The Struggle

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them ~ Khalil Gibran

Joy always seems elusive

But it should be planted now 

Sorrow is a difficult path 

 

But we all walk it 

With the wish 

That we encounter happiness

Joy is lighter than air, sorrow is thick and viscous. It sticks to you and is stubborn, so maybe we should all walk uphill to find more joy after the sorrow of the climb of course! 😃

Thank you too, my friend, your artistry moves me. I was about to give up on my writing life, I almost built a bonfire in my backyard with all my notebooks! I'm glad I hesitated, and found a safe space to continue writing...
