Duality #22

To see my Dualities gallery, CLICK HERE.

At the risk of sounding like Scrooge, I'm not really into Christmas. I guess if I were religious and/or had grandchildren I might feel differently, but the truth is, I do best treating it as just another day. Which is what I did, and it was lovely. I started the day doing my favorite thing and that is creating dualities on the computer. This one--Duality #22--was particularly fun to put together! In the early afternoon Ed and I watched a terrific documentary video on the modern dance choreographer, Paul Taylor. At different times during the day I had wonderful phone visits with my older sister on the East Coast, my younger sister on the West Coast, and my dear friend Dorothy in San Francisco. At 5:30 p.m. Ed and I went over to our neighbor's for a festive dinner. Al even had homemade spinach lasagna as the main course because she knows I'm vegetarian. A sweet addition was music by their son who has taught himself to read music and play the piano. We were home early and went for a walk/scoot down to the lake where we saw the full moon hanging like a silver disk in the sky. And now Ed's watching TV in the kitchen and I'm upstairs at my laptop. As I write, I hear Ed start to play the piano, so I go downstairs and sing with him. The perfect ending to a perfect day.

If Christmas is your holiday, I hope it was spent with the people you love, doing whatever gives you the greatest joy.

Wonderful work Pat. From what I read, it looks like you have spent a very meaningful Christmas Day. Vote.

I really enjoy reading your story, Pat. Your pictures always inspire me. Somethings came to my mind when I first saw these two pictures - "tangible vs intangible". In our lives, intangible things are always much more beautiful than those tangible. However, as you mentioned, we should treasure the people we love - the tangible.

Wish you and Ed all the best in 2008.
