THE LIGHTNING

Fight the lightning.

You cannot win.

You cannot race it

or domesticate it

or conquer it.

Not now.

Not yet.

The lightning is not even your enemy.

Not always.

Not today.

But it is there

and it is dangerous

and it cannot be harvested

so it must be struggled against,

wrested into submission.

Contest the lightning.

Lose,

but lose well

after a righteous war.
