spirit never dies

A loss of signal recently sent chills through the Jet Propulsion Laboratory that the little rover, Spirit, had her wings saturated and weighted in red dust from a violent storm, and that she would be silenced forever.

Behold! On the Second Day, although weakened by the ferocious burden, she responded to commands sent from home and struggles to live.

And it got me to ponder...in our lives, how the body has an inert strength to heal physically, and that no matter how depressed we get, how far we tumble, we can rise again, dust ourselves off, and although the outlook looks bleak with conflicting signals, our bodies are fortified to heal spiritually.

Depression does always go away. All ways.

Hey, dear bloggy friend, are you up to a game of TAG? If so, come on over for the details. No pressure, though. I thought this one was right up your alley. ;^)

It's very true Phil. A human is a remarkably resilient being. Even when it feels like it won't go away, it does.
