We when are young, it’s easy to believe we are invincible. We’ll live forever, nothing can touch us. But as the years creep onward, we realize just how very tenuous this life is. As delicate as a flower. The work of UK artist Simone Truong reminded me today of this beautiful fragility we so often take for granted.
It can happen in the blink of an eye– one wrong turn, being in the wrong place at the wrong time in a split second and life is never the same again. We become so tempted by the path everyone else has chosen that we forget that we are only given this one chance. Why use up our chance living someone else’s dreams? Or by not filling every day with as much love, beauty and kindness we can muster?
