Steadfast

Still blooming despite wind, rain and cold
Crinkly Leaf Cactus native to South Africa

Enthusiasm builds slowly from

sparks buried deep in the soul ~

passions sheltered from the world

until curiosity stirs cooling embers.

Enthusiasm builds slowly from

moment to moment, bit by bit

while we gently carry beliefs

on the roads that we travel. 

Enthusiasm builds slowly with

many ups and lots of downs

til one day ~ someday ~ everyday

there’s reason to call ‘Cheers!’

“It’s faith in something and enthusiasm for 

something that makes a life worth living.”

~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
