Swimming in the Darkness, Searching for the Light..

 Scott Durzo is a Free Man.

And here I am, rotting away on the inside, finding moments of incredible happiness and counting my immeasurable blessings, never short on gratitude. And yet, somehow, still trapped in the darkness; swimming upstream to the places where the light can find its way in.

I'll keep swimming. It's the best I can do. The people I love deserve nothing less.

But..


It's like James Baldwin once said:


"..the earth is always shifting,

the light is always changing,

the sea does not cease to grind down rock.


Generations do not cease to be born,

and we are responsible to them

because we are the only witnesses they have.


The sea rises, the light fails,

lovers cling to each other,

and children cling to us.


The moment we cease to hold each other,

the moment we break faith with one another,

the sea engulfs us and the light goes out."

Love has to Win. Somehow. And True Love, in the public sense, is the presence of Justice. What else can it be?

Right?
