Survival 101

If all else fails and all you can do in this life is persist and the clouds will still move across the sky and the Earth will still turn in its vastness and lovers will still crumble into one another and there will still be nothing more than what you are right now and no one can take your wilderness from you and one day all that will be left is perhaps something more magnificent than now,

If all else fails,

And all you can do in this wicked, tumultuous, wonted, wonderful, illuminated, fierce life is live,

Then do so.
