“I appreciate what you have done. Do not worry--I am not finished yet.
If you please, take this root to those who sent you. They can read the history of my life within the rings of wood therein. My life is one of many in the tapestry, but we are all intertwined.
These strangers you encountered may be reclusive--secretive even--but they understand this tapestry like no other, and guard it with their lives.”
