We Shall Prevail

Here's a powerful quote cited by Morgan Freeman during tonight's Hurricane Katrina "Shelter from the Storm" relief/fundraising concert on NBC...

"I believe that man will not merely endure. He will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance." - William Faulkner

Brilliant. The human spirit is capable of more than we even comprehend. We face tough and often seemingly impassible obstacles in life sometimes but, in the end, we're much more capable than we even believe ourselves to be. Life goes on. It always will. We'll forever devise ways to survive and even to flourish, as we change with the planet upon which we live. That's just how the human spirit works.
