Some great posts here.

I think the 'war' or 'conflict' ['words', eh!] is not so much within 'Avalon' the
structure/org or the sometimes mean and riling posts, but between 'us' and the forces who are trying to disrupt what we represent.

I think it is to be expected If what we are involved in is real.
Which it is.

It works for a bit [the disruption], but then we start working
around it, and so on and so on.

We are flexible, 'they' are not.

This place has been [and will continue to be]
a Crucible for many great new things that will
go off and have multiplications and bifurcations of their own.

Pebble, Pond, Ripple.......................Wave.......

And for this, I want to massively thank ALL involved in the conception
and running of this place, and this whole idea.

Welcome to the winning side!

A brilliant poem If I may;
__________________________________________________ _________

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

* by William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) ,

Peace be upon you all.
