Melting happens when the ions or molecules in a solid break down to a less ordered state. I feel like we could learn a thing or two from that giving way to a chaotic existence.
The abstract paintings by San Francisco artist Jenny Sharaf with their oozing, liquified color remind me of the freedom to be found in the melting away of our perceived orderly lives.
I’m a list maker. A bed maker. A straighten up before bed type. In some respects, it works for me– it makes me very good at my freelance work. On the other hand, it can make me a bit annoying to live with, but Mr. F thankfully puts up with my quirky type-Aness. Our traveling together has helped me to melt away of some of that. Things can’t always be just so. And I need to learn to enjoy the times when the state of our lives is in a less ordered state. If there were more structure, there would also be less freedom, less adventure. I’ll take the melting.
