I wish to live because life has within it that which is good, that which is beautiful, and that which is love. Therefore, since I have known all of these things, I have found them reason enough and–I wish to live. –Lorraine Hansberry, To Be Young, Gifted, and Black

Beautiful–both the quote (which I hadn’t run into before) and the photo.

Yes! Thank you! The quote is written in my “adolescent” quotes journal. I was sharing it with my students earlier the day of the post. After leafing through it, I decided the HansBERRY quote was perfect for my berries photo. (I don’t think anyone noticed the reason for the title–the relationship between the photo and the last part of her name. LOL!).

The photo of those shining berries with icicles is just wonderful. Haven’t seen berries having each their own icicles. Should have.
The quote is so deep and true, the will to live is strong and true in all of us. Thank you Chandra.

Yes! Right outside my front door. ☺️ It’s too cold for me. I’m not wandering more than a few feet from the door.

I had one look at the photo and thought it cannot be real. The photo is brilliantly shot.
