Every victory is its own infinite glory.
20/11/2020
Sanguine and satisfied
Cos I’m holding down the 9 to 5
Pay cheques and prospects
References and resumes
Work smarter not harder
And keep the boss sweet as I find my feet
The dizzying heights
Of the endless mundane
Getting by and keeping sane
As I forge on through
The light of recovery
From the hardest time
Freedom sublime
And some that share
The cross to bear
Of the weight of our regrets
Destiny manifest
So walk on
Head held high
Stiff upper lip
Take pride
In the bravery on show
In the fog of the great unknown
And every victory
Is infinite glory
So wish me luck
As I tell my story

There’s a lyric from one of my favourite bands; ‘Against Me!!’ that goes: “Every mistake is now our own infinite failure”. So it makes sense that the opposite is true that every victory is its own infinite glory.
My life is incredibly mundane in some ways and an epic adventure in others, wish me luck as I chase down a life rich in meaning and joy.
