I was talking to my new neighbour on the deck when it began to rain. The sky was bright and blue. I told him I could not remember the last time we had a sun shower and he said he was thinking the same thing. He moved in with a need to completely get rid of his old life. Painting the house a clean white, ripping up the carpet, selling his old furniture. He said it was a fresh start. It was for me as well.
I was very proud of the smile on her face in the sculpture. She seems happy, enjoying the dichotomies of nature and life. So this is my fresh start. Cleansed by the rain and given warmth by the sun.
