Dance




Yesterday, I traveled Hot Springs to work in the gallery. Hot Springs is a wonderful small town with streets lined with trees.  While driving, two trees captured my attention.  They were intertwined.  I was rushed for time, so I could not stop to capture a quick photograph.  So I attempted to file the image into my memory, which is always dangerous.  Later at the gallery, I quickly sketched the two trees relying on my memory forged from a passing glimpse.

I remember the entwined trees leaned to the right as if dancers bending to a song. The limbs of the trees made very sharp and unexpected turns; apparently the two dancers had a troubled past since broken and damaged limbs are cause of sudden turns.  Regardless of the past, they still danced.  And now, the trees were merged and one could not exist without the other.  

Everyone deserves a chance to dance, to sway to the music, regardless.
