Jo-Eb's Quest: The Olive Branch

By Raymond G. Schmidt II

Great joy had been followed by an even greater sorrow. Jo-Eb sat there numb pushing his head into his hands. He was completely drained and had no desire to even try to climb out of this pit of depression. He could no longer fathom a reason for life. How would he now be able to carry on? How could such a tragedy trump all that had ever had any meaning in his life? Then a knock came at the door and a young lad was in need of help. He shoved his self-pity into a corner of his mind for now and he knew that even when tragedy strikes, life still goes on. As you push the bonds of imagination and determine the good that can be accomplished by the giving of yourself; then you can come to grips with adversity and meet it head on. Jo-Eb met such a challenge and managed to make sense of chaos, revitalize himself and learn the worth of his being. The great joy of receiving in his life had been followed by an even greater sorrow. The loss of one so precious that he simply sat there numb; pushing his head into his hands. He was completely drained and had no desire to even try to climb out of this pit of depression. He could no longer fathom a reason for life. How would he now be able to carry on? This tragedy trumped all that had ever had any meaning in his life? Then a knock came at the door and a young lad was in need of help. He shoved his self-pity into a corner of his mind for now and he knew that even when tragedy strikes, life still goes on.
