Life has many turns, as we keep trudging along between weakness and strength and other circumstances, both predictable and otherwise.

By the light of the faintest glimmer
of hope, we must ride along
The frightening edge of disaster,
in the face of injustice and wrong;
By the touch of the weakest responses
of faith we must carry on
The tasks of bearing the burden
of problems for which we are born;
By the sight of the barest chances,
we must our freedom sustain,
While the breath of a single blessing
helps soften the pressure of pain.
For the structural strength of tomorrow,
we must set the foundation today,
As we forge ahead, undaunted,
this being the only way!

    This is one of the best things I’ve read from Triond.

    I have to keep re-reading this to make sure I didn’t dream it! To make sure it’s real! The fact that something this exquisite is in existence makes my world better.

    I love it. I absolutely love it.

    Thank you for these words.
