And Sometimes We Falter...
I had of course meant to write something myself into the challenge, but I couldn't Will it into words on screen, though naturally I thought about it. I suppose I carried my own title through to "leading" conclusion.
A momentary block.
I greatly enjoyed all twenty-five entries linked here to the challenge itself:

The entry that intrigued, most, is the almost unfinished as-if write by ARC9. It opens more questions and while it seems linear in suggestion of Time, we know (in thinking) our being is neither chronological nor logical. The battle continues overtime, true, usually as if with less urgency, until the Spirit dies, but not necessarily in death itself-- was my interpretation. We reach back and forth, in past and wishful thinking, and hesitate in the moment.
The Mind over Matter battle, countered with one more element-- of Fighting Spirit.
I will continue to ponder this, and eventually write that write I was stopping.
Thank you again everyone for the wonderful reads!
