Invincible

Photo: Me in Harbin’s Songhua River, China (8-15-04)

I can’t sleep.I feel I am standing on the edge of my destiny.After months–no, years–of hoping and dreaming and having those dreams dashed into a million pieces, I sense that I am entering into a new season.I have finally learned how to overcome frustration and disappointment.I feel invincible.

This is a new day for me. . .
