[DonnaL@donnal]

(Version anglais / English version)

Struggles can be a source of beauty, you know…
Strong emotions inspire poetry
And paintings
That bring color to
An otherwise gray existence.

And a pearl? So bright and glowing,
Smooth and hypnotic,
Like the moon herself?
A pearl begins as a single grain of sand
Lodged inside a oyster, causing it discomfort.

Abdication may cross the mind;
This is natural – the dual instinct of
Fight or flight…
But flghting isn’t always warfare,
And flight isn’t always an escape.

Sometimes the greatest battle is
Conquering one’s own fears,
And sometimes flying is
Making a leap of faith, and
Riding the winds of change.

The future is hidden,
Like the sun behind the clouds;
But it’s there, and it shines –
We might not always see its light,
But we feel its warmth in the smiles of our friends.
