“ Let the devil bar my way, I will come back to ye. ”
The past can teach us, nurture us, but it cannot sustain us. The essence of life is change, and we must move ever forward or the soul will wither and die.
~ Susanna Kearsley
Ye'll never best your fears until ye face them

There are times when our victories have a cost that we did not foresee, when winning brings us loss.
