I’ve learned that my thought for the day which turned into thought for the week may now be a thought for the month. This one is February’s, though I hope I’ll have at least one more thought.
“I will not go quietly into the night.” Those words were used in the movie Independence Day, but they are a variation of the poem “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. You can take this in a way personal to your life. As we age, we might think of it as fighting the inevitable , there is an end to all things. I wrote my books for love of the story, to express in fiction some of what I’ve felt and have experienced in my life. Marcus does not go gentle or quiet into the darkness Gregor gave him. That is my version of this expression. Yes, we don’t want to age, but neither should we be quiet when darkness descends upon us. Funny how that is a nice transition to the prequel to Dark Night, so I add, do not step quietly into the Darkness Descending.
