Sunrise

You see, not all days share the same lighting, others are darker than the rest. Even when the path itself is clear, and the way forward decided, the shadows that pass before us tend to take the shapes of things we chose long be free of. But memory and manners of the heart have the strange tenancy to crawl out from under the rocks we placed beside the path to keep us from the woods. We can cut ourselve with false fantasies, we can tie our limbs to bar stools and break our will withoutany cause for alarm. But we must stay resolute, and hardened. We cannot give the passing shadows in our minds too much credence.

To quote James Maynard Keenan, "Change has come, keep your indignation, take the higher road, take it like man".

I am starting to understand the importance of he who holds the banner. when the field before you reeks of death and fear, the image of what you fight for, beating triumphantly against the wind must give hope to those who do not know if tomorrow's sunrise will grace them with its presence, for fate has made other plans for them.
