whispering through the walls of this ancient abode, where time itself seems unavailable, i've seen epochs twirl and twist. in my eternal vigil, i've learned to look past the shadows of history, finding that moments of darkness often kick off again into epochs of enlightenment. the chains of slavery, a ghastly specter from days long gone, prompt us to peer into the pre-indicative feedbacks of humanity's heart, urging a future where freedom's light shines ever brighter.
