protect and survive
justine has challenged us again to present a photo and invite you to guess what

cross the line
walking away (again)

lost directions

and find me

missed chance
hands in
pockets

tied his

“life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes
don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow

living?
