What lies beyond it? No One knows — as Burroughs says in The Western Lands — “Knowing you might not make it... in that knowledge courage is born.” Thanks for this. The part of me that wants to pick up and flee needed to be reminded that sometimes taking a stand, no matter what the consequences to the self, may be the correct course of action. Of course, my stance on this has profound outcomes for those I love who would stay because of my decision. I am at that Arjuna & Krisna moment, looking across the field, and hesitating out of love for those that would be my foes.
