Parting Veils of Joy Revisited The world is drifting towards apocalypse around me, Falling apart and seemingly about to shatter into smithereens, I am experiencing poverty, deprivations of every type and intensity, as well as monumental loneliness, Yet simultaneously I exist parting veils of joy. I am experiencing that inner peace and contentment, incongruously and incredibly I am just happy to be alive as I am filled and thrilled with the awareness That I have remained true to my principles and ideals, that despite all that I have endured I have unceasingly and relentlessly told the truth and done what I believe is right. I have not been prompted to compete but interminably sought to cooperate I have renounced coercion and embraced positive reinforcements with all my might, Most daunting has been the exercise in futility of convincing anyone to follow my example and aspire to be free But as I attempt to educate, I am also learning, discovering And accepting that there is no manifest destiny no inevitable happy ending That I exist and must accept that I exist in a milieu of uncertain outcomes and random chance, Even while embracing the challenge to deploy all my will, determination, courage and ingenuity To remain master of my fate, to strike from my psyche the shackles of determinism.
