Life is immortal. It escapes the fingers of fate. Its forms change, adapt, slide, embrace and reject, and still persist. Thanatos, pervasive shadow of our future, stands, but Eros has already seeped through. Seeds of life grow where we no longer expect them. An existential lichen hovers over our darkest projections and the future digs deep to its flesh and its origins to redefine itself. This labyrinthic present follows the thread of its instinct. A response from the innate sense of survival. Life is stronger than hope, this is the meaning of creation.
