Continuance
Pen and ink contemporary fine art by Doug Ashby.
A long stretch fades from the horizon.
Looking back, what remains is an amalgam of memory and feeling—moments collapsing into a whole.
Yielding to wisdom.
Wisdom: the earned byproduct of a life endured. Grounded, we accept the mission laid before us.
Surrender becomes strength as the tides ebb and flow steadily.
Where once was a desire to break, unbroken circles became comfort.
Where once was softness, the naïve gives way to weathered hands—hands that mold what they can, and understand more deeply what they cannot.
The weight of years settles in.
Yet not defeated, continues forward.
