A blank wall at the back of my mind.

At the opening of the Kataragama Festival, Sri Lanka's largest festival for Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims - the sun sets and these three ladies are caught in their own thoughts.
I know that I've posted several photos involving this Carolina First building. But, I promise, each is for a different reason. Truth is, one could sit here and shoot at this building on the hour, every hour and get subtleties of change in the window reflections. I am all about subtleties. Nuance.
Heck, I take thousands of shots of the moon. How boring could that be?
Never boring.
Always different.
She shows us the same face every night, but that face is held slightly differently.
This building always faces the same way and shows the same stone and glass. But that stone and glass shows more than itself.
Aren't we the same way? Aren't we seen according to our contexts? I'm fortunate enough that my contexts actually reflect parts of me. But though those contexts and expressions are all closely related, I am more than any one of them can express. Their connections aren't evidenced by any single manifestation.
I love to sit and watch this building reflect it's context. I love to watch it sit there, stone solid, unwavering, and yet express empathy to everything around.
It knows what is going on and it shows on its face. If the building across the street is feeling organized, symmetrical, and ordered, it can look into this building and see itself.
If the building feels jagged, chaotic, unsettled, squiggly, it can look across and see its own situation reflected, felt and expressed by a neighbor.
I want to be like that building. Strong, unmoving, solid, and beautiful. But I want my beauty to depend greatly on the reflections of those around me.

Just some thoughts. We live in an amazing time in history. Not the best of times but oddly amazing. We have a pandemic sweeping the globe, civil unrest peaking higher every day, a new cold war starting. These are crazy days. This is also the sort of time in history when real change often takes place. The big question is whether this is going to be change for the better or for the worse?
In two days they're going to do a CT scan on my RL head. I had brain surgery in Real Life last November. Now they're going to find out if I am still mending the way they want. I am going to remain optimistic about the world and my head.
Thoughts of spring are putting a smile on Suri's face. She loves riding her bike on sunny days.
Blythe a Day - Smiley Face - The 70s - 1/13/24
I've got lots of happy memories riding my bike around the neighborhood with friends in the late 1970s. I had a big white basket on my bike (no dog, though). I wore pigtails a lot, had a rainbow shirt, and liked to add a smile to my sun drawings. I decided to use simple construction paper shapes for my background to represent drawings I made as a kid. That idea came from Leslie who makes the best construction paper diorama background and props.

What are we looking for TODAY it's going to be the same we will look for TOMORROW?
How stable is the human nature to the meaning of "everlasting"?
