Onward

It's a New Year. If you're here, it means you outlasted the terrible horseback calvary that's been bearing down on you since birth. It means your flight has not been easy and your deliverance has not been destiny. It means that at times you had to stop running and fight. Yes, you've had to face that ghoulish regiment that has been haunting your trek. There have been times that you've had to run faster and times you've had to stop and catch your breath, but you always push forward. You always move.



Some days it felt like you'd moved so fast that you'd gone forward in time and some days it felt like you've become frozen in the present and resigned yourself to the clutches of the phantasms that were giving chase. 



Never! You'll never stop moving, going, learning and becoming better than they said you could ever be. You made it this far because you had to see tomorrow! You had to know. You wanted to live there in the misty dew of a new day. It's how you escaped - by entertaining forbidden dreams and believing that there was more than met your eyes. There was always more and there is more still.



There will be cliffs as high as the sky and valleys as low as hell, but you'll make your way across and around them all. Along the way, you'll be hurt. Someone may pierce your heart. You may dream of a longer rest and even when your gait finally slows; you'll keep marching and beating back the rotting hands of yesterday as you chart a course to infinity.
