These fleeting concerns disturb my waking hours and interrupt my sleep.
I lack a strength of purpose. I deplore the weakness of my mind; the doubts that happiness will yet return; that new growth of spirit will spring from old; that I will retain the faith to go on building from every death that decimates my world.
And I owe a debt. I have a commitment. I must maintain the will to go on fighting. I must retain the hope that life and love may yet be won.
And I must accept the fact that dogmas may vanish, that temples may fall, that ikons may crumble, and credence may moulder.
