Such a short distance, forty steps. But how steep, and how high, and will our feet be bare and the pavement hot? No matter, we climb. Not because we're strong, or brave, or courageous, but because it's the direction we must travel. Peace to all those whose journey is tiresome.
so beautiful and so true...
ReplyDeleteI have a particular distaste for being called strong. This is why.
ReplyDeletePeace to you on your journey too.
I love this.
ReplyDeleteLife and Death is but a breathe apart, but oh, the distance, the worlds between them!
thank you for this word of truth.
ReplyDeleteSomehow this combination of words and images seems to have squeezed all the air of my lungs. Peace to you xo
ReplyDeletei love this. i too hate being told that i'm so brave or so strong, that they couldn't IMAGINE doing what i'm doing. there is no choice and you're right, it is simply the direction we must travel.
