If thou art a leader and givest command to the multitude, strive after every excellence, until there be no fault in thy nature. Truth is good and its worth is lasting, and it hath not been disturbed since the day of its creator, whereas he that transgesseth its ordinances is punished. It lieth as a right path in front of him that knoweth nothing. Wrongdoing hath never yet brought its venture to port. Evil indeed winneth wealth, but the strength of truth is that it endureth and the upright saith: It is the property of my father.

There he sits so peacefully On my desk just looking at me – At this, the turning point of the night - Legs folded, back straight, aware, upright. I long to know what his words say Opened across his lap that way Through images created by colors divine Floating from his thoughts to mine. Write the story... the story tells Of herbal solutions and mystic spells. The positive energy transferred through love Is the power which the scribe writes of. From the Valley of the Kings and Queens His message is clearly received, it seems - Transcending the universe in space and time To share his wisdom of love sublime. With thanks I admire his posture and form. Wrapped in these thoughts I'm cozy and warm. I thank the universe and powers that be For bringing this message home to me.

Without the work the scribes left behind, we would find no meaning in the Rosetta Stone. The inscriptions within the temples and tombs of Egypt would be absent. Legends of the gods and goddesses would have been lost in time, and we would know very little about the ancient Egyptian way of doing things. What we know and understand about the Egyptians we owe to the diligent scribes of the ancient world.

The scribes of ancient Egypt did an admirable job of bringing their world into the future. We have benefited from their insight, wisdom, words, and art. Modern day scribes carry on the tradition of recording history and creating dreams with words. The words of scribes long ago will reach through the space of time to speak to you with clarity and dignity.
