Life Echoes Life
“Life imitates art.” That’s the theme for this week’s Daily Post photo challenge.
Hmmm. I thought of a great photo op for this topic but, alas, it would involve two other people who are not available today, a drive to a city park where the art is located, and getting wet in the rain… Maybe next time. Or later in the week, at least.
In the meantime, here’s my take on life imitating art imitating life. Or something like that.
It starts with a photo of my daughters playing the piano:
which I used to create this painting:
“Girls at Piano” by me.
And now my daughters are grown, and my granddaughter, while not “imitating” her mom and aunt or the painting of them, is nonetheless creating her own version of the theme:
I’m not sure how the dog fits into all this, but I’m sure that — with my granddaughter’s tutoring — he’ll be playing in no time at all.

Where the Grass is Greener
It rains a lot where I live. And the landscapes are very green here. At times I get a bit gloomy about so much rain, but I always appreciate the lush greenery.
For me, green is the color of optimism.
I also appreciate “green” environmentalism and sustainability efforts. While I don’t go around hugging trees (well, sometimes I do, but only ones that I know really well), the fact that there are people committed to helping nature survive our negative impacts makes me feel optimistic about the future of this planet. And that same responsible and farsighted commitment makes me optimistic about the nature of humankind.
I try to steer away from politically controversial topics on this blog, but nature isn’t a political entity. It has no hidden agenda. Nature does not discriminate against anyone or anything on any basis whatsoever.
Nature holds no ill will, covets nothing and demands nothing. Yet it gives us life. We owe nature some serious respect, and the most conscientious, careful and caring guardianship we can give.
Each spring when I see new growth on the trees around me, I feel renewed hope. For me, green is the color of optimism.
