We
often thirst for reason in chaos. We are hungry for rationalization in
a maelstrom. But it's not there. It's never there. The world, in one
instant, is upended and astray.
Reason
is an evasive mistress; cruel and merciless and absent. Yet our hope
for an answer, the quest for absolution, is far too great.
So we walk on...
We
wear down… our feet blister, our energy drains, our soul tires... We
want to stop, lie down, rest our eyes for just a moment.
Though
the road is long, each step is a celebration. We have time to reflect
upon memories that warm the heart, a fire that no passage of time will
ever dim. We have a moment to breathe and smile and know that if we
just take another step, if we just wait for the bend of the road to
stray a little further back, for the crest of the hill to fall away just
a bit more… then stubborn Reason will release all her mysteries… and
the journey would be worth the pain..
So we continue…
In the end, what else can we do?
We walk on…
