Lost in comparisons, lost in the crowds, I have hidden, feeling diminished, or, conversely, quite powerfully invisible; after all, when one is not noticed, one gains a certain confidence and freedom. At times it can be equally freeing to allow yourself to hide in the crowds until a great wind comes. You can see how long it's possible to hang on and gain that perspective. Or, you can learn the slow drift of the soggy puddles.
Oh, but your writing is beautiful and should not be lost in any crowd.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. . . I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the vast numbers of paintings available to view in that online course we're part of----trying to figure out how I feel about it all.
