"These Moments"
“There is no joy without hardship. If not for death, would we appreciate life? If not for hate, would we know the ultimate goal is love? At these moments you can either hold on to negativity and look for blame, or you can choose to heal and keep on loving.”
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Jaeda DeWalt
Inspirational Karen,
I love this photograph!
Crouched in the corner of darkness . . .
shrouded in visceral emotions and vulnerability.
This is a deeply emotive and compelling image.
I agree, life is a bittersweet experience, it is about darkness and light,
pain and pleasure, joy and sadness, balance . . .
life is full-spectrum experience and we can appreciate it best
when we allow ourselves to surrender to the whole spectrum.
PEACE and LIGHT
