The Gates
This beautiful picture from the Christo gates in Central Park in New York City is (most gratefully) courtesy of Random Jottings. I honestly don't care if they're art or purposeful or any of the rest of it. What I do feel joyous about is their spirit, their softness, their brightness, the interest in the Park that they've generated, the smiles and bright eyes that they've caused. I look at this picture and others, some from above, and feel relief that all is not terrorism, anxiety and mayhem. As well as all the purpose and focus we need and have, occasionally into our quietly desperate lives we very much need utterly pointless and silly. Thanks to saffron fabric, we have it for a little while.
