To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour
Innocent (epic destiny)
Eternity is a long time, or so people say. An Innocent would beg to differ: eternity is longer than the longest time that can possibly be, and then some. A true Innocent would laugh at the very idea of outlasting eternity. A true Innocent simply holds it, cherishes it, without ever claiming to truely understand it. And a true Innocent can wield it like a knife blade. An Innocent understands that there is always something more to understand, and strives to understand.
