At any age and stage of life there are obstacles and opportunities, trials and triumphs.

"On Stage" -

Blinded by the light.

Fearful of the light.

Swept up among the light.

Humbled by the light.

Fearful no more.

THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES

AMSTERDAM, Art in Light Street UAMC - Life consists of infancy, youth, the middle years and old age. Each stage is an important and beautiful time of growth, learning, caring and sharing in a special and unique way.

Green the sign of birth

Fades to colors of autumn

Wilts to graying death.
