Blessed to work and be friends with Joh Morris Benichou
We hear your cry from the battlefield. Getting through each day at work, suppressing what you really want to say. Not fully seen.
Not fully recognized.
Pretending everything is fine.
The battlefield isn’t outside.
It’s the quiet war within.
Going home frustrated, yet still holding it all together.
Show us we are not alone
