WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

Reflecting on how these birds feed and cloth themselves, I still can't phantom how they survive in the wild. It still amazes me how we still wake to meet this new day with new hope. Sometimes it's interesting how we manage to survive through these tides of testaments. And although we may express delight in how far we have come, we have a duty to acknowledge whoever contributed to helping us reach this milestone.
