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.
