When there's still some undefinable
immeasurable
but absolutely non-negotiable
distance to go,
you can't lose heart.
Not true.
Of course you can.
You can drop out, give up the race.
But for the sake of argument
(and joy, and grandchildren,
children, friends, and life itself)
for all those sakes,
let's assume I was right the first time:
you cannot lose heart.
Take courage any way you can:
Bake a pie with the fruit of the day.
Read a book,
preferably one recommended
by a trusted friend,
or one you've read before,
with no mean surprises to make you change your mind
about keeping on.
Find the music you love and listen to it,
alone
or in the company of a similarly-minded audience.
Simplest of all,
seek out a tree
whose rough bark reminds you
of the pattern in everything.
