"Brent Cotton" is about the Moral Mind of God in the Aftermath of War. Our Days of Military Service Upon The Earth begin in the Discipline of the Mystical Darkness of the early morning hours in the Vault of Silence between Man and his Creator in Contemplation of the Sunrise awaiting in expectation of another day of duty, and perhaps the end of days, beneath the canopy of Stars for the first gray dim perceptions of Faint Light and to the appearance of the Sun upon the horizon regaled with many hues of splendid colors and to the realization that we are standing upon, and live in wonder of, a place called Earth, in all the charms of its elements and through the changing of the seasons of the year; a Wobbly World spinning in outer-space, circling a lone Star, among unfathomed Galaxies of Stars in a vast and inconceivable Universe; that is for us our Home in Heaven, as we know it to be, and with humbleness, to embrace the blessed toil of Combat of our days, secure in the knowledge that somehow and miraculously, We, and All There Is, Have Come To Exist; and to the Religious Sacrifice of each of our lives for it, the Call of Duty. To Understand Our Place IN The Moral Mind Of God, of what it means to surrender our lives to Combat and for our sense of Duty, To Realize That We Exist In A Fusion Of Souls And Mind-Thought With "All Things" Sentient, Who Exist IN The Mind Of The Creator TO Be A Part Of. And That All of This Interlacing of the Soul Of Everything Has Thought Upon Us, Involving Us With Itself, And We With Itself, Depending On Our Perceptions Of It, and Its Perceptions Of Us, To Relate To. And Always It Is with The Understanding About Everything, "To Be Mindful," And To Have Respect And Reverence And Cherishment For Everything, In Harmony To The Creator; Whose Dream, All Alone In The Timeless Darkness, It Was, For All Things To Exist. Prayer Alone Will Not Take Us There. It is only by Diligent Application and By Doing What Is Right That We Can Survive the Eternity that cannot endure a flaw. Duty Is Our Salvation. Duty Redeems Us and Sustains Us. Our Sacrifice of Duty Defines Us in our Holy Heritage as a Nation. "Sooner or later one has to take sides."The Quiet AmericanGraham Greene
