“The significance of each change of season is easily buried in the smallest of life’s mundanities and trivialities. Yet, the true consequence of time’s passage is there, blaring within the subtle disguise of a whisper for all who would listen.”

“A man’s perspective is limited by the brevity of his existence.
Even living deliberately, how far up can we reach?
Standing on our miniscule patch of time, how far into the future can we see? How much of the past can one truly understand?

Yet, only a recreant spends their precious drops of sand before dropping back
into the abyss lounging in indulgence, not striving for understanding, knowledge,
answers that those of us
scourged/consecrated with consciousness
should seek with unconquerable passion.”
― Alpha Four, Far Forest Scrolls Na Cearcaill

“The embryology of fate before the event is but an ethereal wish, gestating into existence only upon the conclusion. A construct about the past, fate only coagulates into physical form once the outcome has been determined. Only looking backwards from the cozy confines of the future can destiny materialize to be dispensed as an explanation—a fallacious attempt at justification—righteous rationalization for the victor and feeble crutch for the defeated.”

“At the end of the day, even those of us who have never fought in a war have battle scars, visible and invisible, repressed and haunting, external and internal, public and confidential. Regrets can cling to our souls like invasive dew. A spirit dropped by adversity, if encouraged by hope and driven by resolve, can be reborn. For when we stand up after each failing, molded by the courage to endeavor again, a new version of ourselves does rise.”

“The real tragedy of war is the loss of potential. For each life lost a hole will travel through time, an empty spot where he or she would have walked and lived, that will press itself against loved ones like a cold wind. Sometimes at a celebration they will feel like they have forgotten something, perhaps misplaced an object. That is the hole of death.”

“The sightless universe insentiently welcomes all lives, but not all who live have the courage to confront the reality of the infinite universe. Of those who dare to contemplate the vastness of infinity, some will turn their backs in horror, some will try, fruitlessly, to rage against the reality of the truth. The wisest amongst us see the supreme value, even if clothed in absurdity compared to timeless eternity, of our own brief life. They wake up to the reality of the supreme value of our life, our time here.”

“Love is always a risk in all its forms and depths. Love is confronting uncertainty and the possibility of rejection and affection’s demise. Love is laughing at the precariousness and taking the plunge anyway. Love can be painful. Love anyway. Death is certain. Live anyway. Swim in the immersive uncertainty and decide to be vibrant and happy with each moment gifted to us.”
