Serenity

The tranquility of the sky seemed to bring birth to this stone sculpture. There was a cool, Cote d'Azur, afternoon sun when I discovered this impressive feminine figure, atop a high hill, amongst several others, her sisters. Alone in a corner, she was overlooking the French Mediterranean, peacefully perched on ancient Roman ruins. I thought to myself, "How can time not but help stand still in such a serene setting? How can the notion of hours hold any thrust before the tender breath of such a goddess? If she were to speak, what secrets would she whisper? What celestial treasures could she reveal to me? And would I be prepared to grasp them, in my so temporal consciousness, even if she did?" Yes, this photograph promises to safe keep these reflections and the yearning to inhale the eternal spirit of femininity.
