a mighty hubris felled.
D-spair?
Dan, life is a series of peaks and valleys ... ups and downs and twists and turns. In the valleys, everything looks like an uphill climb. But while the mountain peaks create great vistas ... it's in the valleys where we find life.
It's darkest before the dawn ... but it's that darkness that makes you appreciate the light.
Beautifully written, mate.
