Day 083k: Graffiti gracing The Way … (July 06, 2019)
I tended to deeply enjoy the Meaning-full roadside artwork (aka graffiti) that so often graced The Way, in this case first providing as reminder that there is both light & color within everything seemingly fully shadowed, and secondly that – as long as we persist in the courage to set forth boldly into each day – we will all inevitably find our way Home …
