Do you remember this ocean?

You said that this place is where everything, from all rivers and streams, will eventually settle.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

As such… At the lowest layers, everything sinks.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

What do you think of this heaven, painted laboriously white with plaster?

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

I knew you would come here soon.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

Please think of it as my welcoming gift to you.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

I figured that what you longed to see may have been something else than what I have become now.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

Time is like a scythe; it relentlessly attempts to trim, divide, and cleave in twain the clasped-together hands of those you love.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

Everyone I had loved is now gone, leaving me, a tired old man behind.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

Please do not blame yourself.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

Back then were the brightest moments of my life.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

The only thing I regret to this day is that I was too scared. I ran away without keeping my abiding promise to you till the very end.

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

However, you eventually found me, and helped me to fulfill my promise here. How can I ever be more thankful than I am right now?

Hokma (Id: 'hokma')

You’re just too kind to me, kind to the very end.
