Weakness [journal]
Feb. 27th, 2005 01:23 amHow can I be a beam of light in the darkness, shining in from the open doorway, if there is no darkness on the other side of the door?
I have used all of my strength; my light is dimming, so the only way to remain bright is to shine in darker places. I have become weak -- forgotten what I am, useless to make things happen, blind to see progress, vulnerable to every attack, without strength to face the evils that I am here to face.
Without myself I am wasting away. I am more tired than I have ever been although I sleep more, more hungry even though I eat more, weaker though I walk and exercise more, unable to think though I'm posed easy questions.
