Daily ponderings

When are you most happy?

A story told, through a face etched with transmutation, speaking without words

I can tell you a story, about a young woman’s journey, using pictures in place of words, which span chapters, unwritten yet brimming with a story, telling of a 6 year progression of a journey, told through the time evidenced in alteration.

Where do I turn? When memories come back to you, like a guiding flashlight, rejoice in the guidance they can offer you, through remembering a distant time ago, before your sense of direction became scrambled by adversity.
