Ben, I'm sure many will relate to this. Life flings us to the highest reaches and then plunges us to terrifying depths. It's a wonder we survive as long as we do. We're stronger than we know.

I love your images - simple yet powerful. I've experienced what you describe on and off in my life. What keeps me going is the "moments of awe" and beautiful connections with people, art, music and nature. I think we all need to plan to have more of these moments in our lives.

Take care of yourself, Ben.
