An opus of what is when all else is dark and yes, the sliver of light leading us into where we must find what awaits. The genuine self.

I deeply enjoyed the essay and most importantly appreciate the fact, one is never alone. Others experience the same thing. Like yourself. Others do not, but do in different ways, find their fate ... not themselves. We know these sorts. While you, you are a sage beyond your years. A wayfarer personified. A genuine warrior poet. Thank you for that. Thank you for sharing. To me, you are part of the "universe" that I so fervently believe in.
