Each Passing Day
With each passing day
the past grows ever longer,
even though we already
cannot fathom its scope.
With each dawning day
the present forgives us,
and offers a clean slate
to create what we choose.
With each dream or hope
the future takes shape.
Have we learned from our past?
Are we setting the stage
today?

“You stood your ground, now the ground has shifted
Thought you’d lost your way, but the fog has lifted
Faced the darkest nights, now the time has come
to reclaim your soul, and face the sun…”~ (Face the Sun)

Frame of Mind
aging… change… inevitable.
cracks, moss, peeling paint…
we could fill the cracks, kill the moss,
slap on a fresh coat of paint…
and pretend it’s new again.
we could let it succumb…
to deteriorate into a heap of
rotted wood and crumbled stone…
and pretend it’s dead,
even though it’s not.
we could let it age with dignity,
maintaining – as best we can –
the structural foundation,
while letting the history of
weathered storms, myriad encounters,
passing years…
tell it’s stories with grace, honesty and pride –
even if for nothing other than the fact that
it is still standing.
My vote is for dignity.

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.
