A favorite that touched something so deeply within me, it's a pity this epic only came to me less than a year ago. Perhaps, it came to me at just the right time. Sometimes, it feels like I've known this epic my entire life. The Epic of Gilgamesh is something I understood immediately upon reading.
There's something so beautiful that this epic, one of the earliest literary work known to men, feels like a reflection of my soul. Even now, no matter how many times I've read Gilgamesh, I still don't have the words to describe how much it means to me, how deeply it spoke to me.
The Epic of Gilgamesh told me many things about myself. I knew this book on a spiritual level. It is a personal testimony, and it is alive within me.
