“Joshua,” Wind’s thoughts came
to him like a warm ray of sun on a cold and dreary day. “Perfection was never
necessary. Willingness was. And of that you have plenty. Your heart is open and
that is all. Mistakes cannot stop you from finding your destiny. And in
searching for your own you are finding it for others. You began this journey
for yourself. But you will end it for everyone.”
Joshua was stunned. He never
thought this, never held such lofty ideas about himself. And even though Wind’s
thoughts were like balm on his soul, he could only accept them partially, and
with many reservations. He could not believe they would ever become his only
truth. There was just no way. He was who he was and accepting himself as more
than that was something he could only see in others and not himself. He could
see greatness in Krieg. He could see greatness in Grey and certainly in Wind.
But whatever it was that grew within himself, it was safer not to go anywhere
near it.
