As a boy I wandered field and mountain, desert and ocean, forest and the icy reaches at the top and bottom of our world, and each place I found was another mystery waiting for me to discover. One day I found a silver doorway set into the side of a tall mountain. There were such detailed carvings of moons and planets and stars and all those things beyond our own small planet that I pulled the door open without hesitation, and within was the infinite apeirogon. I traveled the apeirogon on the back of a moonbeam I had rescued from the Land of Shadows. In time, I came to the Crystal Universe, and there I live to this day, writing of all I have seen.

Despair - the world has lost its way.

Hope! There is a will in nature to survive under the worst of conditions. The future may not include humans, but it will continue with some form of life flourishing, probably cockroaches and mosquitos.

With a new growth, there has to be hope!

Hope is a four-letter word. When you have the "opportunity" to watch something or someone die, there are invariably times when things start to look up, and you have hope. Just notice the new growth and keep an eye on it, but your life will be a lot easier if you don't attach hope to the event!

I think determination, again as illustrated by this quote from Gone With the Wind when Scarlet said: "As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again." I think Sly Blue Fox could have said this if it had not already been used. And I like auntietks views also! Provacative scene and title, very good!
