Last night, at Wal-Mart, the sign's lights were out in such a way that the sign only lit up the word 'art'. Something intriguing about it. Something sad and beautiful too. Like it was trying so hard to be something it's not. Something that it never will be. Life imitating art. Or is it art imitating life? Trying so hard to be something better than it is. We are painting the canvases of our lives. You. Me. Us. We. Becoming better. And that's something to celebrate.
You made me appreciate Wal-Mart for a fleeting second. A triumph.
ReplyDeleteLove that picture! Interesting thoughts about the Wal-Mart sign. I had to contemplate a few moments.
ReplyDeleteI agree with E. Lovely words. I would like to think art imitates life.
