I've Nearly Made It

[What I Hear| Coldplay "What if" ]
[What I Smell| BPAL Queen of Spades ]
October is a very, very hard month for me. This year has pretty much been the worst on record, in a life that has given me some severe Octobers.
But it's nearly over. The Celtic New Year is just there at the horizon and if I can make it through...if I can fight through the Fomhoirian hordes...if I can just keep holding my position until the battle is over...then it'll be okay. It will. It has to be okay.
My alter ego bears Gae Bolg and is a fierce fighter. Me, I'm the one swinging Cliamh Solas and hoping that the Sword of Light will win the day where my feeble human body cannot. I fight with a grim determination, occasionally punctuated with the fury that only the cold, bitter Air can bring forth: I will set my words and my will to do what a mere human cannot.
I've felt so abandoned. I sometimes feel I am the only one holding this particular hill against the Enemy and that when I go down, it will no longer matter to anyone that I was here. That the battle surges on and I've made no difference at all.
What I sorely wish is that I could have communicated more to each of you about what is all around us, but that's beyond both the pixels and electronic data. You'll have to discover that on your own.
However, I'll tell you a secret: Your life is more heroic than you realise. You are Called to be where you are, with your particular gifts, and you can choose to ignore it and pretend things are mundane and usual, or you can open your eyes and finally see what is really going on.
Fight on!
