“To recognize our strength, is to see where we stand, that we do stand, that we are standing, upon the Earth where others have walked. For we do not walk any path alone, for the same reason as we should know that others know our difficulties, and can understand us. Self-worth has no meaning, if…

“In ways we feel vulnerable, we are in love. We trust, because we reveal to the other what we’ve held back, when alone. Darkness, holds the same appearance, as loneliness. Everything we reveal, is trusted by the beloved other, to not be scorned. Rather than the truth to scorn us like the sun with its…

In my time of writing, I have received inspiration from a different art form. Some have said that this is a powerful way to write literary works. In many other’s cases, it may be true, too.

“We begin in pain, while we grow through perseverance.” Our Nature, is to grow with each added bit to our structure. And, when we stand, we stand tall, knowing what it took to keep us straight. We begin in the pain, in the seed, in the womb, and we are as an infant to hear…
