mortality

there are two aspects to mortality; the physical and the spiritual.

i go back and forth dwelling on the vulnerability of the two. sometimes, i realize the frailty of the physical- it's limited duration, it's complicated and easily thwarted system, the ever-changing and unexpected. other times, i realize the frailty of the spiritual; the emotional ocean, the unrelenting weakness, the doubt.

these passionate and fickle spirits lie at the helm of life. "life is 90% mental and 10% mental."

a photo essay of one man tells the stories of women, thwarted by the unexpected storm of physical pain and mutilation, who's spirits soar above the physical limitations of this mortal life. we are forever beings and the strength that is seen through suffering is testimony enough for me.
