I was listening to a jazz station and the Shirley Horn song of ” Here’s to Life” came on in the music stream.I listened and I was stunned by the lyrics.I felt so much emotion in the few minutes that it was playing.It was both retrospective and forward looking.

It was a chilly morning and though the light was grey there was a hint blue in the skies. The day held out possibilities for change. A few hours after listening and taking in this song I was at the Museum of Modern Art. I went there to see the Georgia O’Keefe show. Again I was moved by color and light.

Here we are at this time of great possibilities: Giving it all we have…knowing there’s ” no yes in yesterday” and opening our eyes to the colors and art that are right in front of our eyes.
