. You are not.  It can reduce you to a number or a measure of value controlled by a market that never ends. You are much more than that. The power is always in the person. You might not be able to control the world, that fading edifice, but you have control over your own soul.

 

This might seem like scant consolation, but it is much more than that. It is the true state of things. The things that are on top of the pile now are as transient as the things that were a thousand years ago. The frame of our reference for all existence tells us we are much more than carbon and though the final sun might die, and the earth might fade before all that, the things inside you are as eternal as your own metaphorical heart. That being is more powerful than anything you can presently see.
