Seeing 2013 (#21)

For your consideration:  rugged day, far harder evening.  C'est la vie, de temps en temps.

In such times sometimes all that's to be done is to rely upon one's foundation, solidly rooted, and simply endure.  Time will erode and remove superficial, cosmetic adornments, but the true core will emerge amidst the damage as a beacon and, for the soul, safe harbor.

The scene below: a solitary edifice silently narrates a saga of once prosperous times long since past.
