Standing on Rocky Ground



Truedessa' s Collection




















Remaining strong during difficult times
Embracing challenges, persevering
Surviving the wrath of storms
I've been pulled, bent and broken
Learning the power of faith & love
I seek light through dark clouds
Enjoying the small wonders of life
Never giving up on hopes & dreams
Courage is the will to keep climbing
Empowerment of the higher self...

    How important it is to never give up as it is only when we attempt that we realize what is possible.

    Climbing for yourself - yes, that is resilient and brave.. i also love those standing stone sculptures.. how they are both precarious and sturdy..almost an act of faith as well as natural lore..

      I took a few pictures on a recent trip to the coast. I created one of my own sculptures as well to leave behind.

      Hi Susan,

      I think we always need to search for the light as there is hope in light.
