Our eternal quest. Search deeper into the dark cave of existence. Extend a loving hand to those stuck below - and begin your ascent back into the warm embrace of the light once more. Our eternal quest continues, and so does my climb. In my final steps to the summit, I will stop and wait for you. We can take one last look down upon our beautiful work. They laugh and swing from the branches of all the trees that we planted - knowing we would never sit in the sweet summer shade beneath them. Side by side, our eternal quest ends. Profound Joy. We found it.
Together.
