Speed of Life
In this image, I see an illustration of life, the speed and brightness at which we live. So round and robust and brilliantly bright in the beginning and for many years. Interspersed are the moments that give us pause, the little patches of darkness, shadows that we get through at first. Then something brings us to a full stop. It could be a simple awareness of incongruity with ourselves and the world, or a full-blown death sentence. No matter the size of the situation, it is significant. And I believe it is a gift — whether it is a choice or a forceful stop of that life path and finding ourselves sinking into darkness.
