I love the photograph, it has beautiful colors and lines. Your poem felt like a mantra spoken to self while walking up a steep hill.
Sorry to hear you’ve hit a rough patch. Remember K.Gibran’s “The deeper sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” That quote has helped me many a time.

thank you, Eliza! What a beautiful thought of Gibran’s…thank you for sharing it with me! I think I will copy the quote and place it on my fridge to cheer me on! Yes, that photo –glad you like it—and I am blessed that Mother Nature provided it for me! When I took the photo, I was so amazed that life could spring out of that mass of rock. Yes…a mantra…I hadn’t thought of that…but you are so very correct in your interpretation! Thank you! and thank you for your visit and comments!
