A SOJOURN....WITH SELF & ALTER EGO....

THE EYELIDS DROOPED UNDER THE PRESSURE OF DEPRIVATION, AS THE LEVELS OF AUDITORY STIMULATION BECAME IRRITATING, WHILE THE FLOOR STARTED TO VIBRATE AND MOVE FROM SIDE TO SIDE, AND ALL THE QUESTIONS , PREGNANT AND LACED WITH THEIR OWN IRONY AND POIGNANCY, FLASHED THROUGH THE MIND,WHILE THAT SINKING FEELING HAD NOT YET ABATED, AND AS THE PARCHED DRY LIPS RECEIVED THE LAST DROP OF MOISTURE, SQUEEZED FROM A RAG, A DOG BARKED AND BROKE THE REVERIE OF AN ITINERANT WARRIOR, WHO WAS SOJOURNING THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE, ASSISTED BY NONE OTHER THAN HIS TRUSTED SELF AND ALTER EGO, WHICH HAD TAKEN A BEATING IN THE LAST 250 000 MILES AND 10 YEARS OF HIS LIFE, BUT STILL HE PERSISTED AND PERSEVERED UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF HIS RISING STAR AND THE GREAT MASTER, WHOM HE HAD MET IN HIS DREAMS, STAYING IN THE BAMBOO HUT, NEAR THE CAVE OF ILLUMINATION, WHICH HAD ALWAYS EXISTED AND SHONE LIKE A BRIGHT LIGHT, DURING WHICH TIME HE HAD DISCOVERED THAT THE SECRETS OF IMPLEMENTATION LAY IN THE FINDING OF THE SET OF KEYS IN A PARTICULAR ORDER, AND AS HE CONTEMPLATED THESE THOUGHTS, THERE APPEARED BEFORE HIM A LIGHT WHICH HAD CROSSED MANY GALAXIES TO GET THERE AND AS HE BLINKED IN THE MOMENT, HE FELT A RUSH AND THE NEXT PART OF HIS TRAVELS HAD BEGUN.
