Down too long...

This is from my favorite author's blog today.... http://paulocoelhoblog.com/


The Strength of the Warrior

The warrior - inadvertently - takes a wrong step and falls into the abyss. Phantoms startle him, loneliness torments him. As always he sought the Good Combat, and didn’t think this would happen to him.
But it did. Surrounded by darkness, he communicates with his master.
"Master, I have fallen into the abyss," he says. "The waters are deep and dark."
"Remember one thing," replies the master. "That it is not the fall which drowns, but the length of time underwater."
And this causes the warrior to use all his strength to get out of the situation in which he finds himself.

So, I post this because I now realize that I let myself stay down for too long this time...I saw this coming some time ago, but, thought that I could manage things by myself, since I've been doing a decent job for the past few years, but, too much is too much this time around and I have had to reach out. I can only hope that not too much time will pass before I get the hell out of here....I don't like being underwater :-(
