to a brighter tomorrow...

it's been a hell of a year. difficult. scarring. uncertain. but we pull ourselves up on the other side, just as we always do. one more notch for our swords, and off we go on another adventure.

my sword is always ready.

Home is behind, the world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade
Hope shall fail, all shall fade
