This Is Not New

The smell, mildew, dusk, decades and decades of papers and memories.

The knowledge of the human mind has a smell.

Treasure.

Treasure of old, in sunken ships at sea. This treasure is rich in value and history.

To the new eyes it appears new.

To the new reader a new book appears a revelation.

True treasure is never new. It is passed down through the ages.

To us.

They tell us there is a new author. A new cover. A new concept.

Too much money is spent on old ideas in new boxes.

Tears are cried when suffering occurs because new doctors cannot fix.

Treasures are old.

Truth is old.

Trust yourself and know that neither the book nor the doctor have the answers.

The answers are within for they are part of us.

The truth is, nothing new is brought forth. No new answers. Only new voices.

Trust the voices but above all, trust the voice within.

The past answers will stand true.

Tears will fade. For you hold the treasure within you. And you'll smile.
