“And when the future hinges on the next words that are said, Don't let logic interfere, believe your heart instead.”

-Philip Robison

Today was just not a good day.  I stood in a fire ant pile, it was entirely too hot for the middle of November, and I did not make it into the BFA program.

You win some and you lose some, I suppose.

So, I figured, "What better way to deal with my sadness than to go to the BFA Graduating Artists exhibit in the Museum of Fine Arts?"  I stood in the museum all alone and reflected.  I stared at the drawings so brilliantly displayed around me and cried a little.  

But then I came upon and installation piece by Mandy Yourick, where this little meatball-looking wax-covered pods were place in a coffin-esque container.  She invited people to take one home in a bag and plant it so a garden of their own may grow.  I saw this as a metaphor my life at this very moment.  I have to take what I have and make something out of it.  Maybe my life has yet to bloom.  


Maybe my life is yet to bloom.
