. . . and we reach a time in our lives which may be called an apocalypse. For some, this sense of revelation is the natural progression of a metaphysical process. For others, it is a harsh awakening. It may happen in the mudflats of Viet Nam, or during the sudden tears at graduation. It may clutch at our throats during a deep sleep, forcing us to watch the fearful dawn with apprehension. It may whisper quietly to us with the turning of a page; it may jar us with the swift cacaphony of an auto wreck. It may be the look of gratitude from a troubled friend; it may be the note of humanity in an enemy's voice. Somewhere; during the frenzied rush between classes, or along a lonely, rain-washed street, the apocalypse occurs. We may even find it in a twisted branch, in the wavering of beach grass, in a ravaged piece of driftwood. When the apocalypse occurs, how it occurs: these are irrelevant. The importance lies in that it happens, to all of us. And for that we are thankful.
