despair not, diligent traveler. prefer the effort, even if it only serves itself. recall: the purpose is most valid when it fills you up without drowning you, washing over others and wiping them out, or at least away from your side. what was that about your light being a beacon, promising light and warmth to your companions, the ones who have joined you and maybe more so the ones you have found on your way... to where? if you and yours depend on the consistency of your path, then everyone else can only hope, and, really, now, expect, demand, even, that when your trajectories meet, it can be called encounter and not conflict.
