Today, I have had a most meaningful conversation with two of my most valued friends. Through this conversation, I have to say, that the take-away was truly priceless. It has been such a very long time, I’d say 3 years to be exact, since I have felt such a strong emotional urge to get something done.

And for once, it is not the result that matters, but the process. Perhaps now I can finally understand the sentiments of a certain person when he said, “Never mind what we do, just do something together,” for what is truly precious in life is not where we have been, but who we have met, and what we have done.

Forsaking the mystery of the cause and effect / random universe, if we were to truly have a choice, and even if we did not have one, as long as we KNOW that we have, in our own minds decided on something and saw it through, that alone should count.

To meet like minded people is by itself a rather hard to come by event. The fact that I have met two of such people, and that they are willing to tread this path, or rather, create this path with me is a blessing as rare as an eclipse.

Now, with the objective clear and in sight, the capabilities measured and verified, should I fail to see through till the end the battle I have chosen to fight with my blessed companions, I shall truly be damned to burn in hell for all eternity.

This is a chance to write our own stories, rather than let life write it for us. This is a chance that might never come by again, and it is now action that would spell the outcome of this perfect hand – play it and win, or never play again.
