From the ArtistI know the feeling of putting one foot in front of the other, robotically moving forward because there is no other choice. Whether it’s physical exertion pushing me farther than I was prepared for or the more frequent mental burnout, we’ve all been there: just surviving. Living through those moments that stretch us mentally and physically.
In a hike, we’re often rewarded for our exertions with incredible views and wonderful memories. The exhaustion fades from memory in the face of such beauty. This painting serves as a reminder that the same can be true in life: you might be Almost There, that moment of beauty may be around the next bend. Trust that it will come again.
