Role

Chapter 14

The temple feels empty of late. Of course, Father's presence fills it, but those
who lived in it are gone beyond, in some cases. No more the wise words of Thurmonbrue, or
the teachings of Father's Voice, Quarissa. If the temple is to thrive, someone will need to
fill their roles. Am I the one? In truth, I so rarely have opportunity to travel that I
cannot see myself as taking on the mantle of Father's Voice. Once, I thought I could
serve as His Flame, for such seems to be where my talents lie, and I could accomplish
much even as His Voice spreads the word of Father at times when I would not be able to.
The bull Aurtu serves as Flame, though, and much as I might wish to see him take on the
mantle of the voice, the idea of a bull as a preacher is almost laughable. Perhaps Father
will see him given human tongue, the better to speak His word.
