Morning.

“I learn a great deal by merely observing you, and letting you talk as long as you please, and taking note of what you do not say.”
— T.S. Eliot

And I watch to see who does the same...

Excerpt from a script I haven't written, yet.

Mary: What did he say to you?

Devon: [tears in his/her eyes] He said i was one of the 99 attributes of God, and that, for the world to exist, we have to live, unaware of who we are. He said that was because, if me and all the others know who we really are, we'll cause the end of this world. He said that Our awakening is God's awakening.

He... he said he was my dad...

Mary: [pausing to take all that in] Hm. Well, i don't know anything about your family, but he was right about one thing: you ARE one of the attributes of God.

Devon: what?! How do you know that?

Mary: Oh that's easy; i can see it all over you. But he was Wrong about something, too.

Devon: what d'you mean?

Mary: i mean he was wrong about the number. There aren't 99 of you, Devon.

Devon: What...? How many are there?

Mary: well that's the question. On this planet? There are about 7 billion human-shaped attributes of God.

But there is only one Devon Quire. Never forget that.
