VJs Weekly Challenge – Stuff Happens

“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.” Akiro Kurosawa
Here I Am Mine was the cinder path and only later did my child's mind see the darkness of the struggle as a tree that never grows straight as whipped by rain, chastened by sleet and shaped by wind, all the while deprived in repellent rock lacking in goodness, but here I am leaning into the wind, smiling at all life's stuff. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
The will to go on is indomitable in this world, by design. Otherwise all life would have long disappeared. I’m glad you’ve reached that state of mind and thank you for the reminder ❤
