A Ru is as alone as he can be. There was a time when the Ru was the corner post that held all around him upright. The Ru was the guy that never showed fear. The Ru never let anybody see his fear. The Ru never allowed himself to think about the fears that drove him. Now the Ru is showing his fear. The Ru cannot get the fear out of his thoughts and cannot communicate what his fear is. Afraid to go on and unable to talk, the Ru cannot be content. He laughs; he jokes; he is the blast-- but silently he cries. The inside cry cannot be explained. The role the Ru is playing in life is nearing its end. The Ru has almost finished what he had to do. The Ru had three loves in his life. The women who found the Ru were his first taste of love. The woman that married him was his second taste of love. Then the Ru had his third and final taste of love: his child. The Ru did all he could to be the parent that he never had. Now that the child is almost grown, the Ru cannot find peace. He will hang in there like all Ru's do. The Ru will not give up. The Ru may someday face the fear that drives him. A Ru is as alone as he can be. |
