"Keep your face always toward the sunshine — and shadows will fall behind you." — Walt Whitman
There is something quietly defiant in this line — not an instruction to ignore darkness, but a reminder that where you direct your gaze shapes what follows. Whitman, who spent years as a volunteer nurse during the Civil War witnessing both suffering and resilience, wrote from hard-earned knowledge: orientation matters. Face the light, and shadows become afterthoughts trailing in your wake.
This Tuesday morning, let that be the posture: not pretending the hard things aren't there, but choosing to face forward.
