The Sage had heard a Siren’s song and fell in love. Better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. He had found love and was beloved by his family and friends.
After all is said and done, that is the true measure of a man. He had found the Truth and had been redeemed by the Love of his children . . . and that was the Beauty of it all.
In a lifetime full of heartache and happiness, he was very blessed to have his four wonderful children as his legacy of love.
