Sometimes life can seem almost insurmountable, throwing us so many curve balls, disappointments, false starts, and doubts. How do we keep going? What is is that gets people to say that they will continue despite having no answers, and limited options? The human spirit is a surprising, trivial, and amazing thing. The ones who seem to have the least in life and the most difficulty seem to smile brighter than the ones who have it all. As we think of this paradox perhaps we can see how it plays out in our lives. Maybe we have much and we are grateful, perhaps we have nothing and we are in despair, maybe we are just doing alright, or we have all the riches of the world but no matter how much we wish we could, we just can't enjoy them or see the point in life. My first poem post Banners of Life attempts to capture the struggle of life against all of these strange curve balls. No matter what our social status, or circumstances, at some point we are almost all faced with a moment where it all just seems so heavy. Please feel free to comment and share what makes you stumble, and what keeps you going. Voila!
