Yes, it's odd to start the new year with a post titled "Unto the Gates of Hell." Sometimes phrases pop into my head and, as a writer, I greatly respect unbidden messages from the subconscious. If my mind is trying to tell me something, I ignore it at my peril.
The phrase "unto the gates of hell" reminds me of a warrior on the precipice of disaster, back against the wall, fighting against almost certain defeat. She faces the massed hordes with only her faithful companions at her side.
The future feels shaky to me, like anything could happen at any time. In the face of uncertainty, this is where I make my stand; these are the people I stand with.
