Larger than life itself are 

‘the slings and arrows’ 

that catch us upside the head
when we least expect it.

Solid stones hitting 

squarely in the solar plexus

catching our breath,

bunching it into a ball of fear,

until breath comes naturally.

A new path opens to opportunity 

for growth and change

despite a still muddied horizon

but with studied clarity of purpose

and belief that challenges create

goals for any next step.

“Don’t waste a minute not being happy, If one window closes, 

run to the next window - or break down a door.”
