"Your actions will follow you full circle 'round."
The priestess sang to me today as I took center stage.
You watched me prance and cavort, perform magic and entertain, while, in my head, the priestess sang and the owl circumnavigated the pentagram in which I stood.
The owl, when I finished, lit upon my left shoulder, and we gazed out at you. One of us blinked and the gilded rays from two eyes momentarily let you free.
The priestess sang, "The higher you leap; the harder the ground," but you could not hear her. I bowed to you, to faith, to fate, and to the owl for maintaining my soul, and we exited, stage left.
