Ok, got my coffee brewing on the stove, the house is quiet, Lightroom is open with some decent looking head-shots of Michelle and it is finally time to blog. These last couple blogs are getting published a little late in the week, I'm going to have to get on top of it!
About a day after I posted the last blog, I was driving to work and had a journey of thoughts for about 15 minutes that followed no apparent course. It went from thinking about family drama to what makes life good, contrast in photos to what defines good art and finally to the quote, "Life imitates art [...]". The whole gist of everything is that without contrast in art, what ever you define art as, there would not be anything interesting to look at or experience. Without contrast in life, the experience would be bland.
Generally, I do not want to feel pain. I do not particularly enjoy experiencing heartbreak and unhappiness. But with out those unwanted experiences I would not know how good being healthy feels, or how good it is to experience joy. I have been trying to learn how to experience the bad parts of life, the contrast to good, in a way that will let me completely appreciate when times are good.
When I get to the end of my life I want to look back and know that I experienced the hell out of it.
