In This Together

It's a mixed bag at best. Some times those differences can seem vast. Sometimes those differences …
Juxtapose
Side by side we go through life. So many different ways this plays out, consider these few. Unless we choose the hermitic life, we strive to live with others. Friends, colleagues, even strangers, we go through this world side by side. If we're lucky, there's even that ONE special, other person with whom we share …
