Day 3, my image for breast cancer


An image that represents your condition. That's our challenge today, the third day of the health activists writers challenge. And an image I kept thinking of was a mountain, now not the pretty and pert Paps of Jura ( yes they are real and on the rugged and remote Isle of Jura). But an image that suggests a long slow endless climb, with glimpses of wonder and beauty but with danger at its core.

    Beautiful, Audrey. These worn down mountains feel so much like home to me. ~Catherine

    and all the shadow and light, and places to stop for a rest because you don't think you're ever going to make it to the top. Savage beauty indeed.
