Tonight's photo — which comes to us from our colleagues at Axios Portland — was taken by an 18-year-old in Oregon who's recovering from drug addiction and is two months sober.
The teen, who is part of Collective Roots, a family recovery group, says there's joy in "appreciating the world."
"Like embracing the realization that the world doesn't owe you anything, but it can give you a lot — and it does."
In light today’s earlier post, isn't there always a great tension in knowing about the co-existence of profound beauty (joy, sunsets, mountains, etc.) and unspeakable terror (Maine, Gaza, Ukraine, etc.)? Sometimes even that seems like too much...but, it is necessary (see Barbara Holmes reflection here).
