Plumbing the depths inside yourself is not easy work. It is difficult work.
the way to break free of what we are is to find out who we might have been, and to try to restore some kernel of our lost essence. (RK)
Allons! through struggles and wars!
The goal that was named cannot be countermanded.
Have the past struggles succeeded?
What has succeeded? yourself? your nation? Nature?
Now understand me well—it is provided in the essence of things that from any fruition of success, no matter what, shall come forth something to make a greater struggle necessary.
My call is the call of battle, I nourish active rebellion,
He going with me must go well arm’d,
He going with me goes often with spare diet, poverty, angry enemies, desertions.
Song of the Open Road, 14, Walt Whitman
