There were times, now disposed, when the taste of the hunt would arouse the roaring spirt

definition of "disposed"
to give a tendency or inclination to; to make fit or ready; prepare;; to arrange or decide matters.
That definition indicates you haven't quit, you have just been in limbo.

My roar has dwindled to a whimper, and my passion's flame would do well to cover the head of a match.

It only takes a spark to get a fire going!

Standing then, I will stretch my sinews back to life and join with others to claim my right to Taste the Hunt until that last puzzle piece is placed.

It's about time! Welcome back!
