Downpour

This is a beautiful face. It’s more than a face, it’s a road map of a long life. Each line and wrinkle reveals a route taken, a choice made, an obstacle in the road. Not every route taken led in the right direction, not every choice was a wise one, not all obstacles were overcome. But the trip isn’t over yet.

There are days…and we’ve all experienced them…when getting by isn’t just the best you can hope for; there are days when getting by is a victory. Those days may add another furrow in the brow, another wrinkle around the eye, another line on the road map, but they always end. And no matter how heavy the rain may fall, at some point it will let up. It always does.
