Never have been dormant for so long.
I have moved frequently in my life but never alone. Never without reinforcements.
A journey whose culmination is so far away that it almost weakens my resolve.
A dream so variable that it causes me to almost stumble.
A hope so innate it ensures attainment of my aspirations.

Felix Qui Potuit Rerum Cognoscere Causas
Felix Qui Potuit Rerum Cognoscere Causas means
Happy (is s/he) who isable to know the causes of things.
Vergil, Georgics 2.490 (ref. to Lucretius)
“Felix, qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas,atque metus omnis et inexorabile fatumsubiecit pedibus strepitumque Acherontis avari.Fortunatus et ille, deos qui novit agrestis,Panaque Silvanumque senem Nymphasque sorores”
“Blessed is he whose mind had power to probe
The causes of things and trample underfoot
All terrors and inexorable fate
And the clamour of devouring Acheron;
But happy too is he who knows the gods of the countryside,
knows Panand old Silvanus
And the sister Nymphs.”
