Happy art day
These pictures were taken a while back and I realized I never posted them, so here are some of my favorites from a visit to Wynwood Walls in Miami, FL
I love art in most forms, even when I don’t always understand the meaning behind some of the artwork, still always try to appreciate the effort put into it by the artist. My first encounter with art on a grand scale happened when I first moved to Brooklyn, New York, many moons ago and had the great fortune of moving into an apartment building on Eastern Parkway was located directly across from the Brooklyn Museum which very quickly become my go to place on the weekends, beside the library, the Brooklyn Botanical gardens and Prospect Park.
One of my many pleasures is exploring street art whenever I can, but overall I am always game for a visit to museums and galleries or any kind of cultural places where I can learn something new, even as I get older I try to never miss an opportunity to learn.
Reflecting on Life Memories
These last two weeks I have dealt with a couple of unexpected life changing events which have caused me to reflect on the things we seem to take for granted, until we are jolted out of our quiet existence.
I remember reading years ago a quote by an unknown author « Life is short and then you die » which left a lasting impression on me, I try to live my life with that thought in mind.
The sudden loss of my brother a week ago, followed two days later by the death of another family member made me reflect on this quote while at the same time throwing me into my memory bank of shared experiences, thank God all pleasant memories that put a smile on my face regardless of the pain of losing cherished loved ones.
We always hear that life is promised to no one and that we should live it to the fullest and in harmony with others, as much as we can, so we can spare ourselves the agony of regrets. Could have, should have after the fact will always leave a void in our hearts.
I will forever love and carry my brother with all my heart and be thankful for all the fun memories we shared along with our siblings.
Until we meet again, rest in peace my brother.
