Hope Rising/Be Still

By Stephanie Trotter

These images capture the fragile balance of life—the trials and the triumphs. Life’s storms ebb and flow. The wind may blow, the frost may settle, but eventually the storms recede. To be still is to know there is beauty found even in the tenuousness. Hope rises with each new sunrise; life is restored with patience and perseverance.
