Cryptic (Part 18)

The story continues as this unlikely pair prepare to meet with Destiny. After meeting Fate it seemed that it would be difficult to understand the meaning of the words that he had presented, but the more that Peace thought about them the clearer they became. Destiny was not a place or a person, but a feeling, a feeling so powerful that it could cause someone to do things that would seem unimaginable to a sane person. Destiny disguises itself well, and comes in many forms, it is always well anticipated but usually comes when unexpected.

 

The mind is a place with many hiding places and Destiny seeks these places to remain silent until just the right moment to appear. Always present, but never noticeable until something triggers its release mechanism, allowing Destiny to appear from the dark recesses into the clear light of day. It is these moments when time seems to stop and everything has purpose and clarity, as if a message has been sent from somewhere explaining everything directly to us. There is no postmark or return address, and the message is not long. Destiny can unfold itself at any time.

 

Some choose to ignore these messages and are blind to them, while others are driven insane with the knowledge that Destiny brings forth. Strange things occur when one makes themselves open and vulnerable, and these are the things that Peace had tried to explain. He had hoped to make the journey of discovery and understanding with Love’s help, but it was becoming obvious that Love may not be what she appeared to be. Love it seems was Peace’s Destiny and had disguised herself well in a form presented each time to him from somewhere in his dreams. What lies ahead for the two of them was something that Destiny had made clear to him, and he was struggling to hide the pain of possibly losing Love once again. His feelings for her had not changed, but Love being elusive had always followed her own Destiny, which may but not always be with Peace.

 

As for Doom, well, we all play with Destiny and sometimes it is best to keep the black dog close at hand, as a constant reminder of the truth…. of our final Destination.

 

To be continued….
