Cotton candy and bitter pills
13th June 2020
We are swallowing so many losses one after another.
I almost feel guilty looking at this pink fluff.... but why resist?
When I shot this on April 26 the cherry blossoms were peaking. I was at the Arnold Arboretum early on a Sunday morning, and I sensed a lift in our collective mood.
Blossom gathering is a healthy alternative to other elixirs I might seek to ease my need for happy distractions.
On this day I was waiting for the clouds to break. As I stood observing, I witnessed two rendezvous - couples meeting in the park. These vignettes fit this stage set perfectly. And for a while, optimism wafted about.
