What Have We Lost?
What have we lost? We have lost the will to fight. We have lost the intelligence to see through the veil of evil that has descended upon all of humanity. We have lost ourselves and now stand poised to lose our souls.
There is a man whose sincerity and honesty of thought is dear to me that just informed his readers that he has acquiesced to getting a second jab to save his job. This saddens me deeply. I have family members who have made the same choice. It feels to me as if each of them has been placed in a dinghy and has been set adrift – alone on the seas of forever. I now stand on the deck of what ship I know not, frankly, and am burdened to stand and watch as they drift away. I will continue my gaze with heavy heart. I will pray for them and long for their survival. I will stand watch for as long as I have breath and be here should they return from the mist into which they have been cast. In kind, I will wonder at my own fate for not joining them. But I will stand in firm resolve to hold my ground until whatever end is written for me in the Cosmos.
Should our fates be so sealed? I suppose this is the culmination of humanity’s collective karma. Looking across the seascape of life it becomes clear that, indeed, we have brought this upon ourselves. And though this be the end of one age, it is the beginning of another. Not the beginning of what those forces who hate humanity believe they are creating. It is the beginning of their end, though in their arrogance they are blind to this – or know it and do not care. It is also the leading edge of humanity’s advancement back to its roots. For out of tragedy is borne bliss, for life is pain and pain endured is life sprouted anew.
I love my wife, my family – my children and grandchildren. The gods have been good to me, though I know not why. I have so long to go, so many mountains to conquer in my travels upon this Earth, in this time. I refuse to believe my walk upon Earth’s breast is over. If it is, then so be it – this is my karma. However, I will not give up. I will not acquiesce to fear, nor the evil within or without. If it is my destiny to survive this tyranny, then I will be here for any and all I might be able to help recover, to do the will of the gods, to do the Will of God, to live out Paul’s words, “Not I, but Christ in me.”
