This is a request... and at the same time... a CHALLENGE!

This is personal to me
Personal to you
Personal to them.

“Determined Ascension” is a very personal picture for me with a lot of meaning behind it.  It depicts the struggle I have against the outside world and my inner workings in hopes of self improvement.  It is a representation of my knowing that I am not perfect but I will fight and strive to be something more than I am.

Now I look at you.  All of you.  And I wonder what your depiction of your own “Determined Ascension” is.  I have shown you mine.  Let me see yours.  A drawing, photograph, story, poem, or just a message.  Let me see what is within you fighting to get out.  This is not a contest.  There will be no judging.  This is a request.  And at the same time it is a challenge.  


Send me a message with the link to your work and I’ll post it here in this journal.

Now show me what you got!

*EDIT!*
I was thinking.  It's great that some of you out there see this challenge.  But I want more.  I want to see more.  (I'm greedy that way.)
I was wondering if you guys could help me spread this.  If you're feeling spunky you could point people you think would participate in this direction.  We could all see what their "Determined Ascension" is.
We'll make a chain of it.. an army of it.... a LEGION!

*Edit Part 2*
It's been a while.  So far I've gotten two participants.  Perhaps I should take this down now?

*Edit Part 3*
I have not forgotten about this challenge.  I've been patiently waiting to see if anyone else would submit something.  Alas there is nothing so far.  Currently I'm trying to figure out what else to do with this.  Any suggestions?

*Edit Part 4*
And I'm back at this again.  I'm thinking about moving it to my Blogger page.  Don't worry, all links to your submissions will be retained.  I just want to broaden the participation a bit.

Your Determined Ascension.

She's been a DA buddy of mine for a while now.  I have always loved reading her poems and stories.  And I definitely have enjoyed reading her take on my Determined Ascension challenge.
Take a look.  [link]

Another DA buddy who has managed to amaze me.
Her Determined Ascension was something I didn't think of but read and realized how beautiful it is.  Read it with an open mind and understand that "ascension" comes in many different forms.

Pyrewulf has taken a completely approach to the challenge.  I think it's terrifically interesting.  Please take a look.
