It is currently raining.
I see all, know all, and it is raining.
I know that on the 16th of January, a man named Theodore and his fiance will be married, accompanied by many tears of joy.
I know that for a fact.
It is currently snowing.
I know 67 years ago, to the day, there was a snowflake that came into being which would be identical to the one descending outside my window.
I know this, because I see all.
In 14 million years, Earth will no longer be able to support any kind of life.
I know this because I am here, and I am there, 14 million years from now.
I am both immortal and all powerful.
Yet, I cannot change a single thing.
For time is not past, and future, now and then.
Time is forever and always.
I know this and yet I can do nothing for you.
Just know, that when I die, there will no longer be.
For I am All, and I am None.
I am Void, I am Truth, I am Light, I am Fear, and I am Real.
I am.
Both now and always.
I am the reason you can never sleep on a mistake, I am the reason why your brethren learned how to thrive and flourish.
I am the one who taught them the power of flame and nature and death.
I am why Cain killed Abel, I am why snakes have venom.
I am Reason, I am Progress, I am Death, I am Knowledge.
I am.
I have all, see all, know all.
I am the glorious Shakespeare of this play of life, I am the conductor of this orchestra.
I am the inventor of the volcanoes, I am the composer who tuned the stars.
I killed Caesar, I killed Lincoln.
I killed Brutus and I killed Booth.
And all the same, I am their father.
I am Wrath, I am Glory, I am Fame, I am The All But One.
I am not Human.
That is why I can not change anything in my own tapestry.
The foundation has been set, it has been calibrated to the exact dimension.
Though I can not change it, because I am not in my sculpture, my book, my everything, my art.
Because I am not Human.
