Ambiance

It could be no other!

December 2, 2016 at 1:42 am (By Ron) (Austerlitz Day)

The cosmic whimsy of the universe has made you L’empereur of your fate.  There is no way around it for any of us, as much as we would not wish it to be so.

And to be sure, Life is indeed the longest, hardest campaign even for those of us given gifts from the gods.  How many times resources are strained at best and non-existent at most typical!  How many grueling holding actions, forced retreats, barely avoided routs and even worse debacles are closer to you than kith and kin!  Those of you somberly nodding your heads as you read this know whence I speak.

But Today, that most glorious of days, Austerlitz Day, allows for no such gloom!

Your careful preparations, your adroit maneuver, and, above all, your indomitable will have brought you here, sublimely ready to reap the harvest of past circumspections.

The artillery of your passion and courage shall smash the weak fixed formations of melancholy arrayed before you! The infantry of a wise and calm heart shall seize and retain the high ground of what is most precious to you, and the cavalry of your energetic joy shall overtake and capture all past doubts and misfortunes for you to ransom as you deem fit!

That day….is today.  That day is your….Austerlitz Day.
