I intend to keep going so long as there is one herb untried. But I know that I have to watch for that despair. It is at its worst when we are alone and it drives people away from us, feeding itself.

Laura has her boy to light her world. I have my quioxtic drive to understand and master this foe. Others have the sunrise.

We have to respect the right of others to give up when all else fails. But we don't have to join them. I will continue on and enjoy the journey as I can.
