AND A PERSON
Mandela as an example
The world's knowledge of Nelson Mandela has grown exponentially thanks to media saturation this last week.
The comparison to George Washington as father of his nation is apt. Both men were requisite for their moment in history and by all accounts both rose above their own pain, suffering and challenge to evince a defining national character.
Churchill's legacy, rallying a battle scarred Britain to stand in the breach of WWII is another contemporary example-the correct person at a pivotal moment. Copernicus, Einstein, Newton and Da Vinci are among others who perceived and thought reality and boundary busting norms and who pushed history.
Is there something behind such motions of time and history? Fate? Serendipity? Providence? What do you think?
What makes some people so very special?

A POINT OF REFERENCEa meditation on
what was or what might be?
as an example
Though my skill is sub zero on any scale, I've always been fascinated with artist studios. And I've been lucky to live with an extraordinarily talented woman who has created fascinating spaces from which to create.
People and moments
historic passages
creative endeavours
break throughs in knowledge
like the advent of light in darkness.
Nothing is as it was before
that moment or that person.
And we have the good fortune to live with the difference.
See you down the trail.

Holy cow! Is (or was) that your garage? If so, I like this better. And you live in sunny California - the cars can stay outside.
ReplyDeletesome see a garage, some see a studio. the art side continues to grow and I'd like to do a few tweaks, but the artist is satisfied and prolific.
ReplyDeleteI think the universe is always looking for balance. We lose Mandela but now we have Pope Francis and Malala. There seems to be a grand design going on.
ReplyDeleteThat sure looks like a great artist's studio. Is there any natural light or are those lights adjusted to give the semblance of natural light?
There is a nice side window with western exposure. She will frequently open large doors and the room fills with great light. Those hanging lamps were selected and placed for the light they provide. It's a neat space.
