Things have not been making sense lately. It's been so long since I've felt balanced. Meditation does not quiet me. It now feels like an empty habit. Work allows me to forget for a while, block all out but that.
The JLA keeps me busy, but Shay noticed the strain. She thankfully chalked it up to self-absorbtion, which is all it might be. The point is to forget and release the self, to let go.
And I fail.
Dad told me...everything...about Dinah. I knew the bastard did something to her. Light doesn't pass up the cheap shots and he goes for the ones that hurt the most. I find myself looking forward to facing down that son of a bitch. I find myself visualizing his face on the target. He damn near destroyed Earth's greatest heroes, created a moment of panic that made us forget ourselves and what sets us apart from those we battle.
If it hadn't been Light, it would have been someone else, some other test where we'd find ourselves lacking.
And we will be tested again and again...and we can NEVER afford to fail.
