What I think of adversity, I think of tolerance of rain, I think of dark clouds, I think

of things that you don't have any control over, and yet they're coming at you, and you have

to make a decision, what do I do, do I just stand here, or do I move, you're growing up

in the Mississippi Delta as I did during the era of legal segregation, it was a time that

adversity was surrounded once life, it was like tolerance of rain that had been coming

for generations, and sometimes it seems if it would never stop, but somewhere along the

way you ask yourself the question, how do I get out of this rain, what do I do, what

can I do to make a difference, to bring some sunshine into my life?

Into every life as the sun says, some rain must fall, and rain is what people run away

from, to get out of, but it is also the rain that waters and nurtures those incredible ideas

that live within us.

I think that adversity is challenging, no question about it, but it also becomes a great

teacher as well.
