So, I'm supposed to be excited because I got knighted last weekend. I probably would be if simply receiving a doctorate was my aim. Yet my goals are so big that I've had to build a bridge just to get them across. Meanwhile I am often haunted by the sense that I am lost in time and tumbling in space all because of my intent to be raised beyond average into the advantages that greatness brings. But it isn't advantage I seek but the chance to speak to the nation about our uncommon situation, which we mask because we shun the task reform requires, at least until Destiny hires us in its service. Only then are we able to see beyond the surface and the superficial, perceiving what is fundamental (and flawed), and which also gnaws at our hearts. Most people, however, refuse to acknowledge the pain, even in the dark when they are alone with themselves.
