Robin Small struggled to find what seemed so forever elusive – the answer .
Footnote: Robin seems to hold a flag for the sense of wonder and mystery that was more afforded in years gone by, than in our world today. Answers don’t always come easy, and sometimes there aren’t answers to everything. But Robin, although struggling, doesn’t seem (entirely) defeated by the struggle. Or the elusiveness of answers. He’s tentative? Undecided? Maybe ready to step or move? And those new paths often open up from not giving up when there seems no answer, but by having the determination to keeping seeking and exploring and examining what doesn’t make sense. Responding in your own way to whatever uncertainty arises and whatever struggle arises from it?

As choices lay before him, Robin whirled in the – well, well, well.
Footnote: Robin appears to be in a zone of great uncertainty – and cautiousness. He could be anticipating the next step? The ‘well, well, well’ could suggest he’s weary of the waiving finger of disapproval? Or maybe the ‘well, well, well’ relates to a discovery he has made?

Stories formed from our experiences. That’s why it’s so vital we have access to and seek out alternative stories that give us strength and hope. Help us realise our full potential. Particularly our children and young people.
