This was deep in a stephen crane, vonnegut kind of fashion.

But when the war started slowly I thought only once more
If I make it to midpoint then I should make it some more

This felt like a line for all of us in life. I know that I often have considered my struggles in milestones and goals with beginning middle and end points. The whole piece resonated deeply with me, and this line in particular is staying with me. Beautiful work, thanks for another artful and touching entry :)
