Paul Andrew Russell

I've been enjoying reading the poetry of Paul Andrew Russell from his book Pocketful of Words. As whenever I find something deeply moving, I have to illustrate it in visual form. Many of you know I am one of those people who is constantly battling serious depression. The words in the picture below are the final words to his poem titled, "Cape Spear." To me they are saying that even though life may at times become unbearable, there is always some reason to not give up and carry on. Maybe even the universe will push us forward.
