The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Still Holding Strong







The rickety bridge holds steady 
underneath his bare dusky feet. 
Un-sturdy but still fastened,    
the darkling waters do waver. 
He prays, then crosses over.

We should always find a way around every issue or stagnation. A bridge was built so it can be destroyed. But the ones we create by ourselves, they stay.

Dear Rose, I think you have expressed determination and purpose in ways that are encouraging. Life is full of potential dangers and unknown futures. We need that deep down courage to persevere. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

If we keep Hope alive and we pray fervently, the burden is often lighter and our feet are more steady when we cross that fragile bridge. Thanks for reading Daniel
