This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That Gods, strange Gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the Gods in me and the Gods in other men and women. There is my creed.
