Yo say. "Knowing, hearing what other have gone through, are going through, reminds me that I still need to fight, if I can."

with three ups and downs in my 80 yr life uprooting and settling often starting from bottom, the will to live on comes from the realisation that this. too. is LIFE ...and some get what's even what's more trying.
And yes, the people around us change or die -- and always have -- but there is also always no less reason to find some flicker of joy.

It's the mew-call from cat who wants to rough-house even tho I just played turning his 18 yr frame around on floor and make him jump twice from kitchen sink.

So the source for me is not 'To Fight" but to find where next little surprise lurks. Have you seen the new fall leaves already emerging from their summer slumber-of-green eager to show off their new dazzlng dress? The fallen cones on the ground bid you to kick them releasing a sudden nimbleness in your body.

I remember the the last lines of The Great Gatsby, tomorrow wll be ... oars against the currents....
Bon Voyage friend
