Some days/weeks/months/years feel like this:

“Life is just one damned thing after another, whether it is private or public life. And looking back upon history (which in reality, of course, has never stopped happening, even during our brief halcyon days), one can see that in almost every age in almost every part of the world, human beings have had to live their normal lives and do their normal business under conditions of uncertainty, danger and distress. . . ” Arnold J. Toynbee

I must remind myself often that “this too shall pass.” Life can have beauty, meaning, purpose, wonder. I believe it, even when I am in the dark night of the soul. The sun shines on the other side of the world, even if it does not currently shine on me.

Viktor Frankl lived through the Nazi death camps…a lot worse situation than most of us will ever face. I find comfort in his words

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” – Viktor Frankl

Whether you feel it or not today, choose your own way. Keep going. The future may surprise you. This too shall pass.

Listen to the new Tonewulf album “The Heavy” releasing tomorrow – 3.14.2025 – as a solace to those going through heavy times.
