Shattered

This year I had the opportunity to pursue an aspiration I have had for a very long time. Life of course had other ideas and rolled a very large boulder through my world. I survived and find myself still pursuing my dream, just more slowly and with the considerable trepidation that comes from having just won a Greco-Roman wrestling match with the Grim Reaper.

I try to stay philosophical about it all, to stay reflective on the bigger picture. It is a little unfair in some ways, but then there are far greater hardships being endured by very many people around the world. No, I’m happy to still be here and only hope that my spirit and character are strong enough to carry me with passion and joy through the very many arduous and complex challenges that lie ahead.
