Interesting rereading this blog post from Oct 2010. Stair into Space.
It talks about a painting I had just received. Interestingly enough I’m looking at that same painting as I type, 10 years later on a different wall, in a much different home and country but still the feeling remains.
There is a past and you need to review your steps, but the focus MUST be the future. 10% where I’ve been – 90% where I’m going. We’ve aimed to make that the motto as we’ve made decisions again and again fine tuning the path ahead, drawing on history but marching forward, towards the light.
I’m looking at a painting tonight that I was given last month.
It’s a watercolour showing a wooden pathway through a forest leading to a glorious sunrise or sunset. You really can’t tell which one it is.
It’s called ‘into the light’ and reflects an image from Long Beach on Vancouver Island.
I love that picture.
The picture below is another view of the Fall colors in Michigan and also symbolizes the path to the light. I include simply because I can. 😉 I can’t get enough of these colors – and yes, that is the correct US spelling. And yes, I maintained the Canadian spelling of ‘watercolour’ from the 2010 blog post. It’s tough to ‘live’ on both sides of the border. Have a great week.
