We are strong, yet fragile.
We can go for decades, overcoming obstacles and attacks from unpredictable quarters. We wake each morning with a will to live in our gut, and an idea in our head; all the while somewhat confident that we can succeed.
Yet, in an instant we can be felled by a random comment, or a tone in a voice, or a look in someone’s eye.
That is who we are. Strong boned, soft skinned. Resilient and vulnerable at the same time.
We, Homo sapiens.
