corner view ≈ growing

how fluent flow is, how logical and yet, at times, how improbable: the growth of a house renovation, from shambles to organised shambles, not wanting to put too fine a point on it. the growth of our son into a young man, struggling with unexpected tits for tats. the growth of inner strength, by confidence through experience. not forgetting growth through conclusive mistakes. 
however! all for a good cause. i can't shake that best exotic marigold hotel feeling now, in which a weathered british cast complies with a simple life, and finds out it's never too late to grow into your own. jane's corner view, francesca's hosting, kasia's theme.

    "Everything will be alright in the end, so if it's not alright, it's not yet the end."
    I'll write that behind my ears, dear.
    And I'll watch that film, it was on my to-watch-list anyway.
    :o)

    Watch the stream flow along its banks.
    It comes to a dam of wood bits.
    It continues to flow,
    causing pressure to build,
    until the wood bits move.
    The water flows and the wood bits move with it
    not against it in the end.

    daily evolutions. sometimes hard to see at times unless we squint, but looking back changes are easier to perceive.
    we grow into and out of our skin several times in a lifetime.
    hopefully
