Description
6th abstract in a series of stories, poems, and musings of this life we find ourselves in and was also inspired by the artist's song of the same name.
-"With many of my family, friends, and neighbors, facing such fear and uncertainly right now, I wanted to bring some much needed hope and clarity to this life we are now living. I've found myself many times being overwhelmed by life's circumstances, as if my existence was on the precipice, just one more nudge tipping me over into death's chasm. The ability to grasp any rational thought is replaced by the mind's penchant for dramatic flare using broad paint strokes of fear fueled by the unknown. And though discomfort inevitably follows, the foreshadowed catastrophe seldom, if ever, manifests itself in real life. Instead, after the dust clears, and the swear words subside, my mind settles into some semblance of peace, and if allowed to observe the aftermath with a truthful eye, over time, the "sliver lining" appears. There is a strength to be found on the other side of tragedy. Through my on-going fight with grief and depression, I can say that there is hope to be found "Over The Waterfall". I may slip over the edge, but when I emerge again, there is a new world to discover on the river's path if I allow it to take me there.
[I do not want to make light of those who have suffered more than I, especially in these troubled times. I realize that there are those who have experienced the most horrific pain, but even then, I'm amazed at the resilience of the human heart to survive, and even flourish. This adds to my faith that I can see a better day ahead."]"
