As exciting as it is to live in the 21st century - with all the advances in science, arts and technology - doing so comes with its own unique conundrums. Ones that cannot be solved by a computer, robot, or machine. Or even in a test tube…

A year

That shocked and ravaged us.

Debilitated and devastated

Tested our resolve

And often found us wanting.

The year of the unknown quantity

And dangerous lessons.

The year of life

Hanging by a string.
