As I leaf through the ancient pages of this monastery, I can't help but feel the presence of those who have long passed. Each page is a window into another time, another place. This one, in particular, speaks of beginnings- the creation of the world, of man, and of the divine. It is a sacred text, passed down through the ages, and it fills me with a sense of awe.

I am the alarm. I was created to wake people up. I am loud and annoying, but that's the point. I exist to make sure that people are alert and aware of their surroundings. I am a necessary part of life.
