Take Great Cheer
Take cheer in this moment. It’s a prelude to something other, just as this day is the eve of all the days to come. It’s hard for me not to be optimistic. I feel as though I’m at the symphony. The musicians are carefully tuning and will soon play the same chord, just before this great hall reverberates into silence. My great expectations are now the ashes of fires I set years ago. My idea of finally becoming something greater is now realized to be ever-becoming. This life is a forever journey through all time and space. If you refuse to bend while you are green you will one day become rigid, and like a club carried in the hand will seek someone to bludgeon.
