Today’s Anagram:
“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” ~ Pablo Neruda
My delight and thy delight
Walking, like two angels white,
In the gardens of the night:
My desire and thy desire
Twinning to a tongue of fire,
Leaping live, and laughing higher;
Thro’ the everlasting strife
In the mystery of life.
Love, from whom the world begun,
Hath the secret of the sun.
Love can tell and love alone,
Whence the million stars are strewn,
Why each atom knows its own,
How, in spite of woe and death,
Gay is life, and sweet is breath:
This he taught us, this we knew,
Happy in his science true,
Hand in hand as we stood
‘Neath the shadows of the wood,
Heart to heart as we lay
In the dawning of the day.

One thing is certain about life, the tough times don’t go on forever. How we navigate through them tests our character and determines the happiness we experience. We can, during those tough moments, be an example to those who see us. We can show them we have grit. We can keep on grinding until we make it through the tough times. You are tougher than your tough times. Ten times tougher, maybe 1000 times tougher. Don’t let them get you down. Stay strong, push on ahead.
