hi tkc,
barge is cuchulain battling the tide that swirls around him.
he doesn't hide when things seem grim. he fights you head on out in a space where the combat offers him no advantages. i see only his heroic one-man-stand. loyal to the last.
and the one shining truth that is always out there. the possibility of a major order appears out of nowhere and saves the day.
you and i choose to inhabit the centre of the bell curve of likelihoods. but barge chooses to present a world far out on the edge.
live and let live, tkc.
