This piece was photographed in a Veteran’s park in New Jersey. I was struck by its posture right away. Due to the theme of the space, sadness and loss were the emotions that first came to mind. Later, I could feel exhaustion, powerlessness and defeat. Later still, I identified shame and embarrassment. What do you see? Are there more feelings and states of mind represented? How about being IT for Hide and Seek and covering your eyes? What about a big spinal stretch or quick nap out in the sunshine? Certainly it is open to interpretation. What we see might also be impacted by the mood we are in or the energy available after a busy day. We are capable of the posture and have the imagination to assign a meaning to the form. The lesson is to stay flexible and open minded; to keep moving and growing and learning; to listen with tolerance and understanding and goodness. If we develop hardening of the arteries or the attitudes, our quality of life suffers.
