Michelangelo quotes “In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.”

From a statue already existing  may the sculpture bring forth a better world where magic still exists….

Now that worlds ending has been averted

What we need most is to be alerted

Of news and actions less perverted

To children once more converted

Knowing that we are not deserted

Before from this world we are departed

Let go thoughts and fears fainthearted

Seek adventures and worlds uncharted

 

Knowing that you will be supported

If fairy tales with happy endings are asserted

Like frozen statue wake again,  reincarted

From this year let life be rewarded

Even Gaia adjusts to change with each season
While we, lacking understanding, seek a reason
Why comfortable lives suddenly disrupted
Often just when we have adjusted
With passing time the why seems clear
Memories fade of  past held so dear
Now enjoy what once was dread

A brand new journey away from path once lead
Sip the wine from autumn grapes fermented
That left on vine would fall to earth lamented

So many options that I might have chosen for this weeks Weekly Photo Challenge.

However, this one immediately and always comes to mind.

Although not perfectly taken, the result benefited from the less than perfect focus.  Here the reflection and the reality meld into one.  It always makes me think of my amazement during my visit to the Musée d’Orsay.   What Monet was trying to capture in Lilies and other paintings. Or even more specatacular the cicular display of his works at Orangerie.

What Monet was trying to capture in Lilies and other paintings.

Not so much reality but a reflection or his impression of reality.
