Keep a Sharp Lookout – This Fog Won’t Last

 

My country was made for noble hearts such as yours.

 

-Aslan in Voyage of the Dawn Treader

 

When we can’t turn outward, we turn inward

That might not be such a good thing, you know

We are probably out-of-practice, busied

With meetings and work and coffee-shop dates

 

For now our lives are solitude and screens

Pajama feet and emptiness, and if

We call someone, who is it who answers us?

“Be still, and know that I am Internet?”

 

Oh, no. The night is misty indeed, but the stars -

The stars still shine; be brave, and look for them
