fragility of life................ so much beauty.. promise... but life throws curve balls.. cracks , creases, bumps in otherwise solid ground and steady terrain.... no matter.. the beauty, the promise always shines through.... might look faded , blurry in the distance.. one cant always see with full clarity... but in time.. things generally come into focus....... become sharp and clear and strong as always.. amazing thing about time , distance and gentle, loving kindness
