Words are one of the most powerful magics. With words we can reveal truth. With words we can weave lies. We can convince someone to love us. We can trick someone into hating another. When the words are written down they can be passed on to people we have never met, to people who have not yet been born.

There’s a benefit to being able to pick out your own head and carve your own face. Sometimes the head can be bigger and smarter. Sometimes it can be taller and more distinguished. Other days an ordinary sized head is perfect. But always remember to carve a smile! You’ll start your day off right!
