I love the image of an upperward spiral staircase. So often we hear of downward spirals.

Beautiful perspective, Darnelle. Focusing upward on the spiral staircase is the key. Onward!

In reply to Sabrina Thomas. Thank you for your kind comment. I love that quote as well. Just as the river can move slowly or swiftly, so too can our mental and emotional being shift slowly or swiftly, but it does change whether we realize it or not.

In reply to Arlene Laskey. Thank you, Arlene! One of my favorite songs years ago in youth choir said, "You turned my stumbling block to a stepping stone." So true of how God works. :-)

So true, we are not the same on the inside as we were before. I appreciate so much in the quote regarding “the same river twice.” Thank you, Darnelle.

Lovely blog post, Darnelle! I like that part about using your experience as a stepping stone – great visual!
